PayPal froze my account during a sale — how did you get your funds released?

Sold an item through PayPal and right after the payment landed, my account was limited. I followed all the steps they asked for—uploaded ID, tracking, everything—but the funds are still locked and I can’t send or withdraw. Tried messaging support twice but only got automated replies. Anyone dealt with this before and actually got their balance released? What finally got a response?

Hey all, my account got hit with the same kind of hold right after a digital sale, even though the buyer confirmed receipt. I skimmed through recent paypal reviews and noticed a bunch of similar stories, some saying that repeated follow-ups with the same case number finally got a human reply. I added a short explanation to the resolution center each day, just keeping it clear and polite. A few days later, someone stepped in, reviewed the info again, and removed the limitation. Took a bit of patience, but consistency seemed to help move it forward.

Just wanted to say mad thanks for the solid advice. Saved me a bunch of time and frustration.
