PayPal ID verification... Again.

Well today I have even more PP problems, which really sucks.

I have been doing a new JV recently with an online-service type thing, all the funds coming into my account, which is fine, but the service takes around 2 weeks to complete (Clearly stated on the site, etc.) but a lot of people have been filing "unauthorised payment" or simply asking for a refund way before the 14 days, because they're impatient little gits that can not wait.


Anyway, after every refund request (Even though they were in the wrong) I always refunded them in full right away (To protect my PayPal), but when I went to withdraw £100 the other day, they limited my account.

The strange thing is that, I have already verified my address, ID, card, etc. but this time they are asking for information that I cannot provide:



As you can see, they are asking me to provide business info, provide delivery proof, and provide invoices, which I cannot do because it is an online service! When i tried to email them, their service auto-responded with a bunch of BS that didn't answer anything.

So, here are my questions to you guys:

Why was my account limited? I've already verified my ID like 10 months ago, had hundreds of payments, and always refunded people right away!

What should I do, seeing as I cannot send the details when it's online goods?

call them

Get in touch with @secondeye, maybe he can help you.

Anti Money Laundering Measures...
It's not only an 'online service' it's an online business and as such you need a business permit which paypal has to ask you for, else they are helping you to evade tax or support money laundering.

Whenever you are receiving large amount of funds without having proper business and residential info, this happens. Once you give all those documents it should easy sailing after that. Those documents can be fake too but should look convincing.

My account is personal though?

With the number of transactions and amounts you receive they can assume that you are running a business. I don't know in what country you live, but you are probably already violating laws.
I guess you are not reporting anything of the income for tax (since it's personal) but that's not how the world works... else everyone would say that they don't run a business but just something personal.

It's not up to you to decide when your business becomes a business because it is a business already. This has nothing to do with how your account on paypal is labeled.

I love you kid, but you're screwed.

@hasa1015 I would also like to advise you to ignore the above comment because faking documents can make everything even worse for you and make you end up in jail for faking official documents.
@Sristy I think you shouldn't offer this kind of advice to someone who doesn't even know the basics of how to run a business, it can seriously backfire at him since he is clearly not running a fake/stealth-account here but one with his real information.

That is the exact reason why it is limited. They expect you to run a business account when you are actually doing business. My personal experience, had to do that switch 8 years back when mine was limited. I made a phone call to them and after 8 long minutes of arguing with various customer care executives I managed to speak to a manager and I was able to convince him the business model that I am running. He just said in the end that you need to upgrade your account to business account, which I did and send them some local firm registration papers, my personal ID issued by government, few credit card statements that which was linked in PayPal, few of my bank statements which was also linked in PayPal, tax ID, mobile as well as landline telephone bills and few more documents which I don't remember now. It took them couple of days before the limit was lifted and since then never had to look back.

@MonsterMag idea was not to give him wrong inputs. Looked like he wanted a quick fix, else he would have moved to a business account long back before starting to take in revenue in large numbers.

Looks like I'm fucked then.

All the Info there is legit, but I'm not 18. Can they track my age with my NIN?

Out of curiosity, when do you turn 18?

But what is the problem in earning money if you are below 18 ? Is it illegal to do that in your country.

For PayPal, you have to be 18, I told them I was 26 and got Secondeye to change the DOB.

Wasn't meant as critic of the provided information in general, just in this case because he clearly doesn't know what he's up to

You should of added a card to the paypal account encase this ever happen .

This is so all the cash can be withdrawn .

Unfortunately you have to wait the 21 days , like said above your fuxxkwd unless you go the blackhat way ,and get a exp paypal expert user fake docs ,but can lead to bad carma ,if it all goes wrong ,as advised above.

Maybe you should of went ghost of buy steth accounts as you got good earnings from the start...

It a very sad shame really, as you was doing good ....

Just had a call with Paypal, boy they are stupid.

I was trying to explain to her that I sell virtual items, and that they cost me nothing, therefore I have no invoices, she thought that I was selling PayPal accounts haha.

All I need to do apparently is send them a word document explaining this, hopefully it works.

That what it been about then , they fort you was selling there accounts that makes sence of your whole problam.

Yes write a good letter And dont forget to grovel about there fantastic system and your customers love paypal over other money gateways.

Ass licking helps lol (( with this problam))

This is one liitle guide how to solve Pay Pal disputes or Verification of your Pay Pal.
They have rights to terminate your account if they think the PP is to risky to be used according their TOS.
As I see they intentionaly trow you a lot of conditions to give up from account and to not maked negative feedback.
Must call them.
If dont want to waste you PP call them ASAP.
Try to explain them your situation in full and that you have proofs about this.
Ask them to send you email what proofs to send them according your situation.
If they agree then you are go and solve this fast.
If dont succeed please again call about 2-3 days again.
Try again to explain your situation as previous time.
Tell them that previous agent from support told you that your situation will be solved and will be informed trough email.
If this again dont go well wait 1 week and call again and repeat the steps above.
From 3 times there is chance to get over with agent that will help you reinstate the account.
The % of success is on your side as client but if this not go well then leave this account and start with new one using Stealth Rules.
