When I opened my PayPal account I did it through a GoDaddy website. Somehow, autofill used my wife's name instead of mine. I would think this would be a common accident. I tried uploading my documents to lift account limitations and it keeps getting rejected. I'm running a youth flag football league and I need to purchase jerseys with the money that is in the PayPal account. They said that I can request a name change by uploading documents showing I'm the account owner, I did that, and they still rejected them even though I showed my SS Card, Business card with the email and phone number associated with the account and my driver's license. Then they said to close out the account and open a new one, and the funds would go to the primary bank account on file. They limitations are allowing me to transfer the funds, so I couldn't even close the account. Yesterday they told me that I should upload documents from my wife which I did this morning, but I don't understand how they won't change the name given the 'evidence' that I showed them that it was my account. How does it make sense that they won't change the name, but now if I upload her documents, they are going to lift the restrictions even though her SSN doesn't match the account. Am I just **bleep** here, or is there a chance that the limitation will be lifted? I really need to get field equipment and jerseys ordered, with 3 weeks left until the season.
