I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

PayPal limited my account permanently. I've been dealing with this for about 13 months now and teh situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $31,756. I have tried contacting customer support 8 times with no resolution.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I've dealt with this before.

A lot of people mess up by is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

Not gonna lie, I put off calling an attorney for weeks. Wish I hadn't waited.

I got my PayPal account unlocked after filing with the state attorney general. Took about 3 weeks. They take financial services complaints seriously.
