PayPal really holding my money and all they say is user terms and service every time I have asked never actually being specific about what I did wrong shaking my head. Paypal hopes your reading this as soon as I get my money I'm going to make sure I take my family off this so they don't have to deal with this problem either, I have literally done nothing risky that could affect me or others, I honestly just want my money. please speed up the process if you could because I'm sure if the same happened to you, you'd be most likely complaining aswell because no one would want their OWN money to be held away from them and have zero access to it, thank you.

If you have been told your Paypal account has been permanently limited then Paypal tends to hold any funds for 180 days. This is the same time frame that buyers have to open Paypal disputes.

If no disputes are opened in 180 days then normally you are allowed to withdraw the funds. That is as long as you are over 18, the account is in your legal name and registered in the country where you reside.

Sometimes they confiscate funds under this policy.

Paypal also may request further documentation from you before you can withdraw those funds.
