My Paypal account is limited and although I sent them 20 emails and admited my mistake they don't care!They say that it will be blocked for ever! I asked them to give me the email of phone number of someone who is in charge there but they only gave me the phone number they have on their website. I called them 3 times and waited 20 min each time but after the answering machine nobody would answer. So,is there any other way?Did anyone of you activate his limited account?
That account is on your real name, address and is verified or not? And what was the reason they blocked it for?
Yes, there are many reasons why your account is limited. If it is in negative balance, just top up to zero balance and you be fine. If they requested for some documentations, just submit it to them and they should unlock your account. If you set up the account with false pretences such as using a false name, false address, VCC and fake/stolen credit card or accessing from a non-approved countries, you might not have much leg to stand on. If you use the account to fraud others, Paypal takes a tough stand against that or anyone who violates their Acceptable Usage Policy. You may not get your account back.
You never have said why the froze your account... what was the Reason? let me know and I will tell you how to fix it. ( if it can be fixed ).. But need to know why they froze it. You said it was you mistake... what did you do?
The account is in my real name and adress but not verified with a credit card. The reason the blocked it was beacuse I tried to sell from my site the video:One Night In Paris.(You know the video with Paris Hilton) I didn't know that I couldn't do that,I mean I usually never read the terms and conditions.Somehow they saw this and send me an email saying that my account is now limited. I went crazy because I needed so much a Paypal account.I used it to sell links on my sites to get paid from PayPerPost etc. So I went to my bank and closed my account there.Then I asked them to open me a new account.With that new account I signed up again at Paypal with a new email and removed the last letter from myname.So it looked like I was another person.My second account worked for about 60 days before they find out what was going on and block it also. Now they told me that there is no way I can have my account unblocked. Anyway my advice to you guys is don't try to fool them.They will find out someday.I made a mistake and now I have to pay.But for ever?
I have limited PayPal account too. But I get regular e-mails from PayPal reminding me to activate it.
If they don't activate your account you can close your bank account again and reopen it. Then you register with your real name in paypal again. There are a lot of people with the same name. If they limit you again (most likely) and ask for your documents you can send to them your real documents (if you didn't in the past) and they have no reason to keep you limited.
Never use a false name because no matter what, you be subjected to verification and using false details would get your account frozen. It is not wise to lie. Make sure you have all the documentations to back up every single details you provide to Paypal during sign up. And that includes your age, your country and a credit card statement to boot.
It was NOT about the false name!They closed my first account because I was selling through Paypal the sex video of Paris Hilton.The second account was closed because they don't allow you to have a second account. The first account is with my true name,the second is missing a letter from my first name.So I don't think it will work if I close my bank account and reopen it. My only hope is to find an email or phone number from some guy who is in charge there.I want to talk to him/her and say how big mistake that was and I need a second chance.The employees I talked are like robots,they don't care.Even the worst criminals are given a second chance.
Mine was also very serious. I had 9 accounts, one for each domain I do business with. They limited all of them. I faxed them info, then they restored all my other accounts stating that you may close them and within 5 mins after restoring, my personal account got limited due to some transactions which paypal thought suspicious. Now, my account is back with me after I refunded them all!
oh yes! I jst saw your last reply and they say you ARE allowed to have 2 PayPal accounts ONLY if one is personal and other is premier/business.
So,now your account is active?Can you PM me please the email or person you sent your information and generally talked to solve your problem?
