Re: Paypal limited!
 

What were you trying to do when this happened?

Re: Paypal limited!
 

Nothing! I suddenly got a limited due to "suspicious activity" on my Paypal account. I can find no evidence of suspicious activity.
I had to change my passwords and choose two new security questions. I also have to confirm my location. Clicking on confirm location the next page asks for a card to be added.

Re: Paypal limited!
 

so as instructed above, buy a VISA Gift card from the shops that Bunneh mentioned, visit gospendit.co.uk and register it in your stealth details and add the card :)

The money on it you can use to pay eBay fees.

Re: Paypal limited!
 

No-one locally sell visa gift cards. I have to buy a 3v voucher.
And no-one sells them visa gift cards online in the u.k.

A very nice alternative I must say

Re: Paypal limited!
 

I managed to find a visa gift card.
Paypal claims it wants my telephone number to confirm location , I click on verify and it asks for a visa card number. i give this and choose "use this address as billing address". the address i currently use for paypal.

So this method has not worked for me.
paypal has basically asked me to - and allowed me to - change my password and security questions bit won't let me confirm my location.
Has anyone else had his problem. Does this mean I have to send in DL or Proof of address letter?

Re: Paypal limited!
 

Sounds like you've left it too long or they were going to limit you anyway....sounds like a right mess.

Proof of address and ID will be needed by the sounds of it, check the resolution centre and report back. What has it asked for?

Re: Paypal limited!
 

I was limited on Monday - I found out Monday night at 6pm.

This is the message so odd that it then asks for credit card to be added.

What can't I do while my account is limited?

send money
withdraw money from your account
close your account
add money to your account
link or remove a card
link or remove a bank account
send refunds

If your account is now limited you will have to check the resolution centre to see what they are asking for now.

Re: Paypal limited!
 

Are you sure the numbers are on the back of an AMEX card?

Thought all AMEX numbers are on the front?

:spy:

Re: Paypal limited!
 

I tells me I cannot add a card.

Yet the message on first page asks for a card to be added.

At present I have a bank account added but not a credit card as it expired in January.

Re: Paypal limited!
 

Never said there were 4 on the back of the card, I said 'there are 4 on an AMEX card' - never said where.

AMEX is 4 on the front, correct. You knew that anyway but I am sure you posted just to improve your post count :)

:typing:

Re: Paypal limited!
 

If you look at this post.. http://www.aspkin.com/forums/uk-ebay...tml#post659554

it would imply you were talking about the back..since i was.. :juggle:

but anyway this thread is far to confusing enough as it is without the random comments :d

Re: Paypal limited!
 

What are the steps in the resolution centre?
Not the steps to confirm location.. are there any other doc requests besides this?

Re: Paypal limited!
 

Seems like you where both post count hunting.

I read it as four on the back, and GB just does is usual nonsense.

All good fun but boring as heck.

This is the message, it appears to give me two choices. Confirm location OR Photo ID and Proof of address. However when I choose the Confirm location it asks for a new card to be added (which I do with the gift card visa) AND further down the page it shows the address I gave Paypal. It asks me to confirm this is my address or add a new one. When I do this I then get the message "ERROR you can't add a new card as you are limited".

Re: Paypal limited!
 

Yes but earlier you mentioned your limitation it says this :

So no matter how many times you try it is blocked, so the only option you have is to upload proof of address & photo ID.
