Paypal are quoting Eurpean Anti-Money Laundering regulations and a limit of £1,700.

The regulations are 2005/60/EC updated 15 December 2007.

My account is frozen because they have not posted codes, I have emailed and spoken to them. They say post is sent from the USA.

It is like trying to solve a problem with a brick.

Does anyone know where they get a value of £1,700 from ?

Businesses only have to comply with these rules if there sales exceed £64,000 per year or Euro 1,000 in any one transaction.

If I can prove the £1,700 is wrong it will help a lot of ordinary people who need help against banks.

Can anyone help ?

Have you upgraded your paypal account to a Business Account and had the limits removed?

It appears that you have reached the yearly limit for sending and receiving funds in your paypal account, that is why they have frozen it.

you need to get your account linked and go through about 10 differant steps, then after about 7-10 days of hassle your paypal account will be fine

In the paypal "Resolution Centre" it will tell you what you need to do. I have had this about 5 times in 3 years. Dont worry, assuming you answer the questions they will re-instate it. I wouldnt bother fighting them over it, it will only cost you time and ultimately money

I got it as well. You have to send a copy of Driving license (or passport), Photos ID,..some kind of these to prove that you are really exist, Not fake account I guess

Just follow PayPals instructions as Players4you suggested if you're not doing anything dodgy it will get sorted out...eventually!

Also after you get up and running again make sure all limits are lifted on your PayPal account and its upgraded to a business account.
