How may times have your accounts been limited/delimited?

[triple filtered]

It seems my accounts are forever being limited and restored?

2 business and one personal. All accounts have been linked. (Comfirmed in paypal emails)

They are all legit accounts so always have the info needed. I always keep the tracking info for stuff I sell. But they keep limiting the accounts frequently, ask8ng for the same info over and over again.

Supplier info
Tracking for last 5 transactions
Confirm bank account
Sales projections

My accoumts probably get limited 5 times a year then reinstated.
One was limited in november, further limited in december because I never sent the info. The reinstated last week after I submitted the info.
Another was limited because it was linked with the previously limited account, then reinstated same day

Is this normal?

5 times a year then reinstated?!? How are you getting them reinstated regularly - calls?

Submitting the info in the resolution center

seems a bit much. Is it 5 times a year between the 3 accounts or is it 5 times a year on each account. on my power account, the account i do the majority of transactions on, i get limits like that about once a year or every other year. this has been going on for years. they ask for documents similiar to what you wrote, they review them and then I am good to go for at least a year. One time I was talking to a customer service rep about the limitation and he told me that once they review the documents and lift the limit my account is good to go without another review for a while (whatever that means).

Have you ever gotten perma-limited, then reinstated again?

I've gotten an old account reinstated once..

It was real old account that they said was closed with no chance of recovering but so much time had past that I think they forgot what history was on the acc and just asked for a copy of my ID

More time past, more money was made


Then I got limited again..

A lot depends on the level of activity and what is being sold - @OP, doesn't feel so normal to me - I have been limited on occasion and been reinstated - most on one account has been 3 times and been reinstated by calling in but this was a few years back, about 2013.

Ive never needed to call. Always emailed.
Currently have 3 accounts, all business accounts, 2 with working capital loans on them.
All accounts are in daily use, all linked.

what i have found with some of my recent limitation/delimitations is due to repeated sending of money to certain accounts. I would have to explain why and what the payments were for. probably aroused their money laundering team because i think a majority of people use paypal to pay for stuff bought online, so the same person get paid maybe once or twice, but if you keep sending money to the same account weekly or a few times a month for long periods of time, they wonder what it is for.

But even when I go to the bank in the USA to do a wire transfer i get asked all sorts of anti-money laundering questions like who is the recipient, why are you sending the money, etc. If I don't answer it they won't send the money. Even when I go to the bank to transfer money for my trading accounts/brokerage accounts they still ask the questions and they even look at me like why am I wiring money to a broker? I am just like "well, that's how its done."

Happened to me 2 times, both on different accounts. One of them after providing them with proof and everything they never gave it back and decided to not work with me, and this new one is going through same thing and I don't know if I should submit documents or just move on to a new account.
