This exact same thing happened to me, though I was thankfully allowed to withdraw my money and open a new account with the same bank details.
Call your local PayPal support hotline and explain to them what happened, I was immediately escalated to higher level support who had me provide details of why the money was in my account, which they verified and then unlocked the withdrawal and bank accounts. Still had to make a new account, but that's a small price to pay!
- iDemonix 9y agoI was tempted to call, but I just managed to refund the money (sans fees) to my friend and we'll use something else now. I'm not going to call or contact them at all, I'm no longer interested in using their services. I'm just going to unlink my account from everything and spread some well-deserved hate within a useful PSA.
