 Paypal Limited + ID Request
Hey,
I'm sure this same query has come up on here 100 times, but everybody always seems to have some element of the issue that is significant enough that it needs its own answer.
Let me briefly outline the situation:
I have 3 eBay accounts all funding/associated with one Paypal.
A personal account and 2 selling accounts.
I also do a huge amount of Paypal requests.
- Paypal initially contacted me saying I had earned £1650 since January and that I would be required to provide more info and have the £1900 limit lifted. The only effect placed was that I could not close the account.
- Today, Paypal contacted me saying they have no documentation on file and have requested ID and utility bill. The account is now limited and I cannot touch the money in the account (only £18 thankfully).
This Paypal account is linked with my main bank account, the bank account I use for everything basically. I don't mind if i lose this Paypal as it's been one I've had for 7 years, and I would rather have separate accounts (both Paypal accounts and bank accounts) for business and personal.
As this is a personal account, I am extremely reluctant to provide Paypal with any personal information. Where do I stand if I choose not to send ID/address details? Does the account just become barred? Will the money eventually become accessible?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks for reading!
