Paypal closed my account but are working hard “to minimise any disruption” WTF??

Set up a new eBay shop, Verified with paypal and eBay all my information (Legit). Applied for an Australian ABN number with a Business Bank Account. Jumping through numerous loops to get it all activated.

Upon selling my very first item on eBay and receiving funds from my buyer I headed over to paypal to check if the funds had been cleared to come across a notice saying our paypal account had been limited. We had to jump through hoops before we could get it back online. So as an honest dealer. I sent my item to the value off 314.00 to the customer, I used DHL shipping with tracking. I sent paypal the Invoice for the Item, Tracking Numbers, Shipping Method, My Suppliers contact information in which i purchased the item from originally.

Next thing i know. After numerous calls, Trying to sort this out so i could operate my newly created business I get an eMail from paypal stating PayPal appeal denied‏:

Hello (Business Name),

For the safety and security of the PayPal network, we often review accounts
for potential risks. After reviewing your account, we have decided to
close it because of security issues.

We are making every effort to minimise any disruption to your business.

If your PayPal account balance is zero, and you have no unresolved buyer
complaints or chargebacks, your account will remain limited.

The account is closed down with limitation on removing my money for 180 days.
First time business owner on eBay trying to make an honest living. Working extremely hard to please my customers with spot on customer service.

Just like Apple. I will gladly be happy to say wave good bye to paypal for this. But i need to find out how to sell online without using paypal.

    It’s disgusting isn’t it how paypal make you dance to their fiddle and then throw you in the fire. But you don’t have to use paypal to sell on eBay at least not in the Us you should look into options for Australian ebay users, I am not to familiar with that part of the world but apparently paypal screws users equally around the world.
