What will happen if I don't send in the docs after a month

[Save85]

Hi everyone. Hopefully someone can help me out in understanding what my next steps are.

I have a stealth paypal account that got limited showing me the notification "The account access is temporary limited" and PayPal wants me to send them a photo ID to verify myself. (I got limited because I went a bit too fast in selling my items and received too much payment in a short amount of time.)

It says "if you're unable to submit the required information by July 2, 2020 or if we notice additional changes in your account activity, your access will be further limited. Some information I gathered on the forum was that I can withdraw my money after a 180 days. I already have a bank account attached to make sure I can withdraw and I don't need this paypal anymore once I retrieve the money.

My question is:
1) Since I have a stealth account, I won't be able to provide a real ID. Do i need to submit a edited ID? If i don't provide the ID, what are my next steps?

2) If I don't need to provide the ID, when does the 180 days start? Does it start after the mentioned date after July 2 or do I need to contact Paypal and say I can't provide the doc and that I'd like to just close the account and withdraw the money stuck on it?

1. If you don't provide the ID (or provide an edited ID that doesn't pass), you will likely be able to get the funds in 180 days (there's a possible chance that PP will keep the funds if your account has violated ToS...just saying)

2. 180 days should have started from the temporary limitation.

My answer is:
1) You will have to submit a ID (edited). Normally, your account will restored instantly (for US).

2) If you don't need to provide the ID, the 180 days will start when your account limited. After July 2, Paypal may ask you to provide more documents or closed your accounts.

Thanks for the replies guys!

I checked out the forums for a list of sellers who can provide edited ID's. Some look like they aren't in the business anymore.

Any recommendations? Thanks!

For myself experience. Whenever my US Paypal account got limited and required to upload a photo ID. It will be restored instantly right after I upload a photo ID or took up to 5 mins. Anyone has this kind of limit can contact me for more suggestion.
