Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
On several occasions I have bought different types of cryptocurrency from pay pal. Some of the time I am able to buy crypto and send it to an external wallet immediately after purchase without problem. But there have been several occasions when I could not send my crypto to any external wallet even when my account is in good standing with no limitations and it is a valid crypto address Im sending to. I receive and error message stating there was a problem and trying to send again may fix this problem. But when this happens it can last for days and even weeks and in that time my money is subject to the volatility of the crypto market if I choose to leave it in crypto or I am forced to pay PayPal a fee to sell. When I inform customer service of this problem Im told it is a security measure put in place to protect my account even though the error message I receive is stating its a problem and even siting what may fix the problem. Several times I have been forced to sell my crypto to be able to pay merchants or send to any external wallet and have never had any issues when I am selling it only when trying to send it. Each time I have to sell PayPal charges a XXXX $ fee. I feel like if I need to buy and send crypto paypal can force me to have to pay their fees by refusing to send it. So Im having to pay fees to buy them. pay fees to sell them and pay fees again to buy on another platform just to be able to send money. When I ask customer service to check into why Im unable to send the crypto Ive bought, Im told I to just sell my crypto and try again. This happened most recently on XX/XX/XXXX I bought XXXX $ of XXXX for XXXX and was forced to sell when when all my attempts to send failed eventually selling for XXXX and agin on XX/XX/XXXX again buying XXXX $ for XXXX and forced to sell for XXXX. These are not isolated incidents. I have had this happen with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and others. Other first time I encountered this problem I was unsure if was only XXXX  so I tried a couple different times also trying on the website vs the app and all in all that day I racked up over XXXX $ in fees alone from PayPal and finally just gave up amd I was never able to send any of it. I informed customer service again who said they werent liable for any fees I incurred as this was a security measure put into place for my protection. Ive informed them several times and never get any other explanation other than it is a security measure and they are not responsible. I dont understand that if its a security measure, why I would get an error message stating that there was a problem and trying again may fix the problem. I am not the only person that has had to deal with this as I have found many complaints from others about this on PayPals website alone.
