Today I got a call from Paypal telling me that my account will be temporarily suspended until I can provide them with some information about some recent sales. They then said I would receive an email with instructions. Here is the email I received:
Hello Adam *****,
We need your help resolving an issue with your account. To give us time to
work together on this, we've temporarily limited what you can do with your
account until the issue is resolved.
We understand it may be frustrating not to have full access to your PayPal
account. We want to work with you to get your account back to normal as
quickly as possible.
What's the problem?
We need some more information about some of your recent sales.
Case ID Number: ********
How you can help
It's usually pretty easy to take care of things like this. Most of the
time, we just need a little more information about your account or latest
transactions.
To help us with this and to find out what you can and can't do with your
account until the issue is resolved, log in to your account and go to the
Resolution Center.
Thanks,
PayPal

I went on Paypal and it is legit not a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ email. So they want me to provide the name of my supplier and invoices for all of my purchases.
The items I have been selling aren't allowed on eBay like Rosetta Stone and P90x and are from China :( if you catch my drift but I do have 100% seller feedback so I am sure it wasn't one of my customers that complained.
I have no idea what to do should I make up a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ company and invoice? I feel like I am screwed but I don't have any experience with this stuff so I was hoping your expertise could help me wiggle out of this one if possible! Also, should I be worried about law enforcement? Can I close my account? I only have $15 in there so not a big loss. This is my personal paypal account and I just recently opened a Premier so I have that one as a back up.
Thanks Adam!
