Friend pays me back money

[Pota420]

I had a friend that owed me $5,000 that I had given them in cash and the only way he was able to repay me with through his credit card. So he sent the money to me I transferred that to my bank and took the money out. Now PayPal wants a bunch of information like a receipt, which was never made up. PayPal restricted my account. What can I do about this.

Write a letter explaining the situation, pdf it and upload it to the case or call PayPal customer service to explain. It is a large amount and PayPal wants to know why you received that amount because maybe there was no note on the payment describing properly what the payment is for.

To contact customer service for assistance:

Log on, click HELP on top menu, scroll down to click CONTACT US, and then scroll down to click CALL US.

Call early, during business hours, west coast time to try to get a US rep.
