For the first time I filed a case with PayPal for an item not received after 6 weeks. (had to rush to meet the 45 day deadline!) One week later, in the absence of an answer from the seller, I escalated the case to a claim. Before yesterday I routinely withdrew some excess money from my account. Today I found out that said transfer was declared PENDING, with a note: Your account has open issues. Only option: click to resolve or check status. Status reads: Being reviewed by PayPal.
Question: Why am I prevented to withdraw MY hard earned money after filing a claim against a seller? Besides, the remaining balance is more that the value ($200) of the item not received!
Any advise of how long this may take? Is this PayPal's normal procedure?
