PayPal STEPS... 1,2,3 :Tips + TRICKS... - Page 3

Claire Voyant · 08-14-2008, 03:16 PM

HI everyone! I am new at this. When did Paypal start asking for SS#? I opened an account in May, they never asked for it, account was verified on the Paypal site. Another quick question.I was suspended 7 years ago with my real info. My Paypal can beconnected with a restricted account where my step daughter sent me money. I am going tomorrow to get a new checking account, can I get a 2nd Paypal account? Also have to use a fake name on 2nd one? By the way, I only sell vintage patterns and fabric, so I am not a big $ amount dealer

Thanks in advance

HI Claire--Welcome!
Well-- this and many other questions are answered more in depth in Aspkins Ebook, Stealth..
I can quickly answer a few of your questions:
a.) SSN-- Paypal has always asked for this from me, at on etime or another--or maybe your volume has never set off any triggers yet??
b.) 2nd pp acct-- well, if u are current with them and ebay--yes, iVE HAD A PERSONAL PP ACCT AS WELL AS A PREMIERE BUSINESS ACCT
c.) if-u get restricted by ebay-then pp goes down, and vice versa

hi

as it well has been seen, making too much money too soon or going from $10 sales to $1000 sales has caused limitations.

my questions is if you open up a pp acc and spend 5k off the bat, will they limit you if you arent making any money?

Hi Aspkin,

Two similar BUT different questions:

1. Does that ALSO apply to ebay accounts that were created prior to 11/07 where one intends using PayPal?

2. Does that ALSO apply to ebay accounts that were created prior to 11/07 where one will be selling "cash on collection" (ie not offering payPal) ?

HI:
The rules have changed recently.
Ebay Wants a Paypal acct period.
IF you want to use a merchant acct--they want the merchant acct monthly statement faxed in.

TMiles2564 · 09-13-2008, 04:09 PM

Good posts Ms. Hateluv.

Ebay is losing market share in the US to Amazon. The funny thing is their revenue and profits are up, even though they are losing buyers. Why, some might ask. Well, by forcing sellers into using Paypal, they are making up lost profit from declining Ebay fees by increasing revenues from Paypal.

We all hate them, but they know how to force a profit....

Hi ebayhateluv,
That's very interesting.
How frequently are they requesting a fax of the merchant acct monthly statement?

I have a question. When lifting the $500 min. from your account can you use the debit card from the new bank account tha you created? The bank account though is in my name as well as the card and the paypal account is under my friends name. I know the name part isn't shown but is that also the case with the debit card?

philly387 · 09-25-2008, 12:24 PM

You can't use that card because in order to verify a credit card the name/address has to match the paypal name/address. Just get a simon gift account or something similar.

ParkAvenueChic · 09-25-2008, 12:25 PM

ohhh ok, i thought it was the same idea as the bank account, thanks!

philly387 · 09-25-2008, 12:26 PM

No it is different than bank account. You are very welcome

ParkAvenueChic · 09-25-2008, 12:42 PM

Philly one more question for you, can i buy these cards online and get the card number instantly or do i have wait for them to email me the card?

philly387 · 09-25-2008, 01:03 PM

You have to wait for the email. But for me it has only been a couple hours until the send it. But I have heard a day from others. I have never had to wait very long though.

Lyda · 09-25-2008, 02:20 PM

Philly, I thought PP looks at address and checks the card numbers only..at least that is what I learned here, info others posted. Everybody says PayPal does not verify the name on the CC but address needs to match.
I have too problems lifting my 500 limit as I gave them the new debit card number that has same address and is even from the same bank as the original one, but the name on the card is different. I don't know what else to try, as giving them #SS is not an option for me.

philly387 · 09-25-2008, 02:41 PM

I thought I read in the stealth book to send the gift account to the information on your paypal account so everything matches up perfectly, name and address. I just go the safe route and do that and it works every time with paypal and ebay.

Iwannasell4ever · 10-05-2008, 10:10 PM

ebay cancel my account last week I was selling fine and authetic items
all of the sudden they cancel my auctions and suspend my account now I have to paid them $250 in fees and now all the buyers want $$ back they open disputes on paypal I'd start shipping items but now my paypal account is minus $450.00.This is hell for me since I get deploeyed 2 months ago I;m so frustated.

gurusgrafx · 10-06-2008, 10:29 AM

Yeah paypal & ebay only check acct numbers against the zip code on debit/credit cards as far as I remember. I've been using giftcards for a long time now. As a rule I will not ship any items until the money is in my bank accounts. I'll print the shipping labels the day the payment comes in but its not going in the mail until I've got the money cleared in the bank. Don't trust the cleared note in paypal either. I use to watch that and then ship until I had a few hundred reversed. Always wait till it clears your bank. Its not your money until this happens remember that and you'll be better off.

philly387 · 10-06-2008, 10:34 AM

I was actually going to just start doing that guru...It is a very good idea!

gurusgrafx · 10-06-2008, 10:35 AM

Also if you have an issue like Iwannasell4ever as long as your SS# is not on that account I wouldn't worry about the negative balance. Your account is now useless anyways as it can never be used with another eBay account and Paypal processed the payments so that legal
