Issue: Unauthorized transactions or other transaction problem

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2021 Paypal permanently limited my I account and will not release it for 180 days, there was a despute which I always fix immediately to avoid limitation to my account but they still went ahead and permanently limited it. On the day that I found out about my account limitation on XX/XX/2021, I immediately messaged them but all they did was answered me with auto-generated answers which doesnt really help at all. 180 days is such a long time to wait for the money, I would have understood it if it was only 3 months but 6 months is such a long time, no consideration for the pandemic either.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem making or receiving payments

Consumer Complaint: Paypal acts as an intermediary that claims to have " Instant Transfers '' as they are even titled this at the transaction level on my bank statement. A quick XXXX search will even bring you to their webpage where it is written " An Instant Transfer is a way to send money or make a payment from your bank account instantly using PayPal. '' However, on 7 different occasions this year, an account that I use to pay a handful of bills and keep a low balance on has been overdrawn by paypal instant transfer transactions that are not reflected in my banking history until days later ( on a delay ). I would think the average consumer can reasonably assume that an instant transfer means that it will come out of your account the same day. That being said, I would recommend the CFPB review this for potential UDAAP Violations. As it sure does seem to be misleading and deceptive in regards to the verbiage used on their webpage ; leading to material customer harm in the form of potential NSF fees. Just some context, I bank with XXXX and if a transaction occurs that happens to overdraw my account I get text alerts with every single type of transaction - with the exception of paypal. Paypals transactions all reflect in my banking history on a delay but with a posting date of the date the transaction occured. Since they do not actually show until days after the fact there is not chance to fund the account in the event of an overdraft. I have contacted Paypal on this, as I have incurred 7 NSF Fees totaling {$210.00} and they refuse to do anything about it and keep referencing their legal agreement which does not speak to this issue. Additionally, Paypal charged the wrong card for 2 of these transactions. I reached out to them and even disputed the charges because I did not authorize payment on the card that was charged. Paypal has denied my dispute but has not closed the case with the merchant.The result is, that the merchant will not refund me for the returned items. My understanding is that this is a Reg E Violation in that all disputes are required to be either closed or a provisional credit issued within 10 days of the dispute. I opened my dispute on XX/XX/21 and while paypal case handling tells me the case is closed - the merchant wont refund my returned items because they are indicating that paypal hasnt communicated the result of their investigation.

Consumer Complaint: Basically PayPal has held my {$2200.00} dollars for over six months for u known reasons. I have reached out, I still cant withdrawn my funds although I was told I could no longer use PayPal anymore. That is perfectly fine, just release my funds & they can close the account, instead of delaying things. Right now they have no legitimate reason as to why they havent released my funds, just generic scripted messages. The email is XXXX.
