Recently my paypal account was asking me to confirm my identity, address etc. I confirmed every single thing except couldn't upload address through (upload address) so uploaded through driver utility bill something. They asked me also a question why is this relevant to your buisness I had no answer so I replied .... because I didn't know what I had to do. All of a sudden I had a limitation because I was responsible because I signed up as a buisness account not a personal account. Even called them not saying all of this because I forgot some information but this is what I had to say to paypal:
did paypal here is video proof in attachments please investigate and lift limitation on my account I have no idea what's really going on here. I have ebay seller protection against this. I didn't even know I had a buisnesss account I thought I had a personal account I was sent a fake like to restore dashboard something or other and I had to add my address to drive utility bill something or other because adding address option wouldn't work the submit button was grey and wasn't accepting documents address or jpgs or pngs so I had to do it under drive utility something and uploaded address and next day my account had a limitation You can't use your paypal account. Please help me or I will say that paypal is full of fraud you can never know what is real paypal and what is fake and this can happen to anyone.

You need to call PayPal customer service. Only they can access your account and fix the limitation.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Yeah, i have same problem.
I sent all the necessary documents, but my paypal account was limited, and peaceful informed me that it would be closed. I have available balance more $300. This is another scam to stealing money. I talked many times with customer service, their response is always, please send the following documents......
The same documents I had to send them five times and finally :
We regret to inform you that we're initiating the closure of your PayPal account because of certain activity that took place relating to your account. This measure is necessary to protect us from potential financial losses.

Yep, another one. It won't help complaining. They can act anyway they want. They have no transparency, staff can act anyway they like without fear, no respect for customers and they might as well all be 'bots for all the good they do.
