I live in the UK, and last week I tried to make a transfer in dollars to my friend in the USA - my share of the holiday he's booked for us. PayPal said I was over the permitted limit, and that I would have to provide ID. I scanned in my passport and a utility bill, but haven't heard back yet about whether I'm now authorised to make the payment or what my new limits are.
Does anyone know how long it usually takes to get a reply?
Does anyone know how to contact the people at PayPal who will be dealing with this?
Many thanks if anyone can help.
Best wishes,
Chris

Click on the words "Help / Contact" at the bottom of paypals pages and use the phone option in the blue band at the top OR very bottom of page dependent on what country you are in. Log in and get the code.
When you get through don't select any options just hang on till you get transfered to an agent OR just say the word 'Agent'".
In the UK its free from any landline phone.
