PayPal not accepting ID after 180 Days hold
 

Hello,

Hope someone could shed some light on my headache situation, my paypal account was limited and 180 days passed 2 weeks ago. Since then I have rang several times each time told to upload docs for ID. I have sent in my driving licence and passport which has been rejected.

They keep asking for proof of ID? Even though I have sent everything... what shall I do? Please can someone help??

Sounds like you already tried everything they asked for and it failed.
Looks like youll be waiting 180 days...
Why was the account limited? how old is the account? is it a real account or stealth?

Account was stealth, was 3 months old from new. EU receiving limit came and docs failed there verification - account permanently limited...

There is a lesson to be learned here, its in the second sentence at the beginning. Also, you'll be putting this bad boy on the shelf for 6 months to get your money. Unless you get one of those pity emails after 45 days that gets your money out sooner.

It's been over 180 days since the account was limited. Paypal are requesting photo ID before allowing the funds to be withdrawn. The OP has supplied this but Paypal are not accepting it and continue to hold his money.

There certainly is.

Since they were not happy with docs and limited account there was no point in sending same docs again after 180 days expired. Ignore the repeated requests for photo id, if you haven't got photo id they cannot force you to provide it - just call and explain you have no photo id and tell them what docs you DO have. Such as a bank statement and possibly a birth certificate. At this point only genuine docs will bring results so take your time and proceed with care....

zamzam,

this has happened to me too. when i rang up after i had submitted the documents, the person who i spoke to said that they checked my documents for verification but they had failed. the person said the only way i can get my monies if i send in documents which will pass the verification database. i.e. genuine documents. which of course i didnt have so had to take a loss on that account. nothing you can do if they want to verify your documents.

What about if the documents supplied are 100% genuine, yet they still don't accept??

Re: PayPal not accepting ID after 180 Days hold
 

is this a new thing? i was under the impression paypal will accept any docs, which they never used to "verify" just have a glance at and approve???

I know you posted a this a while ago but try filing a Better Business Bureau complaint against paypal if they still haven't given you your money. I've had this issue before and BBB complaint always resolves it. Note: it may take up to 30 days to get a response though.

Dosent exist in the UK.

We have the Financial Ombudsmen and requires the stealth adddress to be accessible for their correspondence. There are ways around it though.
