PayPal dispute after 180 days

[LauraS21]

I received a PayPal dispute today from an item I sold in May 2021. PayPal took a hold amount for the item. Surely this should have been rejected as it is well past the 180 limit to raise a dispute. I no longer have the posting details due to the length of time it has taken. I am currently closing my business so I am worried that this can happen again 2 years in the future when I no longer operate and I’m left in debt for no reason. Has anyone had this before?

They can't open a Paypal dispute after 180 days BUT they can do a chargeback via their card issuer after that date if their card issuer allows them.

Paypal will then pass on any info on your behalf to the card company BUT the card company makes any decisions.
