Specifically: 1. Inadequate Notice: PayPal failed to provide specific reasons for the limitation, denying me meaningful opportunity to address alleged concerns. 2. Excessive Hold Period: Holding $[Amount] for 180 días without pending disputes, chargebacks, or legitimate claims exceeds any reasonable business interest and constitutes conversion of my funds. 3. Procedural Unfairness: PayPal's internal appeals process is inadequate, with [describe your experience: no response, form denials, inability to speak with decision-makers]. [If applicable] PayPal's reclamación that I violated the Acceptable Use Policy is incorrect.
