Dear,

Your PayPal account has been limited because we've noticed significant changes in your account activity. As your payment processor, we need to understand these changes better.

What does this mean?

This account limitation will affect your ability to:

*send money
*withdraw money

Additionally, you cannot:

*remove any bank accounts
*remove credit cards
*close your account

What to do next

Please log in to your PayPal account and visit the Resolution Center before December 14, 2016 to provide the requested information. If we don't receive this information before December 14, 2016 or we notice additional significant changes in your account activity, your account access may be further limited.

Once we receive and review your documentation, we will email you regarding the status of your account.

We appreciate your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

PayPal

they limited you because significant activity changes, which means that there has been a change in your normal selling patterns.

This can be caused by many factors, some are a spike in sales, an increase in the average sale per item, different products, etc...

Dont sell anymore on the account before getting the limitation lifted if you are unable to withdraw money. If the limitation is not lifted than you will need to wait 180 days
