Need to Send around $150 on PayPal but account limited!

    Hey guys,

    For some reason PayPal decided to limit my account they said (For your protection) although I've been a member for 6 or so years and have been verified since then. I'm in a trip to China and really need to send money to someone working on my website. He only has PayPal and I really can't verify my account in the near future. What do you guys suggest? Can someone help out?

    Paypal has probably limited your account since they have detected an access to your account from another country! You should have called them and informed them of your travel plans and the need for you to access your Paypal account from the country you intended to travel.

    Anyway... try calling Paypal support and explain your position personally and hopefully, they would be considerate enough to understand the same! :)

    Regards,

    When you login from a different geographical location and try to send a 3 digit fund, paypal limits you on a goodwill gesture. Please let paypal know that your account isnt compromised and they will enable your account again. It has happened to me and it took 20 minutes for them to figure out.

    I already contacted me and they keep sending me instructions on how to activate my account - they're really not helping. Any alternatives to my original problem?

    nah they just want me to get a pin number they sent to my card statement. Problem is I'm overseas and have no access to it at all. I need to send payment to my website worker. Any workaround?
