Yep, it's time for another "**** about paypal!" thread.
They locked my bank account from being used with paypal because someone tried to access it who wasn't me. Which is understandable, and I am glad that they prevented someone grabbing my money. They just prevent any bank account with any suspicious activity from conducting business with paypal. That's fine. I can understand that they are trying to cover themselves and protect the real owner of the account.
The problem is that I just sold a $2000 item and they won't send me a check over $500. Because I can't withdraw to my bank account, they told me that this was the only way to get my money off of their site. I have talked to multiple people and all have said the same thing and all have been equally unhelpful in trying to speed this process up. Apparently their policy is that they will not let a user withdraw more than $500 a month by check. I can either sign up with what I am sure is their craptastic paypal card to get the money, or wait.
So now I'm going to be stuck waiting at least four months to collect payment on the item. Thank you so much paypal! I had heard the rumors of them being terrible, but now I am just not going to use their services again. What a waste of time.
