Paypal limitation & WoW account sale

[biuex]

Alright I appreciate any information on this situation. Basically paypal limited my account because i successfully sold my account and received payment via paypal. however when i try to withdraw it, they imposed a limitation as follows:

PayPal requires a copy of certain documents for verification purposes to return your account to regular standing.

Please submit each of the following documents:

- Contact information (phone number, email, etc.) for your supplier or suppliers
- Valid photo ID
Passport
Driver's License
National Identity Card

- Recent statement for any bank account connected to your PayPal account
- Proof of address
Utility Bill

- Proof of sufficient inventory for the following transaction:4NT0021 ( <>- Mar. 5, 2008 )
- Proof of sufficient inventory for the following transaction: ASDASD( <>- Mar. 5, 2008 )
Please make sure that the documentation you provide is valid and legible. If we do not receive all of the requested documents and information indicated within 7 days, we will be unable to complete the application review process.

Note: This information will not be shared with any third parties.


Problem is:
Apparently proof of sufficient inventory is an invoice or receipt of the goods sale, but it being wow account, theres no invoice! What do I do? I'm afraid that selling wow account is technically not allowed and they won't accept it? Since paypal is owned by EBAY and ebay forbids wow account listings. Also, what does supplier information mean?

Thank you all for ur help
PS: The integrity of the sale is not in question as the buyer didn't put a chargeback, it was perfectly fine and cool.

In all honesty, you won't see that money for 180 days, if ever. You will fax in all that information, and it will sit and sit in whats called the "stack station" and nothing will be done. This is one of the main down falls of Paypal, because this is one of the 'clever' ways they make money. I will explain how in a second. The "Stack Station" is a collection of filed, and by filed I mean thrown in a box, literally, of faxed documents. They will not be updated in PayPals 'system' unless there is a reason for those documents to be processed.

The reason PayPal is asking for a list of suppliers, is to get you to stumble for some time trying to figure out what they mean exactly while they transact your money into a bank. You could quite literally make up a business name, fake invoices, fake proof of inventory (which usually means a picture of your stock. Take a picture of your computer.)

Whats the purpose? Well, first you must realize PayPal is Not a bank, they are a middle man transaction service. Think of PayPal as the ugly red-headed kid who receives money from a blind man and told to give it to another blind man. (you being one of the blind men) So, for a company of their size to make money, it has to come from somewhere. Not only do you have fee's but you have things like what you are dealing with. What really happened, is that PayPal just cashed out your transaction with their main bank and gave the money to another secondary bank in a interest earning account (Money Market, or CD) both of which usually take about 6 months to mature and have gained interest (this is where the 180 days come from, which they will tell you about soon) So, if you submitted ALL of the info, and are lucky, they might give you back the money they took but they will keep the interest earned on it as profit. If you don't, they will keep your money anyways, which means even more profit for them and nothing for you.

Does this make sense?

What should you do? First, send in all of the information they request, and make three scanned copies of each. Send all the information in a large envelope as certified mail so they will have to sign for it (as proof they got it) - next, call PayPal every Two days to get your money. Do this from a land line so you can keep record of your calls and how often you are doing this. You will notice that they are going to dodge you when you call, they even have a "block list" or a "Third Room" - This is when your call will be sent to the same group of people who are processing people just like you who had their money taken the same way. The people in this area are usually the "stern loud guys" who will use an aggressive tone to make you Not want to call ever again. You think I'm probably joking, but I am not. After two months, send in your second copy of everything certified mail. Make sure you keep your certified receipts. Chances are, you still will not have received your money.

If you are completely pressed to get your money back (which you should be, it IS yours!) you need to start taking a little legal action. If you live in the U.S. you will have to start researching about taking PayPal to Small Claims court.
