PayPal imposed draconian security blocks AFTER I sold my unit
I have been relatively happy with PayPal for the small number of transactions I have made over the last 15 years or so. However, they overstepped the mark this last transaction - requiring about 6 forms of proof that I was not a business - culminating in a passport picture. Bank statements, enhanced drivers ID, receipt of sale, of original purchase were also needed, including confirmation that I have no stock room or store.
i called their live support Sunday and was offered some hope that they could see past the AI and see the simple history of a hobbyist. Not to be, I gave them their pound of flesh so I could get my money transferred to my bank. If they had notified me when listing I would have not used PayPal. Moving forward I will refrain from using PayPal unless absolutely necessary. It amounted to cyber blackmail.
I suggest you contact law enforcement and explain the situation of forcing to share an excessive personal information in order to receive funds belonging to you. I think feds bite cyber-blackmailing. It could be coming from person (employee) handling your case within PayPal. You should ask to speak to supervisor and copy every piece of your WRITTEN conversation. |
@glennewdick Canadian bank system is even more dangerous than paypal. Canadian government can freeze your funds there bye bye for reason or no reason and it happened already before.
