PayPal Account

I don't know if this is the correct section?

My PayPal account has been restricted, had it since 2005, until I give them photo i.d., proof of address and this "politically exposed"thing. What's that all about? What's the relevance?

Until I provide the information I am not able to do anything using the account.

They can get lost, I'd rather not use it anymore.

I’d never heard of this but a google search has returned some interesting threads

Thanks soolin, bizarre.

I'm tempted to select "yes" and wait for what happens.

But no, "They can get lost, I'd rather not use it anymore."

Sorted, I closed the account.
