How long does paypal take to release my money?

My daughter had her phone stolen her friends that live overseas wanted to replace it as a surprise. They asked me to open a paypal account so they could all chip in and help replace her phone. We raised the 800 dollars needed for the new iPhone that she wanted. However when I went to buy the phone and my paypal account was limited. They have since made me fill out a mission statement and again confirm my identity. I am now waiting for the results I’ve called them twice and emailed them all to no avail. If they close my account i will refund all money back and work out another way for her friends to do this for her..i thought paypal was meant to be simple and easy its been a huge nightmare. If I had known then what I know now about paypal I would certainly not used them. Does any one know how long I am going to have to wait for the money to be released?
