180 Days passed and Paypal still asking for Documents

[Stealth4]

So My account was limited on the 5th of March and now it will be nearly a month after the 180days. I contacted paypal via email on thier page and i asked when will the funds be available as the 180days have already passed. So i recieved the following reply:

Hello *******,

Thank you for responding to our inquiry regarding a request fordocumentation in order to regain access to your PayPal account. At this time, we are unable to lift the limitation. After we verify your identity we can lift the limitaion and you may withdraw the funds and close the account etccc

............

Now why has this happened? Is it something new they are doing? Normally they would just send an email saying the funds are available and thats that

[Stealth4]

Any one has an idea why this has happened. There is only $140 in that account but still why are they holding the money. I recieved an email that the account is limited but not that its closed for ever. Now i am worried that my accounts with large amount of money and limited same thing will happen

Did you search anything on the Aus pp subforums here? I know that Australia pp has some ID requirement as per law for 1900+ but for 140...weird

Money laundering comes to play for $1000.


£1900 is for the UK.

I screwed up on one of my early stealth accounts and it got linked to a legit limited account. At the end of the 180 days they said that they would need to get ID before they could release the cash... I explained to them that it was an alias of mine that I used and they asked me if it was a legal alias. I said no and they then explained that misrepresenting myself to a financial institution was illegal (pretty rich coming from them...), and that they were going to investigate further before they would release my cash, if they were going to do so at all.

I thought that there was a high chance of me never seeing that money but a day later they sent me an email informing me of the completion of their investigation and that cash is available for withdrawal. I was overjoyed.

So in my case the truth worked but it could just as easily have backfired I suppose. It would probably be best for you to just give them the ID that they requested and be done with it.

Is this the same account?

You might have a fight on your hands to get the funds

If this is the same account, what notice(s) did you get from paypal AFTER they rejected the documents.
Crucial to what the outcome may be

well i never reached the $1000. It was a new account and when i tried sending it got limited so i just left it.

They just sent an email saying to provide bla bla and i knew they were not going to remove the limitation so i just left it.

Anyways where do i go from here?

It is a stealth account so telling them the truth wont work lol. IT will be a big problem if i say i am bla bla and have 100 ebay accounts under stealth names..

What do i doooooo :(

I have accounts with $800 or so in them.. will they just all be not given?

[Stealth4]

oh forgot to add. Once they replied to that email the next day the suspended the paypal account that was linked to that paypal account. The Ebay account was not used again after the paypal limitation. So after 7months they suspended.

Do you guys recommend me calling paypal and ask why they are not giving the funds after 180days? I do not have invoices etc? just to figure what is going on?

I once uploaded empty jpeg instead of id, invoices and utility bill. They kept the money for 180 days and then released it.

stanislav .... i might do the same

Cant hurt to try all the options
