Consumer Narrative
PayPal Limited My Account and They Can not Tell Me Why PayPal has probably the strictest rules when it comes to using their service. I have been using PayPal for about a decade and always had just one account until recently. PayPal limited my account a few days ago and it gave me way too many headaches. According to any reasonable human being, the PayPal limitation that was applied to my account was unfair and unjustified. They notified me over email that my account was limited due to suspicious activity. That can mean anything so the first thing I did was to check my account, look at the transaction history and logins but I could not find anything unusual. There was no indication that I did anything against PayPal To that would flag my account. As far as I could tell, my account was in good standing. After hours of looking into my account, checking their terms of service and looking through forums as to why PayPal would limit my account, I decided to give them a call. The person that answered had difficulties expressing himself in XXXX but after more than XXXX minutes of going back and forth, I decided to give up. According to the support representative, the reason I was suspended was specified in the email I received. my email is XXXX XXXX
