Not Ranked
Ah paypal! Protection? I sent some money to a guy by paypal but I got his email wrong,mia culpa, he didnt get the money but I got a email message to say my paypal account was restricted. I checked with three different call centres (paypal) all saying my account wasnt restricted at all and I should report it. I did and they thanks etc and they would act on the links etc in it, as they take these things seriously.
My money was sitting unclaimed in the system so I cancelled the original payment and input the correct info to pay the guy. He got his money but my non existant restriction remained. Eventually I found I had a temporary second account where my money was placed and I cancelled that, but my money could not be refunded because it had come from my bank account via my card and was cash not credit.
The restriction was placed by paypal because I had overseas money comming into my account that exceeded US1000.00 (my own refund) and I had to go thru a sworn identity check for the Aust Govt (Anti money laundering requirement)
The result: My money awaits me as a credit in my paypal account until I can spend it on another purchase. Your right they can offer protection to from your own money.
