I am having a similar issue with restrictions. I am our business Paypal account owner. I don't have shares in my company but I am listed as director on companies house, I am authorised signatory on our bank account and I do have authority to make decisions on behalf of the business. A limitation was put on becasue a customer paid an Invoice by Paypal. Usually we do BACS and paypal is only used for our ebay small items sold. i was restricted immediately and unable to withdraw the money to the approved bank on our paypal account to allocate the money to Invoice. I had to then refund my customer, prove who I was (driving licence) provided a utility bill with my name, company name and addess on, a letter of authorisation from the main shareholder of the company to prove I was authorised to make decisions for the company. I did all this 5 times! 5 Times talking to 5 different people in cutsomer services and none of which were able to lift restrictions without the main company shareholders home address and photo ID. Both of which he is refusing to let PayPal have. After the hell I've been through and hoops Ive jumped through to sort this out, without even being able to speak to a human being with any common sense, now all i want to do is close this riduclous account!! It has been a horrendous and stressful experience for 3 months!! While there is restrictions, they wont let you close it. So I am now in no-mans land what can I do now?
