    Dear All,
    I have been a PayPal user for many years even from my first iTrader on here. I have started a business and been selling on Ebay as well as my website. I buy from a wholesaler which I know very well, however on the 1st April PayPal limited my account and I had to send proof of Name, Address, Photo ID, Tracking Numbers for some customers (couldn't do as paypal had limited my account so couldn't send payments to my wholesaler), Invoices and wholesaler company. I provided all details except Tracking and Invoices as this is all done through PayPal. I have a business PayPal account.

    Email I got this morning:

    Can I never use PayPal again? Not even as a personal account?

    Not sure of the exact reason but paypal in recent times has surely become a pain.. Its better to use ejunkie or 2checkout for your services.

    I certainly hope this doesn't cause any unusual hardships for you. If it does, document them. You can use the documentation to support your case against them should you decide to take action (which I recommend you do).

    Paypal is getting crazy from time to time. This is an act of one-sided blindness against online marketers. Paypal should understand that we are the one making them rich.

    One thing u need to understand is that paypal is no bank, & thats why the do as they want. So its left for we the users to be smart, to minimize the risks of future limitation. It hurts when this happens, because it disrupts ur business.. Also rem that paypal & ebay works hand in hand, so when one accts is flagged, there is great possibility that the other will follow course. I can get u a new verified acct (verified) with details that is not associated to ur previous acct, b/c there are many ways paypal tracks their customers.... web-beacons, ip & so on. U also need to understand how to stay under the radar, to limit ur chances of limitation

    Wow.... sorry to say that, but it seems that your account has been banned permanently. I am also using paypal since 2004 and never experienced such problem. Did you do anything wrong with your account ? I mean has anyone charged back for a refund or something for your account ? That is why I just make sure all my clients on ebay as well as other selling markets are well versed with my procedure ;)

    If you have sent all needed documents already then you must get your account back soon.
    Dont worry
