Hello All,
Our business account is blocked permanently. We didn't do anything wrong. We provide consulting services. We received below message:
After a review, we've decided to permanently limit your account due to potential risk. You’ll not be able to conduct any further business using PayPal.
How can we remove the blocking? Can someone please help us? We can't even appeal because there's no Appeal link.
Thanks.

Everyone who posts on here about being limited always says that they had broken no rules. However Paypal do not ban you for 0 reason. What would be the point? They make far more money from you using your Paypal account than interest on any held money.
PayPal does review accounts regularly, and any concerns with security, violations of the User Agreement or Acceptable Use Agreement, compliance obligations, etc., could lead to a permanent restriction. Additional information beyond what would have been provided to you in a notification and/or email would not be available due also to security concerns and due to such information being proprietary....in other words they do not give you an exact reason, they just direct you to the user agreement or acceptable use policy. I guess having a reason wouldn't make any difference if they have permanently banned you.
You can certainly contact them to appeal however.............
