I tried to withdraw the money the money I had fund, but paypal reversed my transaction so the money never got deposited into my bank account.
I guess it was my fault, I should have withdrew all the money the moment it went into my paypal, but I waited until every transaction/all the items I were selling to be finished to withdraw the money. I made a request for a full withdraw, but the very next day, paypal froze my account and reversed the transaction.

That sucks, I will never use paypal for any Bitcoin related transaction then. Thanks for sharing....

Man, same thing happened to me 3 days ago, it was the first miner I tried to sell and I was so happy because it sold for a ridiculous price, good thing the buyer paid with eCheck and didn't clear before gaypal limited my account so I was able to cancel the transaction, otherwise I would've had to wait 180 days. ebay would be so much better off without Paypal. What's going on with Bitmit? can items still get listed there? or until they sell the company?

If Satoshi revealed himself and stated that he created Bitcoin for the sole purpose of replacing Paypal, it would not surprise me.

This is the email they sent me.
For the safety and security of the PayPal network, we often review accounts for potential risks. After reviewing your account, we have decided to close it because of security issues.
We are making every effort to minimize any disruption to your business.
If your PayPal account balance is zero, and you have no unresolved buyer complaints or chargebacks, your account will remain limited.
Disbursement options
Option 1. If you owe refunds to any of your buyers, you can use the money in your PayPal account to refund them.
To refund your buyers: 1. Log in to your PayPal account. 2. Click "Contact Us" at the bottom of any page. 3. Click "Contact Customer Service." 4. Under "Choose a Topic," select "Sending/Receiving Money." 5. Under "Choose a Subtopic," select "Refund/Cancel a Payment." 6. Click "Continue" and follow the instructions to refund payments.
Option 2. Money in your PayPal account will be held for 180 days. After 180 days, we'll email you information on how to receive your funds.

If anyone has this happened to them, can you pm me and tell me if you were able to get your fund back?

I believe the buyer reported you to paypal, because they won't even bother checking it...

This thread is exactly why we need Bitcoin  Smiley
I wonder why he didn't sell his miners on Bitmit ^^

Because people on Bitmit knew real value of those miners (if we talk about erupters)

Serves him right I guess.

If eBay runs by the same TOS or works with PP, then you're probably fucked. eBay hates mining and BTC, and anything they see involved with BTC on their site most of the times gets banned and shut down. That's just what I've heard from stories around the site, you'd have to check for yourself to make sure. Try calling PP or eBay and asking, that's probably the only way you'd ever get your money back. PP runs on a case by case basis a lot of the time, so if you get the right person you could have a chance at getting your money back. You'll probably be directed to a manager for that amount of money though, GL.

PP and Ebay works together, I said that in earlier post on this topic. PP gets most profit from ebay transactions

How about you start by visiting a lawyer, maybe he can find some loophole and sue their a**. Paypal is so.. ugh!
Maybe.  But sadly, I think paypal stated somewhere on the terms that if you were to be involved in cryptocurrency trading, your account would be in trouble.

PayPal has gotten out of control lately in regards to crypto.  They are holding several thousand dollars of my partners money for 6 months because he did a paypal trade on local bitcoins.

Hello Dear,
I know it too late but i need your help here.

I go the same issue with Paypal.
They didn't inform me anything about the security issue and the reason why they block my account?
I just wonder to know, have you got the payment after 180 days? As they didn't inform anything about what will they do after 180 days hold. What would be the payment process? They will need anything else or what?
The policy is not clear. So my friend i need you to share your experience.
Thanks in advance.
