paypal limitation update
 

hi guys if you've done all the verification checks and its still indicating that the receiving limits is £1900 after you've received this information paypal is going to limit your account and ask you to verify your address information with a utility bill or id so be aware and know that its wiser to open up a paypal account and get all the limits removed before selling.

i think it is something new they are doing in uk.

i called pp regarding a stealth account i have, with same issue as you.

they say when you reach 1900 you will get a code through the post, or they will ask for more info.

it must be something triggering flags when the account is opened, i.e ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name not being on the electoral roll or no credit check data.

it does not seem to happen on business accounts, just personal accounts.

what kind of account did you open ?

I have have it happen on my premier pp which I opened up the other day and got the same kinda thing.

I think it is more to do with electrol or the address I used had a bad history. However once I used my mateys addy and he is long term unemployed in a council house... on his account I am fully verified with no limits.... thats on a pp personal

I am new so I could be wrong.... I just thought I give some feedback so you guys can piece together your own puzzle!... it all help hey

it has to do with not being on the electorial register or they can't confirm the address information; what paypal has done is to ask you for identification; i've since tried to upload a 'stealth utility bill' but it wouldn't let me. i've written to them and they've restored my account.. guys please don't give up.. in the past i would ignore it and let it go for the 180 days but since finding this forum and reading updates etc, im wiser.. keep trying things will just work out

hi alps if you need any help or have any questions i can share my insights ok.. we're all in the same boat and if i can offer my helping hand i will.. we all have to survive in this world

I guess the question, though, is WHY they have asked for ID if all the required info for lifting limits has been supplied?

because they know the account is stealth !

not on electoral roll, and no credit backgroud,

equals in most case that its not a real person

they have really tightened security in the last 12 months

i.e many vcc not working, and if you do verify with one, you will find limits still in place

bank accounts getting removed when the name doesnt match, i know name is not usually checked on most uk bank accounts,when dd is setup, but i think they are doing test withdrawals, then they CAN check names.

they probably only do this on suspect accounts

its part of their money laundering guidelines.. what i've done is send them an email and they've lifted it.. just write or call their customer services they will lift the limits if there are no queries.. it has worked for me

I am tempted to email them as I am at the stage where everything is ticked and verified but still have 1900 limit. I am scared though incase it doesnt go in my favor and the ask for id

My pp is new with no transactions on it - I have bank verified and entered my card - should I email them or just use it till i hit the limit and take it from there?

I am a slow seller so I wont be hitting limit quickly but it would be nice to have a no limit pp

hi writing to them they will tell u the same thing i wrote above.. money laundering laws etc. when u get to the £1650 limit and they need more information they will email you. it will sorted from there thanks

one way around this i have found. register your stealth account at a known business adresse, such as unit 1 bla bla bla, but something thats real, and comes up on the postcode databas as a business premises.

as a business premises has no one living there, no electoral record, works, tried by me, no limits. happy days
