Activity: 0% Longevity: 27% | | PayPal says I MUST have Photo ID in order to withdraw
around 150 days prior to this, a PayPal employee told me, if I leave the account in the current state (No bank added, no ID added, literally just an empty account with money on it) I will be able to withdraw in 180 days.
And now they hit me with this, that I need to prove it's me. Obviously it's a stealth account, so I can't provide an ID. What do I do?
Thanks

They’ve started doing this with some 180 day limited accounts recently. It’s no longer a guarantee that you can withdraw your funds after the 180 days
Only thing you can do is provide them what they are asking for

I've heard people who were in a similar situation (they couldnt get their money after 180 days) and they kind of 'threatened' paypal with the law and etc etc in a long email, and paypal got scared and gave them the ability to withdraw.
Pretty sure I should be able to get my money in 180 days, without me needing to provide anything, no?

It can be very tricky to get money out of paypal if they feel you are not who you say you are. I have $2995 in one and just this past March was able to get funds from 2015 limitations on multiple accounts.

NORMALLY you can withdraw funds after 180 days. They send you an email saying you can withdraw the vast majority of the time. As long as you have a bank account attached, once you receive the email, you log in and withdraw.
I believe most of us was assuming that the 180 days was already up and you were having problems. That is mostly when you dont have a bank account attached that you will run into this issue.
I would try to add a bank account now. You will need one on sooner or later anyways.

I have read in the past that while in the USA, PayPal 'must' release funds after 180 days, they don't have to in other parts of the world. Not sure if rumor or true.

Doesnt sound too good lol. Do people buy limited pp accounts with money in them? i'm kinda lost here, lol, it hasn't even been 180 days but I've already lost hope
