I've been trying to verify my identity, phone number didnt work so I used ID. They accpet that but still limit my account, paypal says they need more information, then I get an email saying my account is permantly limited. Then I get an email saying my account acsess has been restored. And then finally it says my account is still limited because they need more information. What did I do wrong and how can I give paypal more information?

Apparently PayPal saw some of your recent activity as suspicious and risky. PayPal made it clear that you were attempting to use a phone number that wasn't registered to your name. You continued to try to use that phone number. You need to use a phone number that is registered to your name and address--the same same and address you have on your PayPal account.
There may also be more identification requirements. If you, you must comply.

You need a phone registered to your name--no exceptions. Solution: get a phone number registered in your own name and address.
Attempting to use ID which is not your own may get your account permanently limited with a email stating PayPal will no longer do business with you. Submitting incorrect information is a serious issue.

You are using a phone number not registered to your name. PayPal will interpret that as a problem; PayPal would interpet such attempts to use identification that is not yours a potential fraud. When you attempt to use ID which is not your own; it is a serious problem.
