withdrawer was reversed and a hold put on my paypal account ........i then phoned paypal and they said it was held just a precaution and i had done nothing wron and to continue to trade on ebay .........( funds would be released in 48 hours !!!!
then a couple of hours my paypal account was frozen for 180 days !!!!

Hi Paige4m
I am sorry to hear that this issue has been causing you so much distress. We are required to collect certain information from our customers and photo ID is one of these pieces of information. If you do not have a photo ID there are alternatives. We can accept a birth certificate accompanied by a government issued letter showing your name and address as they appear on PayPal. This could be a tax document or something from any government department issued within the last 6 months.
If you can supply that it should help to resolve any issues you are having.

Paypal has limited my account and withheld my funds without any explanation whatsoever, aside a reference to increased risk.
I need my money back as an international student; my landlord is threatening to evict me at the moment.
I need this resolved ASAP.

Not very good business sense for them.
Paypal earn much more money from UN-limited accounts by those account users buying and selling and using paypal.
So why would they WANT to limit an account and freeze funds for 6 months when they can make more money by letting you carry on using it.
Shoots your theory in the foot really.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Yeah maybe BUT they would make MORE INTEREST/MONEY by letting you use your account to sell and buy so the reason for the limitation is NOT to make money.
