If PayPal took your money under the note “Payment to: Paypal; PayPal’s damages caused by Acceptable Use Policy violation.” this community will help you on how to recover your funds based on previous success stories. Most people who recovered their funds will not disclose anything, because they usually sign a non-disclosure agreement with PayPal as part of the settlement.

You should all know the difference between what is legal and illegal. The PayPal agreement and AUP charges by themselves are legal, but the way PayPal charges sellers AUP damages is not, because they debit random arbitrary amounts to empty the balance to zero. The general legal concept is [liquidated damages](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquidated_damages). They are enforcing this in a way that breaches their own user agreement, which estimated damage costs at $2,500 USD per violation and not per transaction.

Recovering your funds depends on having commitment and taking the proper legal action depending on your country. Free relevant tips are set out on this site: start from the [United States](https://aupdamages.com/us/), [Europe](https://aupdamages.com/europe/), [Singapore](https://aupdamages.com/singapore/) or [local entities](https://aupdamages.com/local-entities/) page, whichever governs your account.

## What are the PayPal AUP?

AUP is the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy: the rules that state what you are allowed to buy and sell. PayPal is allowed to change them at any time.

The PayPal User Agreement provides for liquidated damages of $2,500 US dollars per violation, which may be debited directly from the account.
