[PayPal] Account limited due to trades. What to do? [SOLVED]

Upload a photo ID

I don't usually receive money on PayPal but that is still rather unsettling. I would have expected that from G2A but not from PayPal.

I'd just try to tell them I received the money from family or friends, maybe make something up what it was for that explains the small amounts, and thus they have no right to ask me for ID.

You have made some money exchanges with a banned country?
Did you send money to about .. North Korea?

Identity authentication

You authorize PayPal, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries we consider necessary to verify your identity. This may include:

requiring you to take steps to confirm ownership of your email address or financial instruments;
ordering a credit report from a credit reporting agency, or verifying your information against third party databases or through other sources.

PayPal reserves the right to close, suspend, or limit access to your PayPal account and/or the PayPal services in the event that, after reasonable enquiries, we are unable to obtain information about you required to verify your identity.

If the recipient is illegal, it can lead to serious problems.

they banned me years ago because of this too. I earned my money legitimately.
They asked me to provide my id, but i was still underage when i made the account and i didnt trust paypal enough to give them my real info, so i used a fake name. They ended up permanently banned me after they found out that i didnt use a real name after fishing me to upload my id.

They wont let you get your money unless you give them your id, sadly. So you better prove them you are legit to take your money. And yes, their cs sucks. So i hope you have patience for dealing all that.

I'd recommend talking to them on the phone. Took me 3 minutes to get verified properly. Unfortunately they closed down the Swedish PayPal department due to covid, I hope your country still has it's still open

I've just received this email from PayPal: "Your account access has been restored. We reviewed the information you provided for Reference ID XXX and have removed the limitation placed. You can again access any feature that was previously limited."
WTF?! I've done nothing! I guess the whole thing was a mistake and I should not have been limited in the first place. Glad it's solved! Thanks everyone for your comments :)
