My paypal account got permanently limited when a friend tried to send me large amount of money for a long-term service (full game creation). My normal transactions is just about 20-100 dollars because they are usually just for small tasks, but paypal banned me without even appealing what the money my friend sent me is for. I hope someone can help and guide me lift the limits of my account.
You can rarely appeal a permanent ban but if you want to try an appeal then contact customer services.
They 'may' pass it to the back office but the chances of the appeal being successful are slim. Paypal state that the decision is not made lightly and once made is usually final.
