Ok so I know a bit about this as I had the same exact thing happen to me in the past.
The reason this probably happened is that their business was getting a high % of chargebacks from paying customers, paypal is not a specialist payment provider that wants to handle what they consider high-risk business like that, so they block your account and hold your funds for 180 days and during that time keep processing chargebacks.
After the 180 days, Paypal will give you the remainder of the money back, so the title is clickbait, they will get back their money.
The best thing to do if you operate a business which gets a lot of chargebacks is to find a payment processor that is okay with that, when I had this issue I ended up looking at which payment processors porn sites used and picked one of them, which had no problems. That was a long time ago, so I'm sure there's more options now.
