mmm this happened to me a couple years back (2007 i think), I freaked cause it was my first ever account, I thought I was i trouble big time. I instantly moved all my money out of that account and straight into my bank.
I didn't want to touch the account cause the whole "we need your ID" thing scared me I just made a new account (not using stealth, same IP but different name and bank etc), then I started hauling in some pretty serious cash on the new account and it got banned in about 2 months (not cause I went over $1000, i always made sure i stayed under $700,.
i got banned cause it was 'high risk' activity), I had actually used my first account a couple weeks ago to send $450 dollars into the new account cause I needed money on my paypal and the only the old account had a bank attached to it with $450 in the account, so I used that as a mule to slap some money into my new account. Anyways the new account got limited with $500 in it, so I was able to refund $450 back to myself into the old account.
After that I kinda realized that the whole ID thing wasn't a big deal, it was just kinda there if you are a big business abd going tohave over a 1000 in your account. So i went back to using the old account for a while till it got banned again.
Its a wonder they never got linked, I would log in and out on the same IP with same cookies and all.
But basically you should be right to keep using the account. its just a reminder that if you go over $1000 you could get limited so be prepared sorta.
But just incase you should clean out your account very often, you never know when paypal might limit, so always be prepared, nowdays I like to keep all my accounts under $200.
