I am a long-time non-commercial paypal user and have recently sold some stuff on eBay. Coincidentally, some of my recent sales have gone to eBay buyers overseas. Evidently PayPal's algo flagged my activity as suspicious and imposed a "limitation" on my account so that I became swiftly unable to access all the funds from my recent sales. I followed all the steps asked of me, including uploading a picture of my drivers license. I am NOT happy about this from a privacy standpoint, but I want do to what is needed to transfer my funds out and then, in all likelihood, cancel my PayPal account permanently. Still no progress in getting this resolved. In the meantime, I have literally NO WAY to contact anybody at Paypal. I have had a "chat" open for > 24 hours and have gotten NO RESPONSE from PayPal. What a disgrace - pandemic or no pandemic, who thinks it is fair for a company to restrict access to funds based on an algorithm and ZERO personal contact??!! I am shocked and irate at this practice.
