Solution: My PayPal account is blocked - what should I do?

PayPal will block your PayPal account if, for example, there have been too many login attempts with an incorrect password or if your account has been in the red for a long time. You can find out how you can unlock it here at OkayGotcha.


My PayPal account has been blocked - what should I do?

  • If your PayPal account is in the red, compensate for this, for example, by transferring the necessary amount to your PayPal account .
  • If there are still open buyer protection applications , you should clarify them now at the latest.
  • PayPal also blocks accounts due to "strange" unspecified behavior. This is the case, for example, if someone has tried to access your account without authorization. Then you should contact PayPal support.
