As far as I'm aware, my account is verified and I've followed all the steps to lift the limits on my account, but there's still a £1,700 yearly limit. I've trawled the Help section, but to no avail.
How DO you lift the limits?

Hi
I have exactly the same problem with my account, however I have a confirmed debit card.
I select "Receiving limit per year" and click on "Lift Limits", this takes me to the table of steps to become verified. All sections are completed, but I don't know how to proceed to lift my limit from there.
The only button below the table is "cancel".
Many thanks in advance

Hi guys, if your account status is 'verified' AND you have confirmed a card (any card, credit or debit) and you are still being told you have limits on your account then I would advise contacting customer service directly as either some unknown technical issue is affecting your account or something is flagging PayPal's security system and it would be best to contact customer service for more information.
The only other thing I can think of is that your eBay account might be linked with a different PayPal account, be sure to check this on your eBay
1) log into your eBay account
2) click on the 'account' tab
3) Check under 'Your PayPal account information' for 'what else can you do?' and you will see what account your eBay is linked with. Update this to the correct account if it is wrong.

Hi there jamie2011,
Have you tried confirming the card linked to your account?
Here’s how to link and confirm your credit card:
- Go to www.paypal.co.uk and log in to your account.
- Click ‘Profile’ near the top of the page.
- Click 'My money.'
- Click 'Update' beside 'Debit and credit cards.'
- Click ‘Link and Confirm My Card.’
- Click ‘Save and Continue.’
When you click ‘Save and Continue’, you authorise us to charge your card. Don’t worry though! You will be reimbursed for the amount. Your card will be charged £1 exactly and we will also send you a unique, randomly-generated four-digit PayPal code.
After two to three working days, you should be able to see the charge on your online card statement. Alternatively you can wait for your next paper statement. You will find the four-digit PayPal code, next to or near the £1 charge on your statement. In the item description, the code will be printed between the words 'PAYPAL' and 'CODE'. (e.g.: PAYPAL* 1234 CODE).
Once you have the details from your statement, you can then confirm your card by following these steps:
- Click ‘Profile’ near the top of the page.
- Click 'My money.'
- Click 'Update' beside 'Debit and credit cards.'
- Click ‘Link and Confirm My Card.’
- Enter the 4-digit PayPal code and click ‘Submit.’ If your card is already confirmed then I would advise that you call us by clicking on the contact us link at the bottom of any PayPal page and we can review further.
- Hope this helps!

John@ Paypal, you are a **bleep** joker. Paypal procedures SUCK. End of **bleep** story. No stupid excuses from you suffice!
