PayPal continues to dissapoint day after day. They intrusively monitor all aspects of your account and can / will ban you for certain searches in your browser history.
Don't believe me? Create a PayPal account...
Search "PayPal Ban / PayPal account held / or PayPal Workaround / Or PayPal release money / OR PayPal reviews...
Then log back into the account. Wait 24 hours.
You will be "banned" from PayPal.
I have an eBay account with over 23,000 verified transactions, all positive feedback. I had ONE buyer dispute a transaction. I submitted my evidence, and paypal still withdrew $1430 from my bank account... I took the loss and moved on. Two weeks later, paypal banned my account and the ONLY reason I can speculate is that I had clicked on a few videos in my reccomended about the drawbacks of paypal.
Customer service REFUSED to address the ban or even tell me WHY and told me I would need an attorney to figure it out for me. I had a clean account for over FIVE years and nearly $400,000 in total sales through it.
ONE DISPUTE IN FIVE YEARS. THIS IS NOT A JOKE. All other platforms allow the industry average of 1% dispute rate (1 of every 100) transactions to be disputed before taking adverse action, but MOST just warn you and give you a break.
PayPal just lost around $18,500 a year in profit from my transactions. I hope they continue to lose profit. Please move away from PayPal. You've been warned. I highly doubt the legitimacy of 90% of these reviews. Just google their reviews...
