Account limited immediately after sending ID

[AlexMG]

I am brand new to paypal, in fact I have created an account just a few minutes ago. I was asked to send a picture of my ID, for which I was almost immediately limited. The picture in question contained all info clearly legible, but I covered my face with my finger (the prompt said that no faces should be present in the picture after all) I am especially baffled, considering it was probably an automatic process. All I wish is to get a non-automated message, I have tried contacting them through twitter and through their inbox already. 
Another important detail is that I live in Paraguay, but they recognized my country while creating an account, so that doesn't seem to be the issue.

It's been a day and I haven't heard from paypal or any community member, I am immensely disappointed.. .

I have got the exact same issue and have been trying to contact them on what all ways i can. Converted my personal account into a business one, and to setup paypal.me i was asked to upload a picture, Right when i was selecting the picture for the id, the browser just frozed  and i received a mail telling me that i am permanently limited. Got no idea what happened, since its a brand new business account and "tada" now i can't receive my payments from my clients or not even try to set up a new account. Please let me know if you have any update btw.I have contacted them on what all way i can and no replies from them too.

Hello @PayPal_Ayesha 
Thank you for responding to my message, I'm glad to inform you that I woke up to the news that my account has been restored, I am however still left with some important questions.
Is it the normal procedure to limit an account after they send their ID for the first time? Or was my case an exception? If the former is true, why is the message displayed to the user a big red warning sign informing them that their account has been permanently limited? I feel that I would have saved myself and your team a lot of stress if I was informed that account limitations are a normal part of the review process, or calling this period a 'review period' instead of a PERMANENT LIMITATION.

On a side note, and since I have your attention, I want to prevent having any troubles with your service in the future, so I want to ask you something else. 
My initial intention with PayPal is to accept donations for my photography work at pixabay, so I want to ask if that is an acceptable use of the service, specifically for a personal account.

Eager to hear from you again
