    Are you living with any relatives (who hopefully have the same last name as yours AND pay any utility bill)? You can try sending them a copy of that utility bill instead -- they might accept it if the name of the person on the bill has your last name as well. You might need to establish some kind of proof that you are related to that person, too.

    Oh, and I am sorry to hear that your account got limited -- happened to me before but the money I lost was just $200++. I hope its limited status is lifted soon. :)

    How is it possible for everyone to produce a utility bill? Suppose there are 6 members in a family, one cannot expect all of them to have utility bills or telephone numbers. That means that each family of 6 members should have 6 utility services and 6 telephones, assuming that all wanted to use the services of paypal. :mad:

    What they really want is proof that you are who you say you are and live where you say you live. Can you produce any documents to back this up? Passport? Drivers' License? Gov't ID card? etc... A utility bill in a relative's name from your address?
    Give them lots of info from different sources that collectively prove who & where you are.

    Ah, I see the problem. From your other posts you are in a non-supported PayPal country (Kenya) and used a friend's credit card and address in India.

    Why not just take a generic utility bill, and edit it to match "your" address? It is not even very difficult.

    Yes, Paypal does track an user's IP and matches it with their ISP. Not just on a country basis, but also on a city basis and even a zone within a city too.

    If you have provided false details to Paypal, you are acting against their TOS. It might be honest to tell them the truth. You did not mention if you had also provided your bank accounts. I mean did you verify your account or not?

    ... but it wasn't your credit card, your name, your address, or your country.
