I'm new to PayPal. I was just trying to raise some extra funds for a trip to Disneyland. So my daughter began selling off a few of her unwanted items. We'd only sold three items and made £54, which was in a pending balance for 21 days. But I logged in yesterday to discover I can't use PayPal anymore. My funds have been withheld for 180 days! That's outrageous! I have tried calling PayPal for an explanation, but but it's just an automated reply and they do not call back despite having left my number. It's really frustrating. I have sent out the parcels, so providing tracking numbers, all customers received with no issues. I was only selling unwanted clothes on Facebook market place. We fly to Disneyland in 8 days and I can't access my daughters spending money as greedy PayPal are withholding it for no good reason. Really upset right now. I just wish I had sold my items by bank transfer payments rather than nasty PayPal.

Try phoning again but its unlikely they will give you a reason, they rarely do.
When you get through either don't say anything until you get put through OR say agent a few times.
That sometimes works in getting you through more quickly.

Paypal don't want to limit accounts, they lose money by doing so.
They make their money by you using a paypal account and either buying from sellers that pay a fee or you pay a fee as a seller yourself.
So you must have violated their policy quite badly for it to be a permanent ban. If it was something simple they would just ask you to go to the resolution centre to resolve any issues.
Have you had a paypal account before that had issues on it or someone under the same IP address has?
Or do you have more than 2 paypal accounts of the same type etc?

Give your daughter the money and pay yourself back when 180 days are up.
