So I filed a dispute about a charge I didn’t make and was even able to get a supervisor from PayPal to call me on the phone which I am gathering is nearly impossible to do now post-Covid 19, 2020. I was still on the phone with the agent and then I got a message saying that my account was permanently limited blah blah blah. The supervisor on the phone didn’t get it and neither did the one I was on chat with they said they would call me back after figuring out what happened. I sent a lot of messages over the next 2 weeks and the responses I was getting were clearly directed to a business account. I have a personal account. I received notifications for all of the messages that were sent back to me but the messages were never in my messages center. None of the previous messages between PayPal and I were either. This made me feel like a mistake had been made and my account was somehow mixed up with another account belonging to a business. The messages I got were for them and they were getting mine. Finally I got this response in my PayPal messages: Dear Jennifer <removed>, Thank you for contacting PayPal with your concern. We have received your appeal and, upon its review, your limited account access has been restored. We apologize for any inconvenience that you have experienced.

Sincerely, PayPal Account Review Department PayPal However it doesn’t give me the option to request a one time password and although I get further when I call than I used to it eventually just tells me that due to covid 19 and limited staff PayPal phone support is closed. How did I talk to PayPal because my once limited account is still not functional and I need to find out how all of this has effected my disputes we filed before this all started They total several thousand dollars. In post covid America I am sure anyone would be concerned this mistake could effect my dispute or the possibility of my funds not being returned to me
