Everyone who posts on here about being limited always says that they had broken no rules. However Paypal do not ban you for 0 reason. What would be the point? They make far more money from you using your Paypal account than interest on any held money.
If you have been told your Paypal account has been permanently limited then Paypal tends to hold any funds for 180 days. This is the same time frame that buyers have to open Paypal disputes.
If no disputes are opened in 180 days then normally you are allowed to withdraw the funds. That is as long as you are over 18, the account is in your legal name and registered in the country where you reside.
Sometimes they confiscate funds under this policy.

Paypal also may request further documentation from you before you can withdraw those funds.
Sadly you won't ever be able to remove any linked cards or bank accounts etc, Paypal limits the account to stop you removing anything from it.
They don't want you to be able to use anything linked to it to try and open another Paypal account against their rules.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.

If it was not your legal last name then you may have the issue in one.
Paypal will only correct a 2 character minor error OR legal reasons ie marriage but if you posted a false last name against paypals user agreement rules then that is not only breaking those rules but equally would cause an account limitation.

No bro, I uploaded my passport to fix my last name only, because the last name I have had, I don't have it anymore. Just as simple as that LOL. I don't see how is that illegal if I'm using an official governmental document i.e. a Passport.
Anyway I hope I can get some help to fix this problem.
