Hello,
I opened this PayPal business account a couple of years ago. I am a sole trader, therefore my business is unincorporated and I'm self-employed. PayPal has recently limited my account and asked me to confirm my identity. It is 2 steps, 1 personal info and 2 business info. I can't complete the process as my business does not have a registration document nor date of incorporation, as again I am a sole trader and so it is unincorporated, I do not have these documents.
Now I do not have access to send, receive, or withdraw money. How can I get around this?
Thank you,
