So I called PayPal and someone actually answered. Couldn't help me, but they were nice.
Here's the email notification sent to me about this situation:
Dear **** *****, During a recent review of your PayPal account the determination was made to apply a reserve to the account as of date. A collateral amount of $50,000.00 has been set aside from your current available balance. The decision regarding your reserves setting was based on the review of the risk exposure inherent to your account (1). A risk review is the evaluation of several factors related to an account, which include but are not limited to transactional activity, customer disputes, type of business, delivery and customer satisfaction time frames. Reserves are funds that belong to you, but are set aside to ensure your account can cover transaction liabilities. You will be notified if your reserve settings are adjusted in the future.

So I wrote a letter. Took me about 15 minutes to compose. I sent it out and instantly got this in my email box:
