So here's the lovely story:
My uncle was buying me a nice, cheap game for Christmas on Steam, but nothing was accepted since we do not live in the same country.
So I was forced into doing a magic trick.
I created a new PayPal account, and he transferred me the money required so I can purchase it through my country.
PayPal saw this as odd. I mean, a new PayPal account getting money? Preposterous! They demanded that I provide them with a credit card and proof of address, neither of which are mandatory in the PayPal system.
Of course the support is a bunch of monkeys so they just told me what the Resolution center has already told without anything helpful or seeing the lack of logic in their demands.
They limited my account until further proof that it is legitimate, resulting in steam Disabling me until the PayPal issue is resolved (or if not resolved, my account is dead)
So here I am, PayPal demanding two things irrelevant to the situation and Steam being ignorant,
What do you, my fellow escapists, recommend I do?

take it up with the department of fair trading if they dont solve it ASAP, that's just stupid on both Steam and especially PayPal's behalf.
