I registered a business account over a month ago, but I still don't understand how to activate it.
The notification "Provide the info we need to verify your identity and lift limitations" is still showing in my account, even though I provided all the required information on October 30, 2024. When I click on "See details," everything appears complete, and the message "Thank you for providing the required information. We’ll get back to you within 7 business days" has been displayed since October 30.
I have already added and successfully confirmed my bank account, but there are stil Limits on my PayPal account.
I also read in the Help Center that I will need to verify my identity through the CIP process. However, I have not received any link or instructions via email or phone, both of which are confirmed in my account.
What steps should I take to resolve this issue and make my business account fully operational?
