Used name of business instead of legal name (limited account)

When i created my account I very stupidly used the name of my online marketplace instead of my legal name. Now my account is limited and I've tried to explain my situation to paypal everyday for the past two weeks. I've sent them my ssn, passport, drivers license, everything and all i get is a generated email saying they cant change the name on an account.

Am I truly SOL?

 

Please be considerate as I understand Im an idiot and ive probably just lost next months rent.

Sadly if the documents you are sending are not proving that the name on your paypal account matches those documents then they won't be accepted.

You can't verify an 'individual' business account in a registered business name.

That account really is pretty worthless to you now.  Smiley Sad
