How do I make PayPal understand that I'm not a seller?

My money sent from a friend for an emergency bus ticket when stranded out of town was made unavailable. They keep assuming I'm a damn seller and my friend was a customer. I need that money! Help please

Its down to how the payment was SENT to your account.

1. If they sent using money > goods / services option then paypal would see you as a seller and apply the new seller hold. They would also charge you a fee.

2. If they had sent using the send money > family / friends option then you would have had the payment instantly. (However that option is not available in every country).
