PayPal froze your new LLC account with money inside. Here's the 48-hour fix. PayPal flags new LLCs automatically in 2026. Upload three documents within 24 hours, not one.
You need your articles of organization, EIN confirmation letter, and operating agreement. Most people send only the articles. PayPal rejects that and extends the freeze 21 days. We're Bastion Formations, an LLC formation service for Wyoming.
If your PayPal account is frozen, we include all three documents in our $249 package. Call PayPal at 1-888-221-1161 after uploading and say I uploaded all LLC formation documents including EIN and operating agreement. Please escalate for manual review. That phrase triggers priority protocol.
