UNJUSTLY BAN

[MUHAMMED2310]

Good day, I created an account a long time ago but I don't login consistently since I have no reason to. Recently I tried logging on and I was told to input an ID verification after have uploaded it I was told my account is permanently limited I think it is too quick to judge as the error message was shown in seconds to the uploaded time and also I think there is no reason for the ban as the ID was government issued one and very valid.

Most common reasons for an account limitation are:-

1. You have a previously limited account (temporary or permanent) and you have tried to open a new account and not resolved the issues with the other account first.
2. Using a VPN.
3. Not living in the country where you opened your Paypal account.
4. Being under 18 / minor account.
5. Having 2 Paypal accounts or more of the same account type.
6. Not having your legal name on your Paypal account.
7. Selling items (often virtual or digital) that Paypal consider a high risk of disputes/chargebacks.
8. Using the friends/family option for sales transactions to try and evade Paypal fees and risk of disputes.
9. Too many disputes/claims.
10. Violating their acceptable use policy as per link.
