Paypal Limited Access – Resolved

โ€”

by

in

The start of this month was not on a very good note financially. My Paypal account got limited access-fied and I have been trying to get it fixed for more than a week now. Forums and blogs suggested that limited access is something which is difficult to resolve and its best to forget about the paypal account after it has been limited.

But I was bent on getting this resolved as it was no fault of mine and they had even charge-backed my recent transaction to renew my hosting. After numerours phone calls to USA in the middle of the night and talking to people who do not even understand each others accent, I was able to get the thing resolved and limited access was lifted!

When in trouble with paypal, forget posting in forums asking for help as it is difficult to get the right advice. Email paypal directly if you are sure that the mistake is not on your side and remember the manners your mom taught you. It goes a long way in getting it resolved. They wanted proof of documentation, for which I uploaded my recent credit card statement, my bank account statement and my PAN card scanned. My limited access was removed in less than 12 hours of doing this. So, in case you are stuck with limited access, just read the paypal help and do as they say. It is scary to have your paypal limited and not be able to pay for hosting, domain renewal and other essential stuff online. Have you been stuck with this trouble before?

    i just received an email about my paypal acct having limited access. So I logged onto paypal and followed their directions…uploaded my driver’s license & recent cc statement. That didn’t seem to do anything. I have an ebay auction ending soon (less than an hr) and wanted my money right away. Having a limited access acct prohibits you from transferring your funds into your bank acct. So I gave them a call and forever was on the phone with an automated turd. Pressed 0 a few times until I got a REAL person. I told them I got an email saying my acct had limited access and I need to lift that because I have a ebay auction ending very soon. She took a minute and looked up my info, then said something really fast and anything else for you today? no….thanks for calling paypal. i was like, what did she say? so i went online to paypal and the limited access junk is gone now….

    1. Ah, I had a stint with their automatic thingy too…it was so hard to reach the person! I could not make it. Glad to hear that you were able to make it happen! ๐Ÿ™‚

  7. I’m fed up with paypal.. nine months of limited access being lifted and reapplied because of ‘security issues.’ Also a fraudster hacked into my paypal and got my account details and emptied my bank account and put me in maximum overdraft just as I was off overseas on a trip of a lifetime! definitely not using paypal again!!!

  8. my account was held for 6 months now… will they still give my money back?!! it was held due to shit limitation access.. i have submitted everything they had asked me to send but still i am wondering where is my money…. can someone please advise?

  9. Hi,

    I am facing the same problem now and I would like to ask what paypal number I can call so I can talk to them regarding my account’s limitation? I tried to look for it but I couldn’t find.

    Thank you so much in advance.
