Well it would help if we know what you were limited for. I got permanently limited last year for exceeding the annual money receiving limit.
I just wrote a sad email telling them that I'm medically unable to work or go to school and that I picked up graphic design (explains all the transactions of various amounts) to keep me busy and help with medical bills. They unlimited me after that.
Also I'm pretty sure you can withdraw money from a limited paypal. I got the option to withdraw my funds after 90 days I think.
