Re : Problem with money transfer from PayPal account to bank account ( Transaction ID # - ) Date : - -, 2016 This is to report the problem with money being transferred from PayPal account ( linked with email -- ) to bank account on - -, 2016. I transferred the amount of - $4800.00 to bank account from PayPal account and the transferred funds are still not available to this date. After several inquiries from PayPal 's customer service, they fail to provide any specific details about : Why the money is still not available?, When it will become available? or Where the money is right now? Following is the summary of events and conversations with PayPal customer service to date, - - -, 2016 - US $3500.00 transferred by my brother - -, resident of Maryland USA, to my PayPal account - Transaction ID # - - - -, 2016 - US $3400.00 is being converted to CDN $4800.00 and transferred to bank account associated with PayPal account. Transaction status ( still ) appears as " Completed '' on PayPal account - Transaction ID # - - After waiting for - working days for the funds to


working days from the date of initial money transfer. - I called again on - -, 2016, after - working days, and was informed that a trace is being initiated and I will hear back from PayPal within - hours. - After not receiving any information or money, I called back on - -, 2016 and come to know after spending about - hours that no trace is being started on - -, as they were waiting for bank statement showing all transactions from - - till - - and that they already notified me about this, which is not exactly accurate, since the notification was in reply to my email on - - and no such requirement was emphasized during the conversation on - -. Anyways, I uploaded the statement copy on - -. - I called again on - -, 2016, and after again spending close to two hours and talking with - different peoples come to know that the withdrawal trace come back with the message that the money would be made available either in the PayPal account or bank account as quickly as possible and that initiating any further trace is useless. They are not able or willing to provide any specific information regarding when this money will be available, what happened to the money, where it is or why this has happened. The above explained situation leaves me, in my opinion, with no option but to report it to concerned authorities. Please note that I burrowed this money from my brother in emergency to make some outstanding payments and this unexpected problem with the money transfer has financially and emotionally impacted me very badly, therefore, I would not be wrong in expecting to receive compensation along with the immediate return of the original amount. Please do not hesitate to contact me, if you have any queries or concerns. Please let me know if I need to report this matter to any other office or regulatory body. Thank you.
