I've seen people have this problem, but no one has solved for me after spending hours on the phone with Customer Service.
They restricted my account in January, with all funds in cryptocurrency. I could not and can not sell the crypto as the account is limited. The 180 day period expired, but no one in multiple levels of Customer Service has been able to help me sell my crypto or retrieve my funds. This is not a small account, for me anyway, it is over $2500 being held past the 180 days. I did learn after the reps insisting my balance was zero, that they can't even see an account's crypto balance without jumping through some hoops.
I'd appreciate any help in another contact avenue to pursue. I just want my money returned.

I'm having the exact same problem but with a bigger balance !! I just don't know how to get out of this dilemma, I have phoned them a million times and each time i get a different answer. The last response was that when they (Paypal) sell the crypto then they will allow me to cash out!!! So when are you going to sell the crypto paypal??????
