"we're permanently limiting your account" I literally did nothing wrong

[Talisman667]

I will tell you everything from the beginning, my gf who lives in the US wanted to send me money, so i created a paypal account, and i linked my visa card into it, then she sent me money, i transferred them to my bank card and everything was fine, then after 2 days, Paypal asked me for a photo id + bank statement, I provided the photo id, and the next day i went out and got a bank statement and took an SS of it then submitted it to Paypal,

a day later, I try to login to my paypal and i see "we're permanently limiting your account"

note that the account has 197$ in it, that i'm now unable to refund or withdraw,

Paypal is literally robbing people from their hard work, i literally did nothing wrong and followed every instruction they ever gave me, why would they do this to me.

Everyone who posts on here about being permanently limited always says that they had broken no rules.

However Paypal do not ban you for 0 reason. What would be the point? They make far more money from you using your Paypal account than interest on any held money.

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.
8. Using the friends/family option for sales transactions to try and evade Paypal fees and risk of disputes.
9. Violating their acceptable use policy as per link.

10. Too many disputes/claims.

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.
