I have a limited account ~ can I still use it to transfer money from the PayPal reference and sort code and account number ~ I need proof of address and I’m transgender ~ the proof of address is in my male name and ID in female ~ however they need ID in male name when trying to preform a name change, and my deed poll won’t make a difference ~ so they have limited my account—- does that mean limited to the amount I can spend per month—- I use PayPal for eBay, online shops and takeouts- I spend roughly a 1000va month?

Depends what limitations they have applied.

Paypal really should make special arrangements for transgender folks.

Have you legally changed your name and could you provide that document for them?

Think your best bet is to contact them direct and ask what they can help you with.
