Limitations

[vuox]

Hi all, Recently I made this paypalaccount. Right after I made it I got an e-mail saying that I can't use this paypal account anymore. I recieved the following message on my paypal account: "You can't use PayPal anymore At PayPal, we value a safe community for our customers to do business. We noticed activity in your account that’s inconsistent with our User Agreement and we no longer offer you PayPal services. Based on this decision, if applicable, you are no longer eligible for PayPal Seller Protection as per our User Agreement. This will apply to all existing and future cases you receive. Any bank or card information linked to your PayPal account cannot be removed nor can it be used to create a new account. You can still log in and see your account information but you can’t send or receive payments. Funds in your balance will be held for 120 days, after which we’ll send you an email with instructions about withdrawing your funds." I have tried to contact paypal through their phonenumber but didn't get to speak to an actual employee. Does anyone know how to resolve this or how to get in contact with someone from paypal? Let me know please. Kind regards

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 living in the country where you opened your 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.
8. Using the friends/family option for sales transactions to try and evade Paypal fees and risk of disputes.
9. Too many disputes/claims.
10. Violating their acceptable use policy.

Normally you can't appeal a permanent limitation however if its none of the above reasons then you could try and contact customer services to appeal?
