Default Paypal asks for proof of identity and proof of address

Hi friends,
I need your help.
After a while (not sure for how long I had this ebay and paypal stealth account) paypal is asking me proof address and proof of identity. Otherwise there will be (or maybe there are already) limits in the account.
I know that your answer would be "You just need to use some creativity". Unfortunately I wouldn't know how to do this.
I would really appreciate that.

Unfortunately no one can help you with this in the forum.

If you received a PM offering a service / help, be weary, those most likely are scams and you should report them to the moderators.

Really? I thought there were plenty of people experienced in this.
So what do I have to do? Leave it all and start a new stealth account?

I'd start a new stealth... you should already have back ups regardless.

WHenever PP asks for these things, it's usually to hold it against you.
But you got nothing to lose , so give them whatever they want. You just have to make it yourself since no one in the forum can make you one.

If you suggest me to start a new stealth, then you basically need to start a new stealth every year...or almost?

What about users here selling already verified accounts, which means that that particular procedure has already been taken care of?

I simply run 30-50 accounts and never had to stop nor ever asked for docs.

Sounds like you put all your eggs into this one account? That's never a good idea.

I'm not a very big seller, that's why I only used one.

How come they never asked you for documents?

And why is paypal asking me for documents? Isn't that a normal procedure?

Not it's not normal. Something must have flagged them. I'm not sure what the UK limits are but I'm sure someone from England can tell us.

When you consider yourself not a big seller, about how many items or money goes through it per month?

Also did you get an influx of disputes / charge backs on PP / eBay?

10-20 items per months.

No disputes/ charge backs....very little returns in the history of my account.

One mistake I did once, was that when entering the account instead of putting the right password I mistakenly put the password of another paypal account (connected with a limited ebay account). Obviously the password was not accepted and then I put the right one and it was fine.

Or maybe once I accidentally used for seconds (before I realised) the same wifi I use for the other paypal account (connected with the limited ebay account).

I'm not sure about the password. But the one time off IP shouldn't link you.

Not really practical to for most people to run that many accounts.

Getting past Paypal docs check is important at some point.

you most likley hit the eu limit which is 1800. there is no point in sending them ⊗⊗⊗⊗ docs since they match them with their database. there are many sites offering to make you docs but 99% the docs will not work. make a new paypal either on a real person or do not reach 2,5k EUR

Not at all.
Just general junk bought from car boot sales. Clothing, vintage electronics. Nothing high end.
