Paypal why is my account access limited

Actually I sold some digital courses to some people using PayPal and then the original owner of those courses reported to PayPal about my account and PayPal limited my account they mailed me asking about the nature and details of product that I sold in those transactions. I don't know what to reply them. If tell them that I sold course which was copyright infringing.

And second scenario is I lie to them and tell them I sold something else and give them some fake proof of it. But I am not sure if they will cross check it by contacting the buyers. And third scenario is what if I don't reply to them at all and change my address and closemy bank account and I don't have added my credit card to their website yet.

So only thing they will be left with is my pan card number that is used in India for paying taxes. Do you think they can take any legal action against me If I don't reply to them or they will just close my account permanently because of no response?? They are the father of all paypal and eBay stuff. Check them out, they've helped me a great deal the past 10 years.

I was limited permanently by PayPal with no chance of appeal. I have customers that I have to accept payments from. I kept seeing Auction Essistance come up as a company that can help me get back on, but I am a little reluctant as there is not much information on them.

PayPal is horrible. My account was restricted 3 years ago and I am still locked out and unable to resolve any problem. After calling them several times to resolve the issue they will not even tell me what the issue is. I have lost thousands of dollars in lost revenue because of this. It's almost impossible to do business on EBay any longer because most sellers require PayPal payments, and I can no longer accept Payment for anything I sell.

Paypal can take you through hell. My account was recently limited and they are not replying my emails. The funny thing is that they allowed me to receive money that I cannot withdraw or refund. I received money from a friend for personal use yet they want every details about the transactions made.

The reasons PayPal limit me was absolutely insane! They are so general with their reasoning and are near impossible to get help from. They cost me thousands in lost revenue due to that limitation. Currently I am working with Auction Essistance to help me get reinstated, but a bit hesistant since PayPal isn't known to budge.

Also, reaching a certain transaction value in your account may trigger a limit, which can also be removed by providing information required to PayPal. There are also restrictions on what a PayPal account can be used to accept and make payments for.

For example, PayPal doesn't allow the sale of counterfeit goods or banned items. Following some simple guidelines can help you improve your performance and reduce the likelihood of limitations.

Its obscured. Hi keyyarruhh,. Welcome to the PayPal community and thank you for your post. As your question is very account specific, I would advise you to contact our customer care department who can help you further.

You can do this by clicking on the Help and Contact link at the bottom of every PayPal page to check what your contact options are. I'm sick and tired of PayPal. I got my first limitation back in July with no explanation of why. I called up PayPal several times and they said they couldn't tell me why my account got limited!!! This was on December 22, and my limitation wasn't done until around January 7, so I couldn't even take the money out and put it into in my bank because I had no access to the money.

After the days, I was finally able to make a second account without it being limited straight away so I thought I was ok. Before this, I made a new account in October and it worked for 2 weeks before getting shut down.

When making the new account in January I linked my bank account, I showed proof of my address and all the other information needed. I made sure to be extra careful to do everything I needed since I had no idea how my last account was limited.

Now I just got a notification that my PayPal account has been limited permanently once again! Now I can't make any income online during the coronavirus pandemic. I still have no idea why I'm limited and no PayPal employee can tell me why. This is what gets me really mad becuase I did nothing wrong to get my account limitited. I read the terms of service and couldn't find anything that I was doing wrong. I sell beats to rappers online I'm not violating any terms of service I'm trying to make some money and can't.

I have customers that I have to say no to because of PayPal limiting me and causing problems with my account for the past 9 months. I've provided all the information and wasted hours of my time trying to fix my account. I want to switch to a new payment method but PayPal is the most popular one that every one of my customers use.

Beat websites like Beatstars primarily use Paypal and I lose so many customers because they have to create a whole new account on a different site to purchase a beat from me. I guess it was just a waste of money though becuase PayPal limited me anyways I don't even think a real person limited me it must've been a bot because I've done everything PayPal has asked me to do.

View solution in original post. Youre right, I just need to contact your customer service directly and give more details of the problem as possible to find quick solution on the problem. By the way thanks so much for the effort you made to solved my problem, I really appreciate it!

The funny thing is I already solved the problem and do the things you said before I seen it. Hey Ichie! I Have that problem too , cane u help to reslove It just give me the step's to write an email for customer support , and get back my account Thank You!

Like for example , 'I don't have a credit card to verifiy my account so I tell them that how can I verify my paypal without a creit card to use in it? And how can I complete the step you gave me when I wasn't able to make an actioon? A simple question for them is a way that can help paypal support to help you easier to solved your problem. And lastly, I just don't get the one way communication aroud. I also used to send a message on they're facebook page.

That's way more faster to talk to them rather to send an email on paypal support that sometimes I think only answering machine that talk to me. Because it always the same answer gave me with different question. Sound funny But it's worth waiting, so be patient. Remember that when you calm your self you have a more time to think. I've been having the "limited access" problem for several weeks. I've exchanged several emails but haven't received a satisfactory explanation.

The alert says there was "suspicious" activity linked to a credit card on my account and gives a date. Problem is there's no activity for that date on my PayPal account or on my credit card. After the last email I asked for documentation showing this "suspicious" activity and never received a response back. Guess that was the wrong question to ask.

It bothers me that I'm basiclly being accused of something but I'm not being given any information that I can verify to try to solve the problem or even be able to understand what happened to start with. Looks like I'm not the only person here having this issue so one has to wonder what is truly going on.

Any advice is welcome. PS-The resolution center doesn't list any steps for me to follow, which is why I resorted to sending emails. Just try to talk to them on they're facebook page. Just give them the case id and give them a simple and straight forward story of the problem you faced.

That's help me a lot and also gave the paypal support an easiest way to help you out.
