Link a bank acc of yours to your PayPal acc and your monet will be withdrawn into it

@Kenadee 

Firstly you are answering a post over a year old.

Secondly that poster you are replying to is in Kenya and the option to add or withdraw to a local bank account is not available in their country.

@Rebecca_020- 

Did you read my post a few up from yours?

Hello, my PayPal account has been blocked permanently. I was told that I can withdraw the money after 180 days. 180 days have passed, but when I try to withdraw I get an error. What should I do? Who can help me?

If you have been told your Paypal account has been permanently limited then Paypal tends to hold any funds for 180 days. This is the same time frame that buyers have to open Paypal disputes.

If no disputes are opened in 180 days then normally you are allowed to withdraw the funds. That is as long as you are over 18, account is in your legal name and the account is registered in the country where you reside.

Sometimes they confiscate funds under this policy.

Paypal also may request further documentation from you before you can withdraw those funds.

Contact options for Paypal are accessed by clicking help/contact bottom left of Paypal pages...

1. Paypal phones (you can use the guest option if you can't log in).
2. Live chat is also randomly available.
3. You can send them a message, during business hours you may also be able to message whilst logged out.
Or
4. Have you considered contacting Customer Service via Facebook or Twitter?
You can send them a personal message from their Facebook or Twitter pages.
It's: https://www.facebook.com/PayPal and @AskPayPal for Twitter.

HOWEVER..........

In Kenya the normal withdrawal options available to you of MPESA or Equity Bank are not available after a permanent limitation. The only option still available when Paypal tell you that you can withdraw your funds is via a U.S bank account if you have one.
If you don't then you would need to contact customer services to help you access the funds from your permanently limited account.
