Help! PayPal is holding my funds hostage

[WandaCarter]

Hello,

I received a sum of money and tried to transfer it into my bank account.  My account was automatically restricted.  I did everything PayPal told me to do to lift the restrictions, but nothing happened.  A CSR told me that I completed everything and that the restrictions would be lifted in 24 hours.  Needless to say, my account is still restricted.  Has anyone dealt with this before?  I am tempted to file a permanent injunction against PayPal to stop them from restricting me from transferring funds into my bank account, especially since I have been a long time customer who has never had an issue with PayPal before.  This does not seem legal, nor ethical.
