Payment Processor Issue — PayPal limited my account permanently

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.

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 send a written demand. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have Regulation E years for this type of claim.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's attorney general? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing 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'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.
