My Paypal got limited - Paypal Sucks !!!

    Today when i opened my Paypal i found that my paypal was limited :mad:
    I am using Personal Verified Account and I don't know why they limited my paypal ? When i Opened Resolution Center to see which transaction or activity got my paypal limited, I Didn't got any answer for it.
    This is what paypal is telling -

    Why is my account access limited?

    Your account access has been limited for the following reason(s):

    # 25-Feb.-2008: Recent account activity has made it necessary for us to collect additional verification information.

    Can anyone tell me what is does this means ?
    Also they are asking me for a Utility Bill and i am 18 years old so i dont have Utility Bill on my name what should i do now ?:(

    I am wondering why do Paypal do this Limitation when nothing is suspicious in my paypal account.I think thats why all people have started using E-Gold.
    Now after removing my limitation i will transfer my funds to E-Gold.
    Really I Hate Paypal :mad:. Where is the users convinence gone ?

    Please Help To Remove My Limitation !!!

    There is a limit of about 5 transaction per month and receive (around 300) and send about 13000 (check it with paypal)
    more than that amount you need to create business account
    to get that simply give them your bank account and they will charge you 2.95$ and will send the money to your account to make sure this is your account.
    Then you have business account

    I dont think you can remove it that easily. You have to show a Utility Bill for proof of address or you credit card statement. Did you use a VCC to verify your account?

    deadlychaos25, Using a VCC to verify a PayPal account is against the TOS , You can very well add a bank account on your personal PayPal account, Profile-----> Add Bank Account , For removing the limitation,It might take from few hours to few days but generally PayPal staff is quick in resolving the issue,

    if you don't have a utility bill,You can always submit a bank statement in your name or you can also send them one in your Parents name and update them that the utility bill is in your Parents name

    Happened with me took me 4 months, but now I have never had a problem again with them. I have had thousands of dollars transfered to my account per day without problems. Its just a one time painful thing they do.

    They have had my personal account limited once as I used it for business purpose . After submitting utility bill and drivers license they have removed the limit and asked to upgrade the account to business, its cool since then .

    After you've done all that's required in the resolution center, it should take about 24 hours.
    I submitted my last requirement and 3 hours later, the limitation is lifted, but it can take up to 24 hours. :D

    If the account is yours, no worries - it'd be done and over in no time.

    If i got any payment from hacked or illegal paypal/credit then that particular amount would have been deducted from my paypal account but it didn't happened that means there is no suspicious activity in my paypal.

    I received an email yesterday also and I already did it about a year ago.
    The european union requires it at 1000€,2500€,etc...
    I submitted proof of id and proof of address a few minutes ago and hopefully the limitation will be removed in a nice timeframe because I own a webhosting company and paypal is the payment method that clients use most of the time.

    There has been suspicious activities (from Paypal's stance at least) otherwise they wouldn't have limited your account.
    I'm thinking you received money and your account has just not been varied enough to make it appear "legit" in Paypals eyes. No fear, this happens to me when I receive consistent transfers to my Paypal account without really verifying it (not just bank acc/cc). Again, if its your account and you've got everything they're asking for - expect to be reinstated really soon. :D

    Good luck with everything.

    I think the possible cause can be loging through Different IP.
    Have you logged through different IP??

    Don't worry buddy,
    It takes few days to remove the limitation. Just fax all the documents they asked.
