It's not unusual for Paypal to limit the accounts of seller that suddenly start receiving a lot of money in their account. We went through this on our business account a few years ago. They wanted proof of identity, proof we owned or had control of the merchandise we were selling and proof of delivery to our most recent customers. We faxed all the documentation in and our account was restored in less than a week.

Log into your Paypal account, click on the Resolution Center link and see if there is a list of documentation they want from you besides proof of delivery. Send it too them and wait for the items to be delivered - then start calling Paypal daily until they restore your account.

This is totally normal because your feedback is just a little over 100....i went through the same things until i received my 150th feedback, now they don't give me as many problems. Also, whenever you sell alot of one item, they do this to protect the buyers, to make sure they are not fake.
