This is ridiculous, I've been using PayPal for years and now I'm suddenly banned. Today I tried converting my personal account into a business account so I could connect it to receive payments from my Shopify store. I had an issue with PayPal withholding my funds due to the email address on my Shopify store and PayPal being different. So I changed my primary email address on my PayPal account to the same one as my Shopify store. I got an email saying that the pending Shopify payment would be processed, (I fixed the on hold payment issue with PayPal for my store) All was good, I managed to fix this issue and then I checked my email about an hour later receiving this message: "You can no longer do business with PayPal". It said I was banned, I don't understand what I did wrong. Phoned them and talked to a girl on the phone, she said I have to find a different payment processer to use and that I'm banned for lifetime. No explanation whatsoever, I asked if I could talk to someone high up in management and she said there was none. This is ridiculous, can't even make a new account. My only explanation is I'm a new business and still trying to setup everything, so maybe there's missing information that they need or something there? At least give me a valid reason this is stupid.
