My paypal account closed for life

[beammariec2]

Tonight PayPal closed my account for life and will not give me an explanation as to why they closed my account and I have 1,000 dollars in my account I was trying to transfer my money to my account and it kept popping up an error message saying we are unable to transfer your funds right now I tried 5 times and it kept saying the same thing so I called paypal customer service and they told me my account was closed I asked why and they would say due to restrictions or something like that we are unable to provide you with this information and that I couldn't have access to my money for 180 days I can't wait that long I need my money to pay my rent that is already past due so now I'm going to be homeless thanks to paypal this is absolutely ridiculous and unheard of why would you possibly have to hold someone's money for 180 days im so mad and worried I don't know what to do

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.
