US Paypal blocked after 3 years of 50-100k incoming transfers

[mrbrush]

I am a non US citizen, i have a US LLC and i use US Business Paypal. After a year of using paypal, paypal asked for personal address verification via electricity bill or telephone bill, where i uploaded a statement of my personal US bank account. ( i am not sure if i was lucky because there was no option to use bank statement, i just tried it and they accpted it)

My dropshipping business relies heavily on Paypal, 66% of incoming transfers are via Paypal, as we operate in some countries where people just trust Paypal the most.
There was 50-100K of incoming transactions per month in last 3 years.
We were winning most cases and there was around 10 cases per month in last 6 months. Now Paypal closed the account without warming.

1. Can i open a new Paypal US account under my name, a new US LLC, new EIN but the same ITIN(as its connected to me), new address for business, new personal address?

2. Or should i find an internationl friend do it under his name, get him an ITIN, but than still how to do the personal address verification for him?

What reason did PayPal give for closing the account?

You can no longer do business with PayPal

After a review, we decided to permanently limit your account as we found potential risk associated with it.

You'll not be able to conduct any further business using PayPal.

Based on this decision, if applicable, you are no longer eligible for PayPal Seller Protection as per our User Agreement. You'll also be charged a High Volume Dispute fee based on your activity for all existing and future cases you receive.

Any bank or credit card information that's linked to your PayPal account cannot be removed nor can it be added to another account. You can still log in and see your account information but you can't send or receive money.

If you have funds in your PayPal balance, we'll hold it for up to 180 days. After that period, we'll email you with information on how to access your funds.

We regret any inconvenience this may cause.

When this happened to me a long time ago, I withdrew my money from all the accounts linked to Paypal and closed my bank accounts.
Paypal and their lawyers sued me. I counter-sued and demanded trial by jury! On the day of the trial, Paypal settled with me, paid me all my attorney fees, gave me all my money back, and paid me some damages (negligent amount).
I had already lined up +2 dozen other people who had their lives destroyed by Paypal as my witnesses. There is NO way Paypal is going to face a trial by jury. Obviously, I signed settlement agreements where I can't discuss or badmouth Paypal.

I now do have a Paypal account, but only as a user to purchase things online.

There are a lot of articles condemning Paypal. Here is one from 2015: Why you should never, ever use Paypal

Interesting. I had a similar problem - has anyone been able to find a solution?

In 2015, I joined a Paypal "victim" group on FB and that led me to a darkweb group. It was between these two that I found a few solutiona. One of the solutions was to find a list of disbarred lawyers (I'm not joking). Vet them to find the one specialist you need, of course. Have him steer the licensed lawyers and make sure I didn't get overbilled by the licensed lawyers. Worked like a charm. I did lose my FB account when FB asked for ID verification in 2021 so I abandoned the account. I'm simply going here from what I had written down in my diary.

Good luck!

PS. I've dealt with disbarred lawyers since then to access their network. They can't represent us, but they can write letters and deal with other attorneys as billing gatekeepers on our behalf. I've found them to be extremely honest and they think completely outside the box. It's like they are redpilled!
