My account was suspended for allegedly violating PayPal terms of service. At no time were any of the activities listed as prohibited conducted. At no time were there any illegal activities using Paypal. Been using Paypal for over a decade with issues. How do you appeal this kind of account suspension?

Hi @HelpMePlease25,
Thank you for your post in the Community Forum and welcome! I am sure that this situation has been frustrating and inconvenient for you, and I am sorry that you're having that experience. Account limitation is never a great experience, and when it seems incorrect, it's worse.
While PayPal does not take the act of permanent limitation lightly, mistakes can happen. If you believe that one has been made, you can reach out to Customer Service to request a second look by a teammate. If that second look has already been conducted and the decision was upheld, it would be final at that time.
To find your contact options, click Contact at the bottom of the PayPal website. Alternatively, you can reach out by PM on Facebook or DM on Twitter.
I hope this can be resolved quickly for you!
Olivia
