Off Topic / So, My PayPal account was limited.
« on: July 04, 2011, 01:00:33 PM »
Today, I bought a prepaid visa debit card and added it to my PayPal account. About 10 minutes later, it said my account was limited for "suspicious activity on credit card," which is bullstuff.
I contacted support over the phone, and I told her what's going on. She told me to provide Photo ID. Me being 14 and all, I don't have and ID.
So, basically, I just sat on hold for 45 minutes to get told this "Wait until you're 18 and then we can remove the limitation."
YEAH. I'M GOING TO WAIT FOUR YEARS FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.
I had to literally hold myself back from saying "You're a stupid loving bitch that's four years from now god damnit"
I was also told that now I can't even use this loving visa card with PayPal due to the fact that it's added only to a limited account.
God DAMNIT. I'm really pissed off right now. The only good thing about this is I was going to buy a $100 visa prepaid debit card later, and if I had added that today I would have had $100 down the drain instead of $25.
And yes, I do realize that you have to be 18 to open an account, don't give me that stuff. I opened this so I could buy things with PayPal. Doesn't everyone do that?
tl;dr paypal is loving stupid. rant rant rant
