I sent my brother a huge amount of funds for building. His account was immediately frozen for 180 days. He has asked if the money could be refunded back to me. So that i can send him via another method. Buy PayPal refuses to do anything. If they suspect him, why don't they return the money to the sender? Deeply gutted. Its not fair at all.

Instead, you have to file dispute and recipient issues a refund from within the dispute as no contest.
- Locate and click payment transaction in your PayPal account activity
- Click "Report a problem"
- Click “I didn't receive an item I purchased”.
Then the question becomes whether PayPal will use that held money for the refund. (If the money was in the available balance as opposed to pending balance because of the PayPal 21 day funds availability hold when the account was limited.)
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
