Funding Paypal using my bank account...
Hello forum,
I want to open up a Paypal account with my real info and add a bank account to pay for Christmas stuff. Now, I tried to do this a while back. And I failed miserably. I signed up for Paypal, verified my email and everything. I added my savings bank account and verified within 3 days. All good until I added funds from the bank. The process went smoothly right up to the point where the transaction was finished. I got the email saying the money was now in my Paypal balance but 5 minutes later I get another email saying my account has been limited. Now, what did I do wrong?! I have been reading this website for over a year now and I feel like I know my way around Paypal. I manage 4 other stealth accounts and they're still in good standing. *
So I called Paypal and got to talking with a representative saying that they needed more information like my bank statement, picture ID, etc. and if I didn't provide that info they were gonna hold my newly transferred money for 180 days! Wow. That account was strictly for buying and Paypal limits me! So, my question is: if I were to create a new Paypal, add my bank account, verify the basic stuff, and instead of funding my account, can I just pay directly with my bank? What reason would Paypal have to limit my account?
