An associate of mine recently got their account Permanently Limited just for using the word "Gamble" in an item they were selling even though their business has nothing to do with gambling. PayPal limited the account without knowing the details of the product that was purchased(it does not fall under the legal definition of gambling or PayPal's definition of gambling).
What is the best way to contact PayPal with the needed information to prove their "investigation" on the account did not actually look into the item being sold and see it was unrelated to gambling and/or betting?
We used term "Gamble" to grab the attention of the purchaser, not to reflect the item being purchased, and has been since been changed to better reflect the name of the item. We have also had the item in question being sold since October of last year and PayPal had no problems until we were reported by a competitor selling the same items we are, using a different name.
