Glad you got it figured out, but I can never trust Paypal again.
I've been using them for nearly 7 years without issue. Until the past two weeks when I decided on a new venture of selling some things on eBay. I was doing pretty well, making decent money fast. There were no negative remarks nor any disputes and people were happy with the products. Right after I hit the $5000 mark in my account (I've never been that high before), Paypal limits my access, which is just a dumb way of saying: You can still receive money, but you can't send money, you can't purchase anything, you can't withdraw any money, and you can't close your account.
So for a week or so I talked to them via email and phone and sent them all kind of documents that they said they required as proof that I actually had the items I was selling, etc. I did everything they ask and all of a sudden, I'm smacking with the dreaded "we are holding your account and all your funds for 180 days" message. Basically, I can't do anything for 180 days, and only after that amount of time, I 'may' be able to get my money out but most likely my account will always be limited. This means, I don't get the money I rightfully earned, it's now Paypal's money, I'm stuck with some high eBay fees that I now can't pay through Paypal, and I can probably never use my Paypal again.
I just can't see how a company can do this, especially to a person who's done hundreds maybe thousands of transactions over 7 years without issue. It's just wrong and illegal to me, but because they aren't a bank or CC company, I guess they can do whatever the hell they want.
Just a warning to those with Paypal accounts. I trusted them for who knows how long and used it for everything. Now it's gone and I have to figure what I'm gonna do.
Anyway, sorry off-topic a bit and much of a rant.
