I am sure it won't happen like this should it be a regular bank, at least the bank will give you a reason and give you solutions. I am too one of the victims here, not knowing exactly what went wrong, did everything being asked, but still, locked out of my own account, found out today not only I cannot withdraw my money,  I cannot even receive money anymore.   Is there a day to expect when the limitation is over so that I can get my money back and never have to deal with Paypal anymore?   Did anyone try to talk to a lawyer and find out how this could happen?   I am not quite sure who Paypal is trying to protect here, I thought Paypal is trying to protect the account owner, us in this case, not sure of that anymore because Paypal does not even try to talk to us. The last time  I was on the phone with Paypal on this issue I was told I would get a resolution via snail mail (still wondering why Paypal wants to slow this down as much as they can). The mail I finally got is not a solution or resolution but a legal statement that if I don't agree I can go through the court. The hell, Paypal has lawyers on duty whose sole job is to deal with this while we, the average person, do not. Still wondering, how could this happen in the US, and how could it be legal? ...
