Yes i'm wondering that too

This is concerning if this is the case. Is there any further information on what they are asking from customers in these limitations?

If PayPal did not limited accounts for no reason then we would've have gone the stealth way.

I agree every business has look after it's intrest and prevent fraud. But they we millions of millions of stories about PayPal limited people accounts.

I just wish we had a another option.

We do have another option, adapt and succeed at beating them. Research and testing is key at times like these.

It is on the Exact same day the 15th November as the other limited Paypal users :(( and have the EXACT the reason.

Paypal even did not send any email about the limitation or inform about the funds which will be released after 180 days, just simply limited, so my question is if i will get the money in paypal back?? :(((

we are done!!! seems like they are checking the docs with the new method:O

Hi just had 2 more paypal accounts go down same reason as before we need more personal information but no option to resolve the issue. At bottom account cant be reinstated !!!!
These 2 accounts were bought of same person and gone down again

SOMETHING GOING ON !!!!!
i only browsed and put on 2 bids. Used different ip's and new user accounts set up. This is ridiculous.
Anyone else having problems with this
ANY HELP APPRECIATED

We need to look for what these accounts have in common. Aside from the fact they are all stealths and all in the UK, is there any other things they share in common?

What type of phone number was used?

What VCC, or credit card?

What bank?

It just seems to me that if they were now using STRICT verification measures on all of these accounts, then there would be HUNDREDS of users here talking about it, not just a few.

If it is early days of checking, then it's not yet time for hundreds of users to be talking on the topic.

As it stands, there is enough happening to raise concerns.

[momoko]

I think that there are many, they just did not post it here yet :(

[momoko]

Yes agree with GreenBeans, so please let us know if there is any solution or way out for stealth.

Sometimes you need to explore and experiment - and perhaps solve for the forum

I'm still in learning process but most people have bought them accounts from a specific seller. I think it's something to do with ID or bank account when they verify the paypal account.
Similiar pictures, DOB or name can cause limitation as well.
IMO All people should try to buy from other sellers.
PayPal and ebay are gonna split soon. Hopefully it will be easy to deal with ebay.

Serious question. I've got in touch over 18 accounts that got limited. Some have a few 1000 in, others few 100, paypal are not responding on when the funds will be released. Obviously we know legally they can't hold them forever. is this normal on a cull and will they nearer the time message me about releasing them or respond to my emails?

[FlashingBlade]

If it helps anyone the accounts I had limited where not purchased, had an entropay cc, voip for phone (with correct area codes), gmail email and two different banks.

[damac]

lol, Has anyone had a response from paypal when requesting funds, as usually they reply with the typical 180 day thing or rolling reserve yet i've had nothing.

Had the same problem, account limited with the no appeal notice. This was on Saturday(27th) from an account purchased from here. Everything had been fine for about 3 months.

I've made a couple of my own accounts since purchasing the above mentioned account using knowledge learnt from this site and they haven't been affected yet. So fingers crossed.

Do you have other accounts that have been unaffected by this latest 'purge', or were they your only accounts?

[Kiroshi]

The thing is, although this forum is great for sharing ideas, there always remains a certain amount of things sellers and other people will quite rightly, like to keep to themselves.

I'm sure there are several ways / applications / techniques sellers and others use to 'get creative' with id. It could be something where 30% do it one way, 40% do it another and 30% do it the other way, but the first 30% who use method A was flawed in a certain way?

Mine has gone down today, 70+ sales 100% feedback. Had a slightly higher than usual amount into my account from sales over the last few days? Using entropay and Santander bank.

"For reasons relating to the safe use of the PayPal Service we need some more information about you and your account to help confirm your identity."

There's no open case or any request for anything yet, or even a request for docs...puzzled?

[Callidus]

Does it say this limitation cannot be appealed against when you login?
