Pretty much the title. Today I received an email from paypal saying that my paypal account was banned because " we detected that this account that this account was engaged in activity to deceive PayPal and its customers. " It says "You'll not be able to conduct any further business using PayPal. Based on this decision, if applicable, you are no longer eligible for PayPal Seller Protection as per our User Agreement. This will apply to all existing and future cases you receive." I thought it was a phishing attempt at first but still decided to log in to my account separately and it was true. I am at loss. I have no idea why it happened. There is no reason provided and no steps listed that I might take to find out what's going on. It's just basically "you're permanently banned, sorry for the inconvenience it might have caused". The only activity I had on this account within the last year or so was me receiving money from my friend back home for the purchase of something that isn't being sold in that country. I live in Canada, friend lives in Europe. He asked me to buy an item that is not being sold there as its American made. I bought it, shipped it to a friend, he paid for the item. All went well. A month after this my account is banned, but I don't know if that was the cause or how can it be the cause, or what else is the cause.
