Personal and Business accounts got limited because of a silly mistake
 

The story is quite long, but I'll try to make it as short as it can.

In late 2017, I decided to start selling on eBay so I created a business account on both eBay AND PayPal.

Recently (maybe 2 months ago), I came to the conclusion that I should sell personal and business items separately, so I also created personal accounts on both platforms.

A couple of days ago, both of my PayPal accounts got limited simultaneously. I tried to contact customer support, but they would only say that I broke the user agreements without actually giving me a reason/explanation.

However, the person on the phone did mention a 3rd account and then it clicked.
I had a personal account on PayPal about 2-3 years ago, that I only used for online purchases.
I completely forgot to close the first personal account before opening the new one...

Is there anything I can do to prove that this was all a silly mistake? (e.g. the history of transactions on the first account)
I stopped using the first personal account back when i opened the business account in 2017.

Any sort of help would be appreciated!

Keep calling and explaining to different agents until one of them restores your privileges. It's not stealth accounts so they should eventually listen to you. Good luck.
