Spending Limit

When trying to purchase a sweatshirt, I logged in to paypal to use it, but it said that for security reasons I needed to link it to a credit card in case I did not have enough funds.  I left the website and logged into paypal.com, where I was notified that i had reached my spending limit and that payment had been declined.  My balance is at a number higher than the price of the sweatshirt.  What is wrong??

I am currently having the same difficulties friend. You are not alone in this fight. It's not about limits. We haven't reached our limits. I know what my limit is yet they insist that I have reached my spending limit of 175.63. What a freaking joke. Don't ask me to add a debit or credit card when I have the necessary funds to purchase the items I won and I'm well under my limit. Security reasons my arse! Confirm my address? I've bought 11 items on eBay. They were all received. This is getting really annoying.

Here is the same. My accounts is unverified, and my limit is zero. I have received two payments from friends, and now I want to gift a person, and I can't. My money is arrested in this site. I don't want to link a bank account here, and I think it is not necessary. I saw a lot of folks with this same problem. I will send a message to paypal team.
