Account Limited for no apparent reason

Haven't hit the £2500 limit, nowhere close infact. Paypal suddenly asking for me to verify with id/passport. Seemingly no reason.

My only transactions are donations by kofi and steam purchases which amount to around £36.

If PayPal has limited your account for no apparent reason, it could be due to a security measure to protect your account. PayPal may limit an account if they detect suspicious or unusual activity.

Here are some steps you can try to have your PayPal account restored:

  1. Log in to your PayPal account and go to the Resolution Center.
  2. Follow the steps provided by PayPal to verify your identity, including providing any requested documentation such as a government-issued ID or passport.
  3. Make sure your account information is up-to-date, including your name, address, and phone number.
  4. If you have recently made any large or unusual transactions, be prepared to explain them to PayPal.
  5. If you have received a notification from PayPal that your account has been limited, follow the instructions provided in the notification to restore your account.
  6. You can also try contacting PayPal customer support for assistance in resolving the issue.

It's important to be patient and follow the steps provided by PayPal to restore your account. If your account remains limited, you may need to provide additional information or wait for PayPal to review your account.
