If your account has been limited then you have to wait 180 days before you can withdraw the funds.

This is the same time schedule that buyers have to open Paypal disputes, so Paypal hold the funds in case they need to use them to refund your buyers in the event of a dispute being raised.

Hello, what do you mean refund? I dont think they should have a refund. Look, paypal is giving me so much problem. I need my money asap. My uncles has sent me that for my enrollment.

Can you please help me to get out of limitations

[Venus24]

Is there anything I can do to get my money? And send it to other paypal account? So that I can just get it?

If they have limited your account and held those funds then sadly no.

[Venus24]

Why is that so? 😭

No one here is holding anything.

However..........

Paypal holds your funds for 180 days as that is the same timeframe that buyers have to open paypal disputes.
So if no disputes are opened against you in 180 days then you are allowed to withdraw the funds as long as you are over 18, the account is in your legal name and registered in the country where you reside. Sometimes Paypal request further documentation from you before you can withdraw those funds.
