Hey everyone, I've run into a little problem.... My account was limited a few weeks ago and now PayPal want me to fax/upload a copy of a current utility bill with the exact name and address appearing in my PayPal account Here's the thing, I live with a friend, so the utility bill comes in his name, not mine. So what do I do?
They wouldn't aspect passport nor a driving license. Just any bill with you present address would do.
Okay, I got my bank statement as a pdf file, will that do the job? By the way, it's a Canadian account.
Print the pdf and fax it. Get the mobile phone and give them this current address and fax tbe bill to them. There are a lot of posibillities. I had such problem too...
You could try that.. Or you could phone them up, and ask them to send you a address verification letter..
paypal will not accept the bank statement taken online. they need statement which was mailed to you on your name to the given address. Make sure that address on paypal and address on bank statement match. If you stil find difficulty get in touch with me I will help you lift the limitation.
well i live with my parents, when i got limited i sent them th utility of my parents, and all you have to do is that you tell them that you live with your friend and give them the utility of your parents which you put on your paypal when signing up and give the utility bill of your friend to insure them that you are honest to them. and mine was fix and im not having any problems till now
Dont know if this helps any but most real merchant accounts also want proof of location. But usually any bill is sufficient as long as it proves that you live at that address (Cellphone, etc). It may be best for you to just apply for a business license in the name of that address just to prove that you're legit. You may also want to look into real merchant accounts if you're looking at PP Pro (merchant accounts can be cheaper if negotiated).
Please PM, me if you have issues, Paypal will only keep limiting your account because your letting them, they can not just freeze your account like that unless your using someones money/card. I know this because ive had over 20 accounts with them and i know who to speak to and who to ask for, there all crooks no matter what, ive never hated a company as bad as them, but ive helped about 30 people out of paypals money holding scam, anyhow just thought u should know
JVanHorn, I will try a few things at first, but if they don't work, I will be sure to give you a call (PM, or whatever )
