My account has been permanently restricted and I have a amount in my paypal account which I am no longer able to withdraw. They asked me for the verification in the first and i provided them the whole information and they said my account has been approved and now suddenly they restricted my account and I don't know the reason. I am very worried about it I need this amount and I am already in debt and now they are not allowing me to withdraw this amount.

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.

Sometimes they confiscate funds if you have violated their acceptable use policy.

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

You can rarely appeal a permanent ban but if you want to try an appeal then contact customer services.

They 'may' pass it to the back office but the chances of the appeal being successful are slim. Paypal state that the decision is not made lightly and once made is usually final.

Hi, I want to ask you that I am a student and the money that was in my account was not only mine it wass $2,240. I am just a student I started a work just to support my education expense and my family expense and I am in really debts if they don't allow me to withdraw that money it will be really hard situation for me and my family because supplier is asking for the money which I owe them and If I am not able to pay them I am really thinking to do a suicide because I don't have any other option to manage this lose. I haven't received any warning for any thing suddenly they just restricted my account and I am requesting them to allow me to withdraw otherwise I don't have any option other than suicide. I am just crying and praying if they allow me to withdraw this money I am telling them to please understand my condition.
