Paypal and ebay account permanently limited.

Hi all,
This is a long story

Back in November 2011 i had my paypal account limited because i started selling a lot of items and withdrawing around £1000 a month compared to the usual £100-£200 a month which i had been doing for the last 3 years.

Anyway this must have flagged up paypals alarms and my account was limited, i didn't owe any money i wasn't in the red the account was good standing with £300 in there. (at least this is what i imagine the reason i was banned for ?)

I called paypal and appealed and my case was declined.

So i contacted ebay , they tell me to call paypal because they are the people putting a limit on my paypal which automatically limits my ebay.

I have emailed paypal many times and i get the response to give them a call.

Over the last year i have called them on and off around 10 times and i always get a person who will not discuss why i have been limited and just say my appeal was declined and i can never use ebay or paypal again in my life!

I just wondered if anybody had any tips , i was reading somewhere to just keep calling until you get the right person but ive never been that lucky!

Ive called them and basically given them the whole story but they will come back with "there is nothing i can do your appeal was declined"


Just wondered if anybody had had a similar experiences or knew what i can do next?

Thanks
