Paypal Limitation 01-19-2020, 09:50 PM
#1
Hello I have created a paypal account, and they have placed limitations so that I cannot withdraw or send money until it is resolved.
They are asking for photo id, proof of address and bank statement.
I obviously don't have these any workaround with this issue?
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Yeah if you can't provide those things your fucked. I've had it before and you need to call support. After that you'ill need to wait 6 months to get your money back.

Keeping discussions on a legal level, you must provide the credentials as requested.

As mentioned, there's no ways around it. Considering the type of business PayPal is involved in, their demands for information are (somewhat) understandably excessive as any mishandling of cash can be an exponential dumpsterfire.
Unless you absolutely must deal with or have a strategy that hinges on being around them, I'd recommend against entrusting them with any money in the future. Once again, while understandable, the information they demand is still completely excessive. Unless you're comfortable with that on the regular, they're not for you.

PayPal are difficult to deal with even when you have proof. If they weren't so huge and used by so many companies, I wouldn't go near them with a barge pole. They're getting stricter and less helpful as time goes on. And, they will take money/prevent you from using yours at any opportunity they can. They sometimes simply state "its our automatic security system, there's nothing we can do".
They are not a company to mess with, and with good reason.
