My Account was also limited 3 months ago due to sending money that I owed to a family member. I sent in all the relevant documents that they asked for - and so did my family member. Instead of dealing with our questions and helping us when we asked what needed to be done, they just closed 3 accounts and are holding £9,000 for what they tell me is in case of charge-backs. I don't have anyone who can make any charge-backs, because I have never sold anything. We are over 90 days in and trying to get paypal to budge or send a real response, is like pulling hens teeth. Instead of helping to sort things out when we asked, they also reversed money that I sent to the family member, who had already withdrawn the amount to their bank account, so now they have a minus balance and won't budge on bringing it back to 0.00 until paypal sort the mess that was created by them, unnecessarily. Things have gotten so bad, that I have applied to the courts and also contacted a national news paper who are willing to help. Last night - I felt so low because of one of their response emails, I actually contemplated suicide - and emailed paypal to let them know just how I was feeling - I won't go into the ins and outs of that, but suffice to say, I had a police man knocking on my door this morning asking me if I need help. I explained things to him - and that in the end, I had realised that I am not and never have been a weak person, but paypal had made me feel so low because I have bills to pay etc, for that brief moment, I couldn't see any other option or way out. Whilst I still feel very low, because of paypal and how they are treating me and other people, I am going to continue with the court case and hopefully make it public via the press. I really feel that it is time that paypal were regulated - and (stupidly) I thought that ending things would maybe open peoples eyes and let them see just what paypal are doing to people, but seem to constantly get away with it. I am not a high lord hand-waver, or anyone important, but where I can I am going to fight these b******s, they shouldn't be allowed to make people feel like this - and neither should we be reading in other forums that paypal have caused people to lose their business or home Paypal should have independent people dealing with their appeals and should be regulated according to British law if they are trading in this country.
