Basically I only have this account for donations for my site. I've been getting a lot of donations lately. Also I pay for my server through this account. Today paypal sent me an email saying that my account is limited due:

Apr 20, 2010: PayPal requires accounts within the charity / non-profit category to provide us with some additional information regarding their organization. Your account was identified as falling within this classification upon a recent review. If we do not receive a response, we may have to place limitations on the ability to access your account.

And what they want from me:

1. Voided Check / Bank Statement
2. Proof of Tax Exempt
3. Organization and Payment Information
4. Check Email for Additional Email Information


Should I email them back and say that the money received are for donations to help with the server payments and the payments are primarily to pay for the server? I dont have any tax exempt obviously :P

There's quite a substantial amount of donations there, and I would need to get them unlimited pronto. What do I need to do?

Thank in advancce.

u need to provide them details .
 
Well I do not have any tax exampt since its for my site and its not a charity or non-profit organisation. I can only provide a bank statement. Thats about it.
 
Should I just say that I'm not charity or non-profit organisation and that I manage a few sites and those are donation from members of my site to help pay with the high server costs that I am incurring?
 
well i kind of had same problem.
no its of no use to tell them that it was donation money or etc.
in-fact even if u provide documents or fax them, none is going to help you.
very rarely they would unlimit an account.
twice i gave them, the info they needed, bt it didn't help.
 
well, call them and ask very smartly that "i wish to withdraw my remaining balance. can u issue a check for me??"

Paypal, even when they don't un-limit an acc, will not keep the money with themselves.
these is the only chance u have.
 
Call them and explain, they'll help you(unless u're scared of something :s). Provide them as much info as possible.
If it really goes block, which happens to me once, they allow me to withdraw after 90 days. After that, bye bye
 
What first comes up ... why did you get donations? Did you get them on your warez site?

If that's the case ... don't cry. It's strictly forbidden to accept donations on warez sites.

'(e) items that are considered obscene, (f) items that infringe or violate any copyright, trademark, right of publicity or privacy or any other proprietary right under the laws of any jurisdiction'
 
I don't think you get it ....

Paypal doesn't worry about you having warez or porn sites. There is a big difference between paying for an offshore account and accepting donations on a warez site. The former is not against their TOS, the second is.

For hosts accepting Paypal, it is recommended that they do not especially specify that you may host warez or porn.
