hi friends, My indian paypal account recently got limited. So i can't buy any things or send money to a friend until i remove the limitation. I got shoked. Im getting upset now. I need ur help friends. Im crying and worrying a lot friends. My problem is im under 18. My age is 17. But i gave my age as 20 in paypal. I have done 2 steps to remove my limitation. 3rd step is i have to give a photo proof. If i give my id they will get to know that my age is 17 and they will ban my account. And also my hometown address is different. So pls give me some ideas to remove the limitation. Thank you very much 4 ur response as advance

I actually didn't got problems on limitations because I linked my 2 bank accounts with my paypal accounts. If you have an existing savings account then you will not have problems.

you don't have to send them anything, I have had my account limited at least 4 times in the last few weeks because of hackers in other countries trying to get in and use it, and all i did was ring them up, and spoke to the relevant department (which only operarates kind of 9-5 time) and they confirmed a few things with me, like name address, dob blah blah blah, and hey presto they removed it, so dont worry about sending or faxing over documents you dont have to do it, just ring them~! also that way they wont know any difference in your age, just remember the dob you gave them on your sign up!

You need to send a letter containing the list of needed verification in order for you to remove the limitation. It is really quite very hard to do that in your case. They just dont accept "sorry" for that.

You shouldnt have lied about your age. Thats why it was limited. Next time think before you do something like that. Or ask your mom/dad if you could purchase something with her paypal. Theres always options besides lieing.

To remove your limitation, you must verify your self in paypal. That's the only way to remove the limitation or make a new paypal account (account that is true) you may ask for your parent's help.

Just verify your paypal account, with your credit card.. The limitation limit will automatically removed..
