I received an email starting I violated PayPal’s terms and they are suspending my account. When I called them they couldn’t tell me anything. I’ve had my account for 15 years and when I read the terms of violations I have NOT committed any of them.

Paypal don't give reasons but unfortunately they also don't ban you for no reason. What would be the point? They make money whilst you are using a paypal account so to ban you means you won't do that anymore.
Can be for something simple like too many disputes / accepting friends/family payments for sales or anything similar.

"Paypal don't give reasons but unfortunately they also don't ban you for no reason."
Apparently they do, since I've the same issue as the OP. A long-term account with zero issues suddenly suspended. I also note I did NOT get an email, which makes me wonder if it's a system error. Unfortunately trying to contact anyone to resolve it appears near-impossible.
Also, since they don't give reasons, how would you know?

If its a permanent ban then normally you do receive an email AND it shows when you try to log into your paypal account as you only get the message to say you have been banned.
If you haven't received anything then why do you think you have been banned?
Also what use would it be knowing 'why' if you can't do anything about it.

Well I want to know why because they may have incorrect information about me. Maybe someone hacked my account. I’ve used them for 10 years and had one dispute 5 years ago.
