File complaints with the better business bureau, federal trade commission, attorneys general office of nebraska, attorney generals office of california. You WILL see results if you do this. Paypal will release your funds unless you've committed some kind of fraud

There are so many reasons of why you could become limited and pretty much all of them suck

Say you log in to your account at the library and then someone else with a limited account logs in on the same computer. Your account will get it now because you are "linked" to an account that needs issues resolved. Same ISP

You receive stolen funds even though you know NOTHING about it. YOUR sale was honest, but the money you were paid with was from a scam or some type of fraud.

I used paypal for YEARS and never had a problem until recently. I have since cleared up all of the issues by contacting the above mentioned places and I use paypal as little as possible now.

---- Paypal. Somebody should start a new payment system and charge 50% less than Paypal. You would be a gabillionaire in no time.

PayPal is both good and bad.

Some alternatives I have used are ikobo.com and money orders.

I used ikobo for an international sale. It's pretty cool. You get a debit card to access your monies.

IMO the 3% fee is acceptable and you shouldnt make the buyer pay that for you. You willingly upgraded your account and knew the fees would be in place. Every company in the world who takes credit cards, has to pay a fee on them. thats what you get for taking them. I dont take credit payments. If I do, I have a friend with a account that takes credit and I tell them to send him teh money+fees since I dont take credit on my paypal account. One time I didnt tell him to pay me the fee and paypal charged like 8% or some ----. I Was pissed, but oh well.

That's also a write-off for companies and they don't ever really "lose" money paying that fee, plus it's been proven that when a business accepts credit cards the customer usually is quicker to spend more money in his business so it's a win-win situation. ---- Paypal. :P
