    Yesterday my paypal got limited because a client sent me $50 for my SEO services.
    After few hours, i got limited and i get this message when i login:

    Your account has been limited for more than 180 days. It will continue to be limited but you now have the ability to withdraw funds.

    Why is my account access limited?

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


    8 Feb 2011: We need to confirm some of your account information. Please update your profile with your current address and provide some documentation to help confirm your identity


    ---

    However, on the 3rd of feburary i wanted to change my name because i used a fake name. I uploaded the documents and sent them to paypal ont he 3rd. Now i'm limited.. How can i get unlimited, what now?

    P.S I have resubmitted the documents again on the same day i got limited. I have also updated the address.

    Give them a phone call and let them know of this issue that you have already resubmitted all required documents to them.

    DON.

    Sounds like that's the reason your account was limited, not the $50 for SEO services - if you submit fraudulent details to a payment processor then you really have little to complain about when they suspend and/or otherwise limit your account because of it :rolleyes:

    Like it or not the best thing you can do is keep calling PayPal and try to get this resolved, from past experience with PayPal; its always better to call rarther than email them. I don't mean to sound harsh but at the end of the day its entirely your own fault for using fake details.

    I don't think you read my other thread.
    You can't get limited for having a fake name. The reason why i submitted documents on the 3rd because someone working at paypal told me via email.
    He told me to submit my idenitity so he could review the documents and change the fake name to my real name.

    I'm really not going to call again, i ain't wasting any money on them. I will keep on contacting them via paypal.

    ^^^ You can call them for free using Skype. Search for the free number on Google.

    Okay, I see now - I got the wrong end of the stick from your original post.

    - Good Luck

    You'll have to contact them and probably forward them a scanned government issue ID card. The reason they did this is because you used fake information, and it comprimises their integrity.
