I got this message when I am not selling any services or materials that are sexually oriented.
After a review of your account activity, we’ve determined that you’re in violation of PayPal's acceptable use policy. Specifically, the sale of sexually oriented materials or services. As a result, your account has been permanently limited and you won’t be able to conduct any further business using PayPal. This is permitted under the Paypal User Agreement sections Restricted Activities and Actions We May Take. You must remove all references to PayPal from your website(s) and/or auction(s), including removing PayPal as a payment option, the PayPal logo, and the PayPal shopping cart.
Any bank or credit card information linked to your PayPal account cannot be removed nor can it be used to create a new account. You can still log in and see your account information but you can’t send or receive funds.If you have funds in a PayPal balance, we’ll hold it for up to 180 days. These funds may be used to satisfy any obligations you may have under the , including potential liabilities to third parties and to PayPal for each violation of the Acceptable Use Policy, including liquidated damages. After that period, we’ll email you with information on how to access any remaining funds.
If there are chargebacks that result in your account balance falling below zero, you will need to settle the amount owed to PayPal to avoid further action.
Customers who are permanently limited for violating are not permitted to use PayPal services and are not permitted to open new or additional PayPal accounts
