Paypal: "Limited Account Access"

Apparently, Paypal believes that my account was accessed by an unauthorized third party. I can receive money, but I can't take any out. Anyone else had this happen to them? I submitted the information they required on Monday morning, and still no response. Says it should take 3 business days to resolve.
Can anyone help?

<< <i>You're sure this wasn't a phishing scam? Sounds like it. Was an e-mail addressed to you specifically, and not "Dear PayPal User?" If the latter, change your password ASAP...if it's not too late. >>
No, I log into paypal and the screen comes up. Didn't respond to an email.

They limited my account once, right after the first time I transferred more than $10K out of it. I provided the information requested, and the restriction was lifted a few hours later.
Edit: I see Ziggy covered the phishing question while I was typing.

Yep, that's it Russ. I wish it was a few hours... But it's been since Monday.

Of course not. Because banks aren't monopolies. A monopoly like eBay has the ability to buy PayPal and turn it into a monopoly, too. And then, watch the service suck and the fees skyrocket.
Usually, they do not even tell the customer
what the problem was; they just send an
email, "sorry for any inconvenience," and
turn the account back on.
My regular merchant account - through a bank -
can do exactly the same thing; they just never
do.
PayPal is the biggest net-earner in the EvilBAY empire.
Bad conduct is to be expected.

I wonder if they're having difficulty verifying your information for some reason? Another consideration might be the length of time you've had the account and historical volume. I've had mine for quite a while and, even though an over $10K withdrawal triggers the IRS crap, it was not all that out of the ordinary based on my volume.

I've had it for a little over a year, and $170 was placed in it then it was frozen.
