That is unfortunate. You're probably not the first person this has happened to and won't be the last so it may be possible to file a class action lawsuit against PayPal for closing legitimate accounts and not providing a reason. If this is happening on a large enough scale then there is a business opportunity here by using DeFi techniques to make a decentralized remittance network.

I'm not sure if there are PayPal brokers but it's probably possible to use a blockchain to verify fund transfers and keep track of trusted and untrusted brokers. You might also just be able to create a volunteer network. I don't use my PayPal account for much anyway and wouldn't mind being a broker if there were instructions for what to do.
