How do I allow a staff member to understand me?

Hi There,   My PayPal account is currently limited, and I do not mind that as I no longer wish to use PayPal's services. However, a buyer is asking for a refund and I am wanting to process this refund.   The email sent to me from PayPal saying that my account was limited, also had a section about refunds: ----------------------------------- Disbursement options ----------------------------------- Option 1. If you owe refunds to any of your buyers, you can use the money in your PayPal account to refund them. To refund your buyers: 1. Log in to your PayPal account. 2. Click "Contact Us" at the bottom of any page. 3. Click "Contact Customer Service." 4. Under "Choose a Topic," select "Sending/Receiving Money." 5. Under "Choose a Subtopic," select "Refund/Cancel a Payment." 6. Click "Continue" and follow the instructions to refund payments.     I contacted PayPal following those steps, however since the payment from the buyer was in pending status, I was unable to refund them.  However, the representitive by the name of Yee Fei stated that if I wanted to withdraw money to my bank account I have to wait 180 days.   I DO NOT WANT TO WITHDRAW MONEY TO MY BANK ACCOUNT.  I wish to REFUND one of my buyers, however need PayPal support to do it for me as the transaction is still pending>   How do I get Yee Fei to actually understand what I am saying?  Can anyone help possibly with my wording of this as I seriously do not know how to explain it to Yee Fei so that (s)he can actually understand what I am saying??   ...

PayPal personal - claiming it's business?

Hello, I have a PayPal account which is personal account.  My friend and I are working on a project together, and she agreed to send me some money as a friend.   I used the 'request money' function, and sent the request money option and she paid.  However, since I did that, PayPal is claming that my account is for 'selling' and I thus have to meet the seller criteria, which includes: - 5 successful transactions not having any disputes - Being a PayPal member for 30 days.   As a result of this, my funds are also being held.   I'm not planning on selling anything using this account, so I'm wondering why I have these restrictions in place?   Thanks! ...
