In my case, this last time they had asked for my social security number in order to lift the limitation and I refused to give it so my account stays limited.
The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!

^^^^ Not sure exactly what you mean?
My understanding is that paypal limits an account. You attempt to get the limitation removed. Sometimes this is successful, sadly sometimes not.After some time because paypal does nothing overnight,you usually get a' we find your business high risk' or 'we
hate your hair color' and the account becomes permanantly limited. Then that 180 days comes to play. Can not recall an account just having monies limited for 180 days without communication from paypal
Itzabreeze is talking about the email they send you when the 180 day limitation is up. He/She is not referring to the initial limitation process. After 180 days your account is still limited. However, they send you an email letting you know that you can now withdraw the funds. Your account is still limited and you cannot conduct any further business.
I do have a question for people with experience with 180 day limitations...
If you have gone through this and have received the email from ebay alerting you that the funds are available, can you please count the days backwards from the day you receive the email and see if we can work together to pinpoint the exact time the 180 day limitation clock begins? On one of my most recent 180 day lifts I did a count and the actual time between the FIRST limitation and the day they released the funds were actually 173 days. I have another account that should be coming off 180 day limitation in the next 2 weeks sometime. I will count again on that account. I can confirm they don't make you wait 180 days from the last day you received a payment. My last payment received on that account was Aug 3rd and they released my funds sometime in December.
for me i didnt have to wait exactly 180 days on my personal account. the email came in about 2 weeks early.. i guess 180 is probably their approximation

Please add your location and your flag to your account here.
eBay/Paypal rules vari by country.
Go to your "User CP" and list your location.
This helps since eBay/Paypal Rules are different by country.
Thanks

Exactly, after the 180 days I got an e-mail from paypal saying my funds could be withdrawed. I assumed that they would include a note saying basically "we no longer want to do business with you and we are ending our relationship". But, they just said you can withdraw your funds but we will keep your account limited. Does anyone have experience with this happening?.
^^^^^^^
Just withdraw you money after the 180 days is up and write off that Paypal account.
It will be MUCH easier than to ever use it again.
It's already been 180 days and I did get my money out of the account. I understand that the account is pretty much useless/blacklisted, but I kind of find it bizarre that as far as I know everyone is getting these "we no longer want to do business with you" messages once they reach the 180 day mark. I never got this message, paypal just stated my account will continue to be limited tell I guess whenever they want.
I was wondering if anyone else was NOT gotten there account closed after 180 days. Do they just let the limited account sit there forever?.
If Paypal leaves your account open but Limited it counts as a "Open Account" on their books.
If they close your account then it does not count as "Open"
This is how eBay & Paypal can say legally that them have ??? 10 million members... (just a number out of thin air)
You account will probably stay limited and sit there until hell freezes over.

Another one of my accounts just came off of 180 day hold. It was initially frozen July 24th, 2008 and they finally let me have my money January 16, 2009. It was a few days short of 180 days actaully.
you can't lift it. When it says your account is closed, it means that you've been banned from eBay. I had this happen to me 2 weeks ago. What I did was refund all of my ebay transactions and emailed my buyers to pay me on a different paypal account I had. That way Paypal was only holding maybe $50 for 6 months instead of $900 for 6 months, no interest for them.
wot about if you have already sent the items, and the paypal money isnt pending but is in your balanced, i guess your screwed then ??
some people said they have been able to get paypal to release some of the funds (i havent seen this recently though to be honest) ... otherwise, just get a calendar and start the countdown

You can talk them out of the 180 days sometimes. I had an account shut down about 2 weeks ago and I was told there was no appeal and I had to wait 180 days. After I called Paypal and spoke to them at length, they told me they would release the funds to me 21 days after the suspension was over if I didn't have any complaints on file. I have a little over a week to go. I will update this later.

Well so for now, i have to wait 180 days for them to release my £300, well thats 1 bank account gone to waste, since this has happened, am not going to pay my ebay fees lol, thats £500 saved :D
Believe it or not, I was able to get paypal to release $8,200 of the 15K they were holding. About 30 days into my "lockdown", I was able to plead my way to getting $3200, then 30 days later I was able to get another 5K. They are still holding quite a bit though...but will see what happens in the next 30 days. I see no reason to hold the money longer than 90 days, since most banks in the UNITED STATES will not do chargebacks after 90 days. I'll update you all with that...my 90 day mark is coming soon.
