Hypothetical question

I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

PayPal limited my account permanently. I've been dealing with this for about 9 weeks now and the situation isn't improving just saying.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $4,674. I have tried contacting customer support 2 times with no resolution.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Caveat: I'm not your lawyer and this isn't legal advice lol

Following this thread — I could have written this post myself. Same exact problem.

Illustrative response

Update: filed in small claims court last week. Total cost was $75 filing fee + $20 for service by the sheriff. Small claims is designed for self-representation, but attorney review can help where facts, damages, documentation, or statutory penalties are disputed. The defendant (a major corporation) has to send a representative to appear in person. Most of the time they'd rather settle than send someone to small claims court over a few thousand dollars.
