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.
 
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.
 
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).
 
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!
 
They probably have access restrictions for different levels. Which is why she was unable to look into your account. Ask for someone who can.
 
Ask the support to escalate the matter and talk directly with higher authorities.
Well if you have a genuine reason, you can threaten them with legal actions in the worst case. That's what I did when they had limited my account and the next day VOILA my account was un-suspended and back to normal. Anyway good luck.
 
or create an account at netspend.com and use it to unlimit your account they provide you with an bank account and a credit card. this is how i removed my limitations in a similar situation
 
The thing which I never understand with PayPal is that they allow charge back for up to 45days only, while they hold money for 180 days & said they hold it for charge back.

Is it fair?
 
It has to do with CC processing and CC company requirements/guidelines is what I have been told by their Reps when I asked the same question about refund time frame versus funds limitation time.
 
Generally you would have to wait for 180 days before you can receive it back. However, after a certain time period after the 180 days, if the account is inactive they do partially close the account which means you cannot remove those funds. I would suggest ringing them up, telling them what you've done etc. It's possible you might find someone helpful on the phone who will work on your case efficiently.
