After a review, we decided to permanently limit your account as we found potential risk associated with it.

As a result, we can no longer offer PayPal services to you.

Any bank or credit card information that’s linked to your PayPal account cannot be removed nor can it be added to another account. You can still log in and see your account information but you can’t send or receive money.

If you have funds in your PayPal balance, it will be held for up to 180 days. After that, we’ll email you with information on how to access your funds.

i am beyond pissed wtf!?

That is absolutely absurd. I don’t blame any level of frustration you have. I can’t think of any reason for them to hold your money that long. They probably do this to a million people and collect interest from an account that they hold it hostage in.

The vendor must be flagged or something, generally you don’t want to send crypto directly to vendors from accounts you care about. Better to send to a wallet first and then send to vendor.

Yah same thing can happen, there are specific instances documented of people sending crypto to offshore gambling sites with cash app and getting their accounts banned so they have a history of similar behavior

Thank you.

So is this vendors fault...? Would this have happened had I not used crypto? Will there be an investigation? Like how far can this go? My overweight chimp is gonna be pissed.

Thank you.

If you look up how often pp does this it's really the only way to get it lifted.
