Hello , yesterday I have gotten an email from pp and they were telling me that the account got limited because 'We have observed activity in this account that is unusual or potentially high risk." but nothing happened on 24th March with my account lolz but I saw many people with this problem .. Now I must confirm few things (Address / Credit Card / Photo ID). But how can I do it? I mean , I take a picture of the Photo ID with my cell phone? or? I'm kinda newb at PayPal XD waiting suggestions.
Take a photo of your id , take a photo of some bills , where your address is . My paypal got closed this week and they even didn't gave my clear reason , why they do that.
Please be aware that there are numerous phising messages around that do have exactly the kind of content that you are describing in your post. You can see wether the address is correct in their email by hovering your mouse over their link and looking at the lower left corner of your browser screen for the real address referenced. Most probably you will see that the address there is not the same as the one written in the message itself. If you will enter that phising URL they will get your PayPal username and password and do what ever they will with your account. Most probably they will change the password ASAP leaving you out completely. If you can not log in anymore then this is what has happened. In that case you had better contact Paypal ASAP. Please see the exact instructions on Paypal site. Search on their site for the term PHISING.... In the future you would have much less problems by carefully reading the instructions and advices on the Paypal site. Good luck!
Paypal limited your account probably because an IP different from your usual IP is trying to access your account. Say a foreign IP address. Paypal is very strict about this that they will limit your account for your own safety. I would suggest that you scan your credit card or any other documentation, and upload it to your paypal account so they can verify if you are the legitimate owner.
This happen might due to PP random check on the new account or your account being entered with some un-usual ip. Just need to send our ID or bank statement to them
Don't listen to what anybody else is saying. I have had many paypal accounts and if you have over $1,000 or only a few transactions and you try to withdraw more than half your money, BOOM. Your account is locked for six months, and thats that. Its inarguable unless you get a lawyer.
My paypal account has same condition. Whenever i open it say.. your paypal account got limited because we detected unusual activites.. but i did nothing, and it was from my IP only.. i never used it with a different one. They are asking a total of five things now, i can upload 4 things like photo ID, address proof, info about payments. But I don't have a credit card and i can't make one because I have just turned 18 and don't have a job to give income proof to the bank and make a credit card, so can anyone suggest me what to do?
PayPal it's saying loud and clear that all they want is proof of your Address, Credit Card and Photo ID. And this is what PayPal asks for each and every time. They don't need anything else, they only need this infos. So, I really can't understand all this threads from people saying: "I got this email from PayPal, what should I do?" Just give them what they asked for, nothing else. They can check you one million times if they want to, as they have to keep their system safe.
They should check.. but I don't have a Credit Card.. isn't there any way out? Also there is no option of adding a Bank Account in my paypal. Does this mean that any person like me who is still studying and is not earning a monthly income can't use paypal? because without that, one can not get a credit card
