Wanted to follow up in case anyone ran into this annoying issue to say that my case was FINALLY resolved and it mostly required some angry yelling on the customer service phone line.

My friend sent me a large sum of money for a security deposit via the Friends & Family option last month and the amount has been held indefinitely. I've called PayPal and they told me the case was "escalated" - that was over 2 weeks ago. Since it was sent via the gift option, there should be no valid reason to hold the funds - what can I do to get this amount either released or cancelled altogether so that I can find an alternative payment option? ...
