    Thats bad man :(
    Paypal seems to befacing alot of problems lately. I doubt they will reply you soon enough as they still have to reply to the emails regarding the withdrawel limit.

    Best of luck for recovering your acc.

    Regards,
    Kulwinder.

    where did you get those funds from?
    Source of funds?
    Where did you make payments?
    Was it a verified account?

    If you wait for them to contact you it will take a minimum of one week and that is ONLY for them to tell you what they need from you. From then on, it would take another couple of weeks to sort things out UNLESS:

    1) You need to call them and ask to speak with "esclations", I believe.

    2) Do not bother talking to the first person that you reach on the phone they will not be able to unblock accounts, only the esclations department can so insist on talking to them.

    3) When you ask to speak with esclations they will only patch you through if you tell them that you have attempted to resolve this and it is your third time (or more) calling in.

    I used to get the run around all of the time.. I had over three accounts blocked/restricted/closed for no reason other than high transactions, country code being different than my IP (I do business with BOA in the States but live in Canada, etc).. each time I managed to get my account unblocked quickly but only after developing this "process" that took me MANY attempts to get right..

    If you need more help after trying this PM me.. I can help you get it sorted out.

    I dont recommend calling to get an account unbanned, as you NEED to word and think of what you need to say before you reply, if you say the wrong thing, your basically screwed. Email gives you more vital thinking time.

    Rob,

    Email will only generate the same static response. I have dealt with Paypal on a regular basis since they opened up shop. They made me a world seller the first month my account was used, and despite having generated over 3.4 million with Paypal, there were still times when someone would come along and restrict my account. It took this process to get it done quickly, and email wasn't working, at least the last time that happened to me a year ago.
