Actually, you guys are wrong on this occasion.
I went to pay for my website, and was going to use paypal as I have done
before.
Selected that option form my web hosts, which then went to the secure Paypal
page, but when I went to pay ot, the message was that I had exceeded my
credit limit.
I dont HAVE a credit limit, as all payments are deducted from my credit
carrd right away.
On looking through their site, the terms have changed and they seem to be
pushing everyone to use Direct Debit ratehr than Plastic.
Take a look at Paypals terms, and their requirments at:
https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/ua-outside where it
says:
"In order to send a total of more than £500.00 GBP through our Service we
require you to provide us with additional identification or complete your
membership enrolment as described below. We require this information to
authenticate your identity and to determine how much you may transact with
your account."
Apparently, they will allow me to receive money (which I dont want to do),
but not to pay for goods.
As I have only used them some dozen or so times over the past two years, it
will be no great loss, just a minor inconvenience.

As Al and Jesse have said, this is a pure sham. You should find your paypal
account operates as normal. I've had tree of these so called messages over
the last 18 months and ignored them and just carried on as normal.

Subject: [modeleng] Paypal revisited
I know we had a thread about Paypal some weeks ago.
Was there any conclusion?
Did anyone have any suggestions about Paypals methods etc?
The reason I aks is that they have now limited my purchases to $14.
Not $154 per item, but a total of $14 which is all they will allow me to
spend.
Cant buy much with that!
It seems the only way to raise this limit is to give them a Direct Debit
from my bank (which isnt possible), plus some confirmation of my address.
As all my purchases via them have been paid with a credit card, which they
have accepted, and they confirm that the address one gives si the same as
the CC company has, I am at a loss to see why they have changed procedures.
