First off, please note this is not the account I'm having trouble with. Infact, I CANNOT even post on the forums without re-validating and updating my information on that account. So in other words, I must make this account just to come on the forums to try to get help for my real paypal account and to find out why everything on that account must be updated and changed. Nice job designing that system guys, I can tell you really thought that one out... Ok, so my main question is: Why am I required to re-validate and confirm my account after it's already been confirmed for years? I've used my paypal account for years to make online payments, and adding money my account has been done through my VERIFIED bank account. I also have 3 credit cards all verified with my account, all my information has been verified for years (location, bank, phone), but now all of a sudden PayPal requires me to change: my password, security questions, and confirm my location. I find no point in doing this, I don't understand why we are automatically required to change these. This morning I tried to send a payment (94.50 USDs) to another paypal account for online goods (no product delivery). Upon attempting to send the money (also that I had to wait 5 days to receive from my confirmed bank) I got an error saying my account was limited and I should check out "My account limitations". So I went to account limits and it says, for Sending, "Limit lifted: Completed". After that I tried sending just $1 to the same person (also has a verified account) and I get the same error, that my account is limited. Afterwards I click on a link that tells me why my account is limited and it says I need to do 3 steps to, apparently, revalidate everything I've had confirmed for years. The "Date Limited" on all of them is March 16th of this year. (Why? What happened then? I wasn't notified of a **bleep** thing!) Those 3 steps I need to take is: 1. Change password, 2. Update security questions, and 3. Confirm Location. All of which I've already completed years ago. I've been waiting over 2 weeks to complete this deal, and I've waited the time it took to get that money into my Paypal account, and now when I finally have the chance to finish it, PayPal steps in and tells me my account isn't confirmed. I'm loosing patience very fast. Please tell me why PayPal automatically set my status back to "unconfirmed". Or if anyone on the forum could recommend an alternative to this joke of a system, PLEASE tell me. I've just about had it with PayPal...
