Hi @yiselmaria

 

I'm sorry to hear your PayPal account is limited! I certainly understand the need for immediate assistance. To resolve an account limitation, you will want to go to the Resolution Center and submit/provide the requested information listed. Once all steps are completed/submitted, you will typically receive communication from our specialists within 24 - 72 hours. Due to this being an account specific issue, for further assistance, you will want to contact our Customer Service directly.

I already went to the Resolution Center and sent the photo ID, but  the section "provide proof of address" is blocked in "Sent for review".

@yiselmaria,

 

It sounds like your photo ID was submitted as your proof of address as well. Once our specialists review your submissions, you will receive an email if additional information is needed or if the limitation can be lifted.

Payment notifications are not being sent to our primary email address. I see that several others have posted about this in the past and they either have no answer or a generic response about how to set a primary email address. The correct email address is set as primary. But about 50% of the time, the emails go to an address that, while it is on our account, it is not the primary address. I need this corrected so that all notification emails go to the primary email address.

Hi @basmwk,

 

I'm sorry to hear that the notifications you're receiving are coming through on a different email address than expected. If the payment notifications are coming through on the secondary email address, it may be that the email address isn't confirmed on the account, in which case the notifications would be to claim the unclaimed payment, and those would go to the receiving address. If that is not the case, I recommend contacting customer service for further troubleshooting. 

 

To contact customer service, please click Help & Contact at the bottom of any PayPal page for contact options, or reach out by Facebook or Twitter.

 

I hope this helps!

 

Olivia

I'm quite certain that I confirmed the primary email address when I added it, but it has been a few years, and sometimes the notifications do come through on it. Mostly they go to the old primary email address. I'm guessing that is where the problem lies. I was hoping I could avoid calling customer service, but it looks like I'm going to have to do it unless you have any other suggestions.

Hi @basmwk,

 

I'm afraid I don't have any other theories offhand. A representative could take a look at the payments and get a better idea of what's going on.

 

Good luck!
