I just opened a UK Business account (It's my legal business), but disappointingly the account immediately says "After a review, we've decided to permanently limit your account due to potential risk. You'll not be able to conduct any further business using PayPal." This message comes up. I do not understand what I need to do now? How can I restore my account?
Most common reasons for an account limitation are:-
1. You have a previously limited account (temporary or permanent) and you have tried to open a new account and not resolved the issues with the other account first. 2. Using a VPN. 3. Not being in the country where you have opened a Paypal account. 4. Being under 18 / minor account. 5. Having 2 Paypal accounts or more of the same account type. 6. Not having your legal name on your Paypal account. 7. Selling items (often virtual or digital) that Paypal consider a high risk of disputes/chargebacks OR items that violate their acceptable use policy.
If none of those then.........
You need to contact customer services to resolve any limitation or account specific issues. Click help / contact bottom left of Paypal pages for options available for your country.
Or have you considered contacting Customer Service via Facebook or Twitter? You can send them a personal message from their Facebook or Twitter pages. It's: https://www.facebook.com/PayPal and @AskPayPal for Twitter.
