Paypal keeps holding my funds for 180 days

I’m frustrated with PayPal holding my funds for 180 days. It doesn’t make sense to wait so long, especially since they take the money from my balance when there’s a dispute. Why can’t they release the funds sooner?

They hold funds to protect against fraud and chargebacks. Why are your funds being held? Usually, it’s a security measure.

eBay does something similar. They’ll hold funds for months without a clear reason if you ask them.
