Dear PayPal community,
Currently my account is "permanently limited" due to selling clothing. Here's my question this happened over a year ago, I was told 180 days until Id get an email with instructions to get my money. Although I've never received this "email". That being said what is my best course of action here as I'm sure a plethora of people have dealt with this. In addition, has there been any legal actions taken towards PayPal due to this happen to so many people?

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.
