The reasons you THINK that limited your account may not be what actually did.
As I understand it, you diddn't have this issue before until this week, but what else may have changed other than the mifi hotspot user?
Did you do anything out of the ordinary? Any recent disputes/claims/refunds?

What is the nature of the limitation (impact) and what are they requesting?

What Cikog wrote above is largely correct.
Very often PayPal will limit once a given transaction volume is reached than ask for those items if they don't already have them.
Give them what they are requesting and you should be good to go assuming there are no other issues on the account.

Make listings with low quantity and you can use auction too. Don't rush things and make slow sales with "used" cheap, low risk items.

Like eBay, PayPal doesn't apply their rules consistently, nor evenly.
I've sometimes been able to literally push thousands of $ through a new PP that's less than 30 days old with no request/limitation. On the other hand, I'll have an account get hit with the invoice/ID request with less than $50 in sales selling the SAME items as the first account.

I've gotten so used to the ID/invoice requests for PP, I actually expect them and don't fear them because I consider them normal. In fact, once the account has ID on file, I found it's much stronger than an account that never received a limitation before.

On some of my accounts i'm selling items the same value as you, then I get carried away and sell too many and boom, the pp is limited(we have noticed a significant change in your selling activity...blah waffle)
What I do is list low quantity and keep relisting, also don't put free shipping that way customers are less likely to order more than one.
You also need to build up as much FB on the Ebay as possible, and if your paypal account is aged with payments received some time ago then all the better.
Also, of course, have plenty of stealth accounts so when one goes down, you are pissed off, but immediately start selling on the other

OK, so this is entering the holiday season, not just PP, but other platforms are having difficulties as well.
The good news is it's a lot easier to diversify with Paypal and eBay.
One thing to do to test if it's your MIFI is use your regular home IP (that's unused of course) on a back up account, just that 1 account and do as you did and see if it gets the same treatment.

Could be because the run up to Christmas, extra strict criteria to make sure people's presents turn up.
If accounts worth saving then send ID, otherwise slow and steady, maybe 2 x $15 items a day for first week, 4 x second week, etc.

EDIT - nevermind, it's gone. Basically there is tons of Paypal fraud on the darknet and PP is loosing bookoo bucks on it.
