After getting nonsense updates from PayPal, I finally received this:
Dear [name],
For the safety and security of the PayPal network, we often review accounts for potential risks. After reviewing your account, we have decided to close it because of security issues.
We are making every effort to minimise any disruption to your business.
If your PayPal account balance is zero, and you have no unresolved buyer complaints or chargebacks, your account will remain limited.
But why? Their reason is below:
We recently noticed an issue with your account. To see what you can and can't do while your account is limited, go to the Resolution Centre.
Why is my account access limited?
Your account access has been limited for the following reason (s):
26-Oct: Our system detected that multiple PayPal accounts contain registration information similar to yours. Our User Agreement allows PayPal users to have one Personal account and one Premier or Business account. To return your account to regular standing, we will need to confirm some of the information on your account.
(Your case ID for this reason is PP-001-530-350-111.)
17-Oct: In accordance with Indian regulations, you are required to add a PAN, purpose code and bank account in India to your PayPal account in order to receive payments and withdraw funds.
(Your case ID for this reason is PP-001-520-348-256.)
Why is PayPal nonsense?
1] Someone else's name may match mine. It is too common. In fact, a different person with the same name lives in front of my house (though he is a teen). If somebody else's name or street address etc. matches mine, is it my fault?
2] I submitted my government identity proof. But PayPal did not respond regarding it and denied any appeal. If there were a duplicate account, as they claim, then they should ask for identity proof of the second person. But they limited my account forever.
3] How nonsensical is PayPal! Even a kid knows that one person cannot have multiple government identification numbers. Hence, how can there be a duplicate account?
4] PayPal made PAN mandatory for Indian users in 2010, so every user provided it. In the month of September, PayPal asked for the PAN again. But the PAN was already there. The status remains "Awaiting your response". They are so nonsensical that they cannot understand how one can provide his/her PAN again. When somebody tries to provide their PAN again, their automated system says "You have provided existing PAN".
In this way PayPal limited more than 2000 Indian accounts, which have been reported to www.timesofassam.com.
Beware of PayPal.
