Not much early but after 5 months, I sent them several emails and they kept responding 180 days, sent one yesterday saying NEVER had a chargeback, been 5 months without a chargeback, contacting BBB and going to light up Facebook with how they are acting.
Today they released my $800

PP customer services respond more efficiently to seller or buyer queries on Facebook than they do on the phone. I have had immediate results on Facebook chat.
So threatening to light up social media with your issues seems to be a good idea these days. I would like to hear more positive stories of peoples money being released early with the facebook threat.
I never gave Facebook too much effort while I was appealing - all the agents were adamant about not being able to help (though this was for an already banned account). I can imagine them being very helpful with temporary limitations though.
At this time, however, I would bet that the BBB is their main concern. Just look at their current response times to complaints (PayPal on the BBB)... it's precisely 1 month at the moment, which is just awful. A few months ago it was just 1 or 2 days. They're clearly overwhelmed by their growing victims, and the delay will possibly affect their A+ rating.
