Thank you for letting me know that the investigation can take weeks. I thought that it would take only 2 business days.   The problem is that I have no way to additionaly prove my identity or submit a document. Whenever I log in to my paypal account, it justs says that "we are reviewing your submissions". I think already 2 or 3 weeks have passed with this status.   BTW, I recorded my phone number correctly which is registered with my name. ... View more

Let me clarify the details. I created an U.S. Paypal account. At that time, I could receive a money from my friend without registering any bank account. I stay in Pittsburgh now. I registered U.S. address in my paypal account.   My paypal account is not linked to any U.S. bank account.I might try opening an bank account in the U.S. if it is the only way to recover from the limitation.   Thank you. ...

Thank you for your response. I am using an account opened in the U.S. You said that I would need to wait 180 days to get my funds. Does this mean that I will be able to use the money in my Paypal account if I wait 180 days? If so, I can wait 180 days. If not, is there any way to resolve this problem? I can't understand why I can't use my money even though Paypal allows me to receive money from my friend at first. ... View more

Hello, this is Changho from South Korea. I arrived in the United States in the beginning of this month, and used Paypal to receive a money from my friend. After I received the money, I found that my account is limited.   I tried to prove my identity by submitting necessary documents. And I received the following email. "Request for additional information PP-005-971-661-629 RXI000 Accepted: Lease aggrement to confirm name & address Clean acct login session Clean acct xtvt. cards does not link to any suspicious accts No strong linked to fraud accounts No unauthorized claims being filed Too weak to hold Granting appeal Please do not reply to this email. " I am wondering what additional information is requested. Also, how do I provide the information without replying to the e-mail?   When I logged in to my paypal account, it says "We're reviewing your submissions. We’ll get back to you or lift your limitation within 2 business days." I think at least a week has already passed but the status is the same.   How do I resolve this problem?   Thanks in advance. ...
