Paypal limited

[jaime2309]

I opened a paypal account under a fictitous name because I was only using the account to load with green dot moneypak cards and sending money ton acquaintance. I got notified that i needed more info to unlimit my account so i just came clear and gave them my real name with my id, my social, basically everything they asked me for. What are my chances of getting the money that I have in the account back? It's only 160, but to me its a lot. Im broke. If they deny my request what other alternatives do i have of getting my money back or should i face the inevitable that i wont get it back?

First time post so thanks in advance to everyone that replies.

You'd have to wait 180 days, after 180 days you can the withdraw the funds to your bank account.

Alternatives: Payza & Moneybookers.

The thing is i dont have a bank account attached to the account.

What is pazza & moneybookers? I mean as alternatives? Alternatives to paypal? At this point i am just looking for an alternative to get my money back.

No alternative to get your money back, the best way is to contact paypal and have the issue resolved if possible

Yeah give them a phone call and explain the situation calmly, I find that PayPal are actually helpful when on the phone.

You will get your money back, but how long will you have to wait is the question. You could request a check at the most, unless you link your or someones bank account to it.

Yeah i did call in and she sent me an email to as to why i had to change my name and i explained that i did it under a fictitous name because i was only going to be dealing with people from craigslist and i didnt want any of my info even just my name being available to them. no back account was ever linked because i processed everything through green dot.
I submitted all of the paperwork last night and again this morning. Hoping that i get a resolution. I tried adding my bank account or card info like ten minutes ago and it wouldnt let me.

It really comes down to the person dealing with your case, I would imagine they would just change your details and assign the account to you and that'd be the end of it. Either way, good luck man.

The only thing that irked me i guess was that she said that she herself could not look at my account or anything and that this is handled by someone else. I am going to wait and see what happens. If anyone knows another way to handle this, let me know. Thanks everyone!

I highly doubt that they'd lift the limits. After 180 days, your funds will be available for withdrawal. You can send it to your bank account by adding a bank account on the day the restriction of withdrawing your funds has been removed (This is what they do for the UK anyway and I suppose it'd be the same for the USA).
