And there in one post is part of the work around
Nice one.
:juggle:

oh... sorry. (I take 'nice one' to be sarcastic rather than congratulatory) Was thinking aloud.

Update: So I had my PayPal limited last week due to money laundering.

I sent in the required 'stealth documents', yet PayPal threw me the Political relations question + Aust Post verification. I thought this was the end and searched for possible work arounds to no avail.

Then on Sunday night I sent them a polite but forceful email saying that I complied with there original requests providing them documents, answering there politcal questions and the Aust Post verification was ridiculous and a waste of my time. If they had originally required this, they should have said so in the first place. + mentioning my account history, no disputes 100% feedback on eBay etc. I also said I could provide them with any further documents required in necessary via upload.

Today i see an email from PayPal sent at 2:37AM, my account has been fully restored, and apologies for any inconvenience caused.

While I am certainly under no illusion that this may be short lived and the account could be limited/restricted/closed again, it does prove you can beat them with stealth + aust post verification. I have now paid my ebay fees + withdrawn the balance. This whole thing has taught me to increase my "back up" stealth accounts.

A special thanks to Greenbean for the consulting ;)

As I have tried to say, it's a grey area.

But, there are work arounds.

The very best is to NOT PANIC when paypal present these dramas.

:peace:

When in doubt, consult a moderator.

Same thing happened to me my pp account got up to $1001 over night and Limited. So faxed paypal identity and address info. Now i gotta jump through another (maybe impossible) hoop- Please Verify identity/address at local auspost shop.
What do i do now?
lay my pp acc to rest?

My recent account that got limited didn't require this thank god. Besides sending an email like the above, the only other option I can see is maybe getting a Justice of Peace to stamp your ⊗⊗⊗⊗ documents and submit those to Aust Post?
