    Hi
    I have a new kind of problem
    Yesterday I logged on into my Paypal to see that my account was limited for access
    When I Entered the resolution center I found that paypal asking me two steps to make my account activate
    1)Credit card expanded use number which I can do
    2)A fax documentation of the following
    - Contact information (phone number, email, etc.) for your supplier
    - Proof of address

    Utility Bill

    along with it they ask for proof of sufficient inventory for 4 transaction all of which are virtual goods.

    SO what kind of proof should I sent them
    Also since Im from india and a student still, I dont have any kind of utility bill.Please help me out as there is large amount of money at stake in my account and i dont know what im going to do

    How about telling paypal what you just told us here. Not sure what this has to do with legalities other than the paypal agreement that you agreed to?

    You may have to wait 180 days then they will mail you your remainder (if no chargebacks are made...) and close your account. If there are chargebacks and you are chosen the winner afterwards, they will mail that sum (denoting the fees from paypal) to you seperately.

    If you can not provide them the documentations and such that they require, you will have to wait it out. They are not very leniant with this.

    Sorry :(

    PS. This should be in the payment processors section I do believe ;)

    my account on paypal has recently been moved to limited access as someone hacked into my account. i have a little move than the amount you have stated. i am going to just wait the 180 days because by law they have to release your funds to either your bank account listed on paypal or they will issue you a check to your paypal name. i wouldnt give them the any copies of my dl or any other id because paypal isnt a bank and they cant be trusted in my opinion since they make up their own rules and their customer service is TERRIBLE.

    1) You may replace the utility bill with a bank statement. Bank statements should include your name, address, and etc.
    2) I guess the inventory would consist of showing them purchases made on your site from the buyers or the items itself.

    You could also match these together by putting:

    Forward the e-mail where you sent them the item (if its like an eBook), also include where they agreed to buy it and what price it was, and put the transaction ID from PayPal where they purchased it for the same amount.

    Hope I helped :)

    it can take form 2 day to 1 week minimum for them to process it (if you fax them).... Might be good idea to call them up and tell them that you Faxed them requested information...

    :) Good Luck

    The fact that paypal hold on to your money is in breach of every finance code of practice, and in fact in the UK it is against the law. The most annoying part is they don't care.

    yeah i agree with most of the people here...i stopped using paypal over a year ago when they held up a little more than 2k of my money when i was selling things on ebay...i had to wait 180 days

    checkout www.paypalsucks.com and i think you will find what you're looking for there
