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

PayPal limited my account permanently. I've been dealing with this for about 8 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $49,660. I have tried contacting their legal department 5 times with no resolution.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably the EFTA, which requires showing timely disputed.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

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

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

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.
