My account suddenly became limited. I only use it to buy items for myself. PayPal wants a photo ID and purchase receipt for my supplier. What supplier? I don't sell anything.

Same here. Email notification came in about 3.5 hours ago. It also wants me to upload "original receipts from your supplier for the items you sell to your buyers" - but I don't have any buyers. I'm not a merchant. I have to imagine this is some kind of system glitch as there is no way I can satisfy this request.

Found a message from another thread that seemed to be echoed by Paypal support folks. We're supposed to write an explanation why we can't provide purchase receipts for the items we don't sell and upload that (in PDF form) to that 'resolve' dialogue.
What a world. Good luck!

Wait how do we do that? Type out something, screenshot and send that? There's no text boxes to type in...

Yep - I just fired up google docs, typed out why it is that I can't provide receipts for items I haven't purchased for the buyers I don't have, saved as PDF, and uploaded that. That will have to suffice as there is nothing more I can provide.
Thankfully, I don't have any balance in my account. If this doesn't pan out, I'll just pay off the credit and call it gg with Paypal. Hoping that doesn't occur though as I do use it often.

What about photo ID? I don't have a drivers' liscence or passport or anything like that! This is so stupid! I need my paypal and they're holding it hostage and demanding what I don't even have!

Did they remove limitations after you uploaded PDF with explanation that you can't provide receipts coz you only buy? Or its still limited. Please let us know?

Exactly the same happened to me. They asked for me to provide reciepts from merchants, I am a infrequent seller on ebay of my own clothes etc not a business.
At first they asked for 7 pieces opf evidence and Thought ......well not going to be using paypal again if i have to do this as its just not possible.
Plus a photo id? very strange.
Then today they are still asking for receipts and id.
I can not send or pay for things and i have some bills set up to reoccur. I am not well at the moment and recently disabled so this is just an extra hassel!
I hope this is a mistake. I have emailed but have not had a reply.
