    Paypal have just recently done the same to our charity account. Account restricted until we answer all their questions and provide various documents. Best one was a blank cheque dated within the last 6 months :D
    Sent them our web pages from the charity commission which seemed to satisfy them. The restriction has been lifted anyway.

    Well if they had declared that they were a charity (as you are meant to ) when they opened the account they would not have been in that situation.

    Charities must declare that they are when opening the account not onlt does this give them reduced fees it stops accounts being frozen. So in this case as in JohalaReewi charity it sounds like the accounts were set up wrong to start with

    Why does everyone think Paypal are Psychic?
