Hello all, sorry we have to be discussing this in the first place.  I swear, every single paypal transaction has become so laborsome and quite honestly, unbearable.  I have already closed my business account because of this and now, will be closing my personal account once I regain access TO MY **bleep** MONEY.   I received a direct deposit from a consultancy I was contracted to provide services to one of their clients, same one i received 2 weeks ago, similar to what I received in April, and again in March.  BUT NOW, that is not w/in my typical pattern.  I have had very little work since the covid crap started back in Feb 2020.  I provide all the required documentation and explanations to their unwarranted actions.  Now being told I'll have to wait 5 business days before I can access those funds.  $14,417 is being held hostage by PayPal (Oppressive Overlords of my dang money).   Apparently it's impossible to get a phone call w/ the Back Office Review Team, which must be someone behind the curtain like I swear I'm living in Oz.   I would gladly sign on to any class action lawsuit for all the undo, unwarranted, erroneous, and/or illegal actions they've taken keeping me from my money (here in the US we call that THEFT!).   I can honestly say this is nothing short of evil and I do hate them for it.  And I don't use the world hate often, nor lightly.     Christopher [removed] [removed] ...
