I am getting this error and it’s not even an internationally! It is even in the same state as me! Makes no sense!

Hello, My PayPal account was permanently limited without informing me.

Contacting customer support does not help at all. They SAY they will call you back in 48 hours but days and days go by with no reply. you call back and they tell you the same thing but now say they 'have no record of your previous call". I call bull on this. I've been a verified business for over ten years and this hasn't happened before and there is nothing new about my product line or business which would suddenly make it "noncompliant". thinking Square needs a second look...

The suggested solution doesn't work for me - there have been hundreds of people with the same problem, and from what I can see in the community pages there is NO SOLUTION! This is crazy! All I want to do is enter a writing competition (and alright, you can call it gambling, but technically it's a contest of skill), pay an entry fee, but it's impossible to do it with PayPal - and the really frustrating thing is that the competition has no alternative means of payment. If I can't find a way of fixing this I'm going to close my account. This is ridiculous.

Tried that and it didn’t change a thing even when I tried the “as a guest” option seems to be happening A LOT with aussies. Need you guys to check what’s happened in the past month for australians

Took me a while but I figured out the problem. If you have an account or card linked to your card that the merchant doesn’t allow PayPal will reject the transaction because of it. Simply unlink any cards and accounts before reattempting. It’s sure fix the issue.
