Ok so I opened a paypal account in order for me to sell some second hand items that were cluttering my house basically listed the items with no problem linked my bank account etc, anyway now im all set up i sell an item, after selling the item and posting it my paypal says its limited i automatically called the customer service who said i needed to send my photo i.d now i only have a provisional driving license so i sent them this blocking out my personal information what im unwilling to disclose to paypal i left showing my picture date of birth and address, the response was this cannot be accepted they then asked for utility bills invoices of my business and proof of postage, okay so now i send them my proof of postage i couldnt send invoices as i explained im not a business and i am not happy sending utility bills when they already have a copy of my photo i.d, they then said that the proof of postage couldn't be accepted either although it showed the tracking number and postcode of the address i sent it to, furthermore the tracking shows online delivered and i have provided this information, but either way they are now not accepting what i have sent them and asking for further proof i dont feel comfortable sending this much information to an online site that offers little security, but now comes the problem the money from my sale was pending till the 11/06/2017 now because the account is limited the date has changed to undefined and i have informed the customer service (who are rude) i will not be providing them any more of my personal information so what happens to my money? they get to keep it if i dont send more of my information? my tracking shows delivered and i now have ebay fees to pay but im left without the items i sold or the money so what do i do? grateful for any response ...
