Since 2020 PayPal has had my money and permanently limited my account. I’ve explained to them over and over again that the money was loaned to me and my now deceased babysdad and I’ve had to make payments back to the guy putting me in debt along with homeless. I’ve gone as far as calling the BBB they STILLL wont release it to me!!! Any ideas? Suggestions? Ways to get my money??

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.

However you have to wait until you receive the Paypal email citing you are now eligible to withdraw those funds. If you have not had the email then you are not for some reason eligible.

Sometimes they confiscate funds if you have violated their acceptable use policy.
Unfortunately only customer services can help you with this issue unless you want to seek legal advice?
