In case you did not see it, there is an article in the Technology section of the New York Times today about small businesses that have had their account frozen without justification and it also discusses what type of events can trigger a freeze. I only had a freeze once and it was on my Ebay account but luckily not much money was involved.

    did you get your account unfrozen? because I'm having second thoughts about using paypal everyday. Some people have had it frozen for upto 6 months!!! LIKE WTF!?? Its crazy but yeah as that nytimes article states, no one regulates them and they can pretty much do what they want....

    I have heard about account freeze but never happened to me. And hopefully it will never happen to me. But to think that someone's account got frozen, that person must've done something illegal. Too bad they didn't provide much detail about it.

    Paypal is not perfect. When you use it for online transactions or pay someone else, it's really fast. Luckily, my paypal account has always been ok and was never put on hold.

    I have had a few different PayPal accounts frozen to never be used again. I lost 100's in just one account. It's true it can happen at any time for no reason at all... Beware. But I do have to say, I have been using the same PayPal account for years now and have only had them limit it one time for about a month or so and then lifted that limitation.

    Leaving handsome bucks in your PayPal account is not a smart decision…. But if your account gets freeze why don’t you talk with their customer care representative….they have a very supportive staff.

    A few months ago I bought a WSO devoted exclusively to how to how to protect your Paypal account and deal with freezes. I have not had the time to read it but thought it might be helpful if I ever have a problem.
