Your PayPal account will at a point get limited by PayPal for some security checks, this Limitation can come at any time, sooner or later, even if your account is as clean as anything, I will share the different reasons your PayPal account will get limited, how to prevent sudden limitations and also how to probably lift the limit on your account.
Whats PayPal Account Limitation
PayPal account limitation is of two types, Temporal and Permanent limitation, the former is what we will discuss on this post, because the later has no solution, and it’s more like a termination of the agreement between you and PayPal. A temporally limited PayPal account cannot send or receive payment
PayPal limitations take place when PayPal security notices some suspicious or irregular actions or activities on your account, to clear their doubts they will place some limits on the account and require the user to submit some documents for verification in order to regain full access to his account, PayPal Temporal limitation can also come into play if you reach a certain threshold I e if you have received a certain amount of money, If you run this type of PayPal account(using our guide) then you wouldn’t have much trouble getting your account out of the temporal limitation.
PayPal can temporarily limit your account for different reasons, however, every one of them is for security and anti-money laundry purposes, your PayPal account can be limited by your actions and inaction's, and that’s what We are to share on this page.
Why Will PayPal Limit My Account
Like I mentioned earlier, PayPal will limit your account due to your actions, if your PayPal account is limited regularly then the problem is from your end, PayPal will limit your account for the following reasons:
1. PayPal will limit your account if you are using a blacklisted VPN: as much as we advise people against using VPN to run their PayPal account, if you use a regular VPN that PayPal have blacklisted to run your PayPal account, chances are that at a point PayPal will notice your VPN and limit your account
2. PayPal Will Limit Your account if You Login from Different browsers: We stated on our PayPal best practices guide that you should maintain only on Browser, if you access your PayPal account with different browsers, one of them will surely trigger PayPal police and they will like to verify if an intruder is having access to your account, therefore limit the account until your provide their required documents.
3. PayPal Will Still Limit Your Account For no Reason: Really?, yeap, PayPal will still limit your account if even you get everything right, that’s from your own point of view though, however, this Limitation comes only if you reach some account threshold, that is if you receive a certain total amount of payment on your PayPal account, some times $10000 or more.
This Limitation is placed on your account by PayPal for KYC reasons, this is the same thing that the bank does when you open an account, a perfect example is a student bank account, when you open a student bank account, much documents wouldn’t be requested by the bank, however, if you want to upgrade to a regular bank account, or you received a huge amount of money, you will need to provide some documents, your ID, a bill, etc, this is the same step PayPal will take on your account if your reach a certain threshold, thus Temporarily limiting your account and will request that you provide them with some documents.
