and gain access to Unban My Account—our tool that composes ban appeal letters for you and speeds up their processing. This way, you can appeal your suspension in a fraction of the time it would take you to do it the traditional way—through PayPal’s support page.
PayPal Locked Account—Potential Reasons
In case your PayPal account is suspended, check your email inbox for a message from the company that explains why this happened.
The reasons that PayPal’s explanation email may list are following:
- Regulatory requirements—in case you requested a product, such as a debit card, your account may get limited until this request gets fulfilled (as required by law)
- Violation of the Acceptable Use Policy—if you are using your account for trading illegal items (such as firearms or prescription medication)
- Suspicion of unauthorized use—your account will be suspended to protect your funds if PayPal:
- Believes your account is being used without your authorization
- Receives a message from your bank that there have been unauthorized transfers between your PayPal and bank account
- Gets a notification from your credit/debit card issuer that your card has been used without your authorization
- Higher-risk sales activity—if you are a merchant and your activity includes:
- A large number of claims and chargebacks
- A sudden and complete change in the type of products you sell (high-cost items)
- An unusual and rapid increase in sales volume
- Inactive account—if you haven’t used your account after you've opened it
How Do I Unlock My PayPal Account?
If your PayPal account is suspended, these limitations can be appealed through the platform’s Resolution Center, and here’s how:
- Go to the PayPal Homepage
- Scroll down to the website’s footer to find the link for Help and Contact and tap it
- Click the Resolution Center link
- Select Go to Account Limitations
- Go through each listed step and click Resolve
It may happen that the details you provide aren’t sufficient. In this case, you’ll receive a request for additional information via email from the PayPal support team. You should reply to this email as soon as possible before they close your support ticket.
Your account may remain locked for some time even after you’ve responded to each of their requests. If this issue goes on for a while, there are two opinions:
- Check your email for additional information requests from the PayPal support team
- Wait a bit longer since they may still be examining your case
