You have obviously raised some flags with Paypal, the following scenarios could be the reason why this happened.
1) A high priced item sold in ebay, funds received in Paypal, then you withdraw the entire balance. Flag raised and PP account limited.
2) Paypal have a system where they determine risk. You have done something or a series of things which has gone over the risk threshold and sunsequently PP is now limited.
3) You withdrew the entire balance leaving 0, or you have had several withdrawels close together.
Its difficult to know exactly wihout knowing your complete history with PP but the bottom line is that they have a "hair trigger" when it comes to risk and they have chosen to stamp on you.
Some scammers sell goods on ebay they dont have and then withdraw the funds from PP. The PP system is excellent for stopping this, the trouble is that all legitimate sellers get stung by this aswell.
Future tips:
1) Think like PP, if you think something you do could potentially be suspicious or deemed suspicious dont do it
2) Alway leave an amount in your Paypal account. I always leave about £200 credit, this will be a buffer if there are any disputes so the balance will not go into a negative, which will raise flags.
(N.B Some users disagree with leaving any amount in PP as if they do limit your account you cant get that money for 180 days. I dont disagree with these users at all, its a fair point. This is what this forum is all about, discussing options and methods. But my current position is that if you leave an amount in Paypal then you are less likely to raise flags, and less likely to experience limitations = a Paypal account that survives longer)
3) Ensure you use stealth when logging into Paypal. Ensure that you dont log in to two or more Paypal accounts in the same Windows user account. If you do the chances of linking are high, and if one Paypal account experiences a limitation the chances of the other suffering the same fate is much higher.
