I recently opened my store and all was going well until PayPal restricted my
account for "suspicious activity." I submitted all the documentation they requested,
and now I'm banned from PayPal with no explanation. I can't receive payments
(fortunately I was able to set up Stripe and keep my store open). I'm also,
however, not allowed to buy with PayPal anymore, which prevents me from ordering
from any seller here on BL that doesn't have Stripe connected.

Has anyone else experienced this, and do you know of any solutions?

Try calling them to speak to a real person.
Hopefully just a misunderstanding

I just got off the phone with them, and the customer service representative was
pretty understanding. He submitted an appeal for me, so hopefully the fraud team
listens to reason...
