We can't do anything, only customer services can give you a reason why this has happened as only they can view your account.

Thank you for your time, customer service have told us we have been picked at random to do a full security check, they are asking for pic id, which we do not have, also other paperwork, i have sent this, but until we can come up with pic id we cant get back in, very very unhappy with it all, we have been customers of Paypal many years,

Hi grandad1949

 

Thank you for reaching out here in the Community and Welcome!

 

I am so sorry to hear you haven't bee able to resolve your account limitation. Do you have any type of government issued picture ID? Any government issued picture ID that matches your PayPal account will work. 

 

I hope this helps.
