How long Paypal taking these days to verify docs....

[Ebayorbust]

There is always the possibility that they are changing their policy and are now only reviewing documents when the account passes £1650.

They are spouting some cr@p about the electronic check system not working properly for many weeks causing every account set up to be asked for documents. I just can't see how this can turn a 4 week wait into 11 weeks and counting. Are there really that many UK accounts being set up on a daily basis?

This was post EU notification though.

It isn't affecting accounts that have passed £1650.

Agreed, more likely a policy change coming. A cull on their staffing numbers most probably.

[Baffled]

So does this generally mean once you hit the £1650 mark they are being reviewed within days??

[Ebayorbust]

Correct. Most are reviewed in 48 to 72 hours.

I've had a genuine set of docs waiting 10 days and it's VERY close to being limited for going over. Been getting the warning for past 2 weeks that i've received over £1650.

Maybe its not £1650 then but when you hit the restriction

[richie2065]

8 weeks and counting

[Baffled]

8 weeks from being over £1650?

Don't think it's anything to do with the £1650 if that's the case, more like once you actually hit the restriction mark.

[Callidus]

Days of limits lifted accounts could be over, unless you hit £1650 then it will be lifted as long as all is in order - I will put it out there early on. At least I can say 'I told you so..'

[Bunneh]

Thought as much.. no more limits lifted accounts 😑

Guess paypal want to check what we selling before lifting limits lol...

[Callidus]

It would explain that cull that happened after the split and most of the accounts looked like it was due to what was being sold.

The kids on this forum are going to be well gutted no more selling their 'branded' gear knobs!

[Baffled]

I would assume the prices on accounts will generally become cheaper then?

Certainly not on packages with the EU limit lifted no

[rsot]

Never can expect prices to go down

[Baffled]

What I ment was I only buy verified paypal accounts with EU limits lifted, I'm pretty sure i'm not the only one who buys accounts like these, so accounts that don't meet this criteria are actually pointless for me and im sure that applies to others too.

So what I was trying to say is prices on accounts with no EU limits lifted will most likely have to drop significantly because who's going to want them? I know i won't.

Guys going through this thread has opened my eyes a bit, I did start another thread today about my experience! My account has been limited forever and I think its because of the docs. However the most surprising part is I received a email in the morning to say the docs I sent have been verified and ok. Then few hours later BOM! Account limited 180 days etc. No appeals
