Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
Paypal permanently limited my BUSINESS ACCOUNT. 
Here 's what happened : Paypal asked me if I owned a PAYPAL PERSONAL ACCOUNT beside my PAYPAL BUSINESS ACCOUNT. I replied " YES ''. 
Then asked me If I already solved the problem regarding my personal account. I choose " No, because the document I sent is still under review and I have to wait for 5 days. 
For this reason, Paypal limited my BUSINESS ACCOUNT without waiting for the result of my other account.

Paypal took 3 weeks to restore my PAYPAL PERSONAL ACCOUNT.

So I think that it was a mistake on Paypal 's part not to wait for the results of my other account before they limit my BUSINESS ACCOUNT. 
Hoping for that kind consideration to remove the permanently limit on my BUSINESS ACCOUNT because I use it always on my online transactions and this is where my boss sends the money from my weekly work. Thanks!

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
In summary, Paypal won't close my account without me sending them a full credit card statement from my bank with all my personal info, or making 2 deposits to my now credit card ( not an option due to them being closed ). 

A couple months ago, I received 2 fraudulent transactions for low amounts to XXXX XXXX 's ( <under {$20.00} each ). I have been a member of Paypal for almost as long as they've been a company, and haven't reported a single fraudulent transaction. I reported these as fraudulent with Paypal, but got denials hours later. I then reported them to my bank, and after a short discussion, decided to cancel the card and called Paypal back to close the account. I figured I got 'lucky ' with the low transaction values, but concluded that Paypal ultimately will not protect me when I have an unauthorized transaction in the future. 

Paypal said they couldn't close the account because the reported fraudulent transactions still needed to be completed. I called a bit later, and now I couldn't report it because my bank has an open case investigation on the transactions too. I then waited a couple months and called them back. They said they need to 'verify it's me ' by either making 2 small deposits to the most recent credit card on file, or that I needed to send a full credit card statement in to do so. Seeing that the card was closed, I only had one option. I refused because Paypal does not have a right to view my personal credit card statement, which has quite a bit of personal info, as well as my credit card transaction history. I did not want that on file, and asked the XXXX XXXX that there had to be another way to prove I was who I was. She said it was impossible. If I can access the account, make all sorts of changes and even transactions with my login info, email, and knowledge of my personal info, why would I need more to close my account? It seems deliberately frustrating so that people will avoid closing their accounts. This has been a downright frustrating and offensive experience.
