that has happened to a few people here actually.
- I think they must be failing a certain proportion regardless of what they send, to show to their compliance.
or it is the acc they do not like eg goods or some way it was made.

real annoying to lose a bank, so wish we got vba here in UK, then we could swap for real bank once passed....

Yeh same here - mate sent in real docs n still got the boot

good luck OP

I recently faxed and emailed docs and passed with flying colours. They must have been happy and in the Christmas spirit. Saying that, quality was top of the range. If one is going to send in docs, I recommend sending in now as its Christmas.

[vany]

happy for you, i had the same problem last night, will follow your advice and see what happens, hope they are still in the Xmas spirit

[jurubitamano]

Yes, I´m also in the "waiting list".

It also happened to me before: sent real docs matching account info and got kicked. In this particular case I believe account was linked by the SSN of my country.

Yeah well I had to upload ID doc and I uploaded a driving licence and utility bill, the driving licence was accepted and they werent happy with the utility bill as my name wasnt identical to how it was registered with Paypal, the only difference was on the utility bill my first name was just shown as the initial then surname, anyway I gave them a new utility bill where my name appeared EXACTLY as it was registered with Paypal and then within a few days everything was tickety boo!

Unfortunately the same day that Paypal removed all my selling limits, Ebay 'indefinetely suspended' my account from selling !!! What a laugh!!! Here we go again!

[oompaloompa]

they are nuts, alot of/I would say most, utilities send the bill in ititial and surname.

[eBay King]

Docs being accepted by PP is a 50-50 gamble these days. Folks have had the boot with legit docs and vice versa...

that just happened to me - real docs of my family member and their real bank statement. I cannot understand it. A good account lost.

And I had another two sets of ID accepted this week. Good old paypal.

Were you trying to lift the receiving limit or was it a different limitation?

[johnnyleeds]

Well I would suggest that when you submit the docs you ensure that your name on the docs appears EXACTLY as it appears on paypal, i.e, IN FULL! Initials will get your docs rejected.

About half of my docs that have been submitted used a utility bill, with just the initial on it. None have ever been rejected (and I'm not talking one or two slipping through - at least 20).

I think people need to be very careful when making these sweeping statements regarding Paypal / eBay. Just because it happened to you once does not mean it is the norm for everyone. The very fact that REAL docs get rejected speaks volumes regarding the policies & procedures in place at Paypal and that predicting what they will do regarding docs is far from easy.
