    Did anyone else ever have to go through this review?
    Paypal wrote:
    We are sending you this notice because you have received more than 1,000.00 EUR in total payments to your PayPal account.

    PayPal is required by law to comply with European Union Anti-Money Laundering regulations to collect information from customers when they receive more than the set limit in total payments.

    Please log into your account, go to the Account Overview page, and follow the instructions there about how to provide the required information. These steps need to be completed as soon as possible to comply with this regulation.

    Now, I have logged into Paypal, and scanned and sent scans of Passport and utility bill.
    However, it would seem that they also want business details, which is hard since I don't own a business.

    What's more concerning, is the fact that I have an active multiple-item BIN listing on eBay, so I'm worried that any more payments will be frozen.

    As it stands, I am allowed to transfer the money in the account into my bank, though was hoping to buy, so don't wanna do that.

    So, does it take long for them to decide whether I'm legit or not, and do I really need to "Review" my business details, and/or upgrade to a Business account?

    Thanks for listening/reading!

    You will need to provide "Business Information" even if you are not a business.

    "If you are operating as an individual, enter your email address as your website address."

    If you have provided everything that needs to be provided it shouldn't take long at all to get back in action, one maybe 2 days max.

    Is it that they want to charge business rates as they think the OP is running a business?

    No, I had to do the same.

    It's anti-laundering policy. Once you have a certain amount in your paypal, or has gone thru your paypal - they need proff of id & address.

    Won't go any further. They have your name and address anyhows - they just need proof at this stage as part of their policy.

    Thanks to all who replied.

    Got an email there a few hours ago to say my account is now back to normal.
