it happens because of third party compliance its not a big issue if compliance or audit take place.
i think blockchain is better its fees high but it is better.

Try to find a temporary solution and the meanwhile build your own service.

Found the company info: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001806785/000180678520000002/xslFormDX01/primary_doc.xml

Updating this for the record, as this topic is now live on Google AdWords.

Their zendesk support team responded with the following message:

I don’t find the “we can’t tell you when we will do this” part acceptable. They might as well have said, “we will hold your funds until whenever we feel like it”.

I normally wouldn’t overreact like this, but after extensive research, most people who have never seen their frozen funds again received the same type of emails. And they’re contradicting themselves, as in my user panel it says that we’ve been terminated due to TOS violation, yet the email said this is a standard review procedure. Besides, Paxful outsources all their verification procedures to third parties, who have successfully verified us during the signup process. In short, they’re lying.
