I sent an item to my friend in Denmark (I live in Sweden) in order to sell it a few weeks ago. He managed to sell it (not accepting payment through PayPal) and tonight he was going to send me my money through PayPal. Turns out he can't and I received an email with the following: "Someone tried to send you money using PayPal, but the amount exceeded limits set by European law. To lift the limit, the law requires you to verify your identity.". I followed all the instructions and PayPal says that they will review the information and get back to me in 2-4 business days. Why does it take that long? I provided photo of my driving licence, copies of bank statement and so on. Does this mean that I cannot use PayPal to even pay for services or goods?
