What causes one's PayPal account to be limited?

PayPal limitation is a very big problem to lots of users  earning online .

In my opinion I think the cause of the limitations is in two ways,  the first is that PayPal check the track records of every country in terms of the fraudulent activities committed by the users in the respective countries if it is very high PayPal will limit or ban account from such countries. Secondly it also the depends on the financial institution regulations or policies of each countries if it will tolerate full operation of PayPal . That is why the limitations differ from country to country,  some countries can only receive funds but can't send while some can only send but can't recieve funds.

PayPal is very restrict and I just hope they review their policies on limitation of account.

Limiting PayPal account simply means that the owner of the account will not be able to perform certain activities like sending and receiving money and with this it will look as if the account is almost useless to the owner at that point because the reason for PayPal account in the first place is to send and receive money.
PayPal will definitely limit any account that suspected to be carrying out any fraudulent activities.Those at PayPal aren't ghost so they might not know the intent of any account holder so to safe guard everything and investigate properly they will put a hold on any suspected account still some documents are verified and the owner of the account is clarified by them would the limited account be given access again .

I think PayPal is doing a great job in that area.

This is also what I am wondering about. I felt bad for those who cannot their payment through PayPal. It is a good thing that you can have the payment here through Skrill or in cryptocurrency.

In some cases, the Paypal account is limited if the customer is doing a chargeback . There are many fake buyers who will make purchases for fun, and then demand  a refund. In cases there is a delay in refund or other problem, the account may get limited.

PayPal may limit an account in order to protect against potential risks and fraudulent activities. This could include suspicious activity on the account, such as an unusually high number of transactions, sending or receiving payments from certain countries, not having enough information to verify the user’s identity, or the account being linked to another account that has had activity deemed suspicious. PayPal may also limit an account due to a violation of its Acceptable Use Policy, which prohibits activities that are illegal or involve high-risk financial products.

PayPal may limit a user's account if there are concerns about potential fraudulent or unauthorized activity, violations of their Acceptable Use Policy, or legal or regulatory requirements.

One theory is that PayPal is only allowing users who are payment processors to use their accounts. If this is the case, then these users are not comfortable with having their activities seen by others because they are not sharing all of their money. Another possibility is that PayPal is limiting accounts because they have been warned about the potential risks of running a business with them.

PayPal account is becoming limited if you are only using it for minor or few transactions. Once they notice that there are consistent transactions that they though is alarming they will ask you to submit other documents such a valid issued ID, permanent address and current bank statement. It will be under their evaluation if you can already access all from Paypal.

Paypal may limit your account due to security reasons, also if they suspect any transaction to be fraudulent example money laundering. Thirdly, if your account does not meet the policy requirements like submitting the required identity documents, confirming your address, etc your account could be placed on limit.

to protect you from potential losses and review any fraudulent activity. This can happen if your: Account was accessed without your authorization. Bank informs us there have been unauthorized transfers between your PayPal account and your bank account.
