I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

PayPal limited my account permanently. I've been dealing with this for about 9 weeks now and the situation isn't improving just saying.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $4,674. I have tried contacting customer support 2 times with no resolution.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Caveat: I'm not your lawyer and this isn't legal advice lol

I spent way more time googling than I should have before just calling a lawyer.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

Following this thread — I could have written this post myself. Same exact problem.

Update: filed in small claims court last week. Total cost was $75 filing fee + $20 for service by the sheriff. No attorney needed. The defendant (a major corporation) has to send a representative to appear in person. Most of the time they'd rather settle than send someone to small claims court over a few thousand dollars.

One thing that worked for me: I found the email address for someone in their legal or compliance department (LinkedIn is useful for this) and sent a concise, professional demand. Got a response within 3 days.
