About 5 months ago, i traveled to Indonesia and currently still here. 2 weeks before my flight, i contacted paypal and let them know i would be traveling and they made my account for international use. Upon arrival, paypal closed my account supposedly due to suspicious activity (logged in with ip address from Indonesia) and they have put my money on hold. It is impossible to reach customer service via call, message and chat. Everytime i try, it says "all agents are offline. Try again later," my funds are still being held almost 6 months later. As i mentioned, i am still currently traveling and really in need of my funds. What can i do?

Sadly there is no such thing as an international account as paypal is country specific.
You can sometimes use your paypal account internationally but its not recommended as Paypals auto-security may detect its being used in another country than it belongs to and limit it.
Contact options for Paypal are accessed by clicking help/contact bottom left of Paypal pages so try one of these?
1. Paypal phones when available (you can use the guest option if you can't log in).
2. Live chat is also randomly available.
3. You can send them a message, during business hours you may also be able to message whilst logged out.
Or
4. Have you considered contacting Customer Service via Facebook or Twitter?
You can send them a personal message from their Facebook or Twitter pages.
It's: https://www.facebook.com/PayPal and @AskPayPal for Twitter.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.

I have tried every single way possible to contact them. I have sent over 10 emails just in the past 5 months. Not one single reply. I have tried facebook a month ago. Nothing.
