PayPal Doom and Gloom!

usaamah426 · #1 11-16-2015

So guys, as we all know last year in November/December PayPal began to kill many many accounts. I'm sure a lot of you were affected as so was I with 2 stealth accounts.

Always a lot of activity around this time of year, so what do you think PayPal will be up to this time?

Anyone reckon everything should stay fine or do we have something to worry about?

Do everything rock-solid, do not cut corners, do not use free / cheap solutions, sell nice stuff, learn PS a a God, and you are safe.

For once, you said something spot on

three of mine gone already in the last 2 weeks. All long standing water tight accounts, fully verified. Take precautions. Do not leave funds in your pp. make backups.

Always have backups cooking.. especially in the business holiday season. I'm not worried personally... I know stealth.

Hope you solved out the reasons...

Never lost one last year, never lost one this year....yet.

That isn't to say it won't happen, but I think it is easier for people to say at times 'it's a cull' rather than ' I f***ed up'.

Most of the time it is the account operators fault, however this time last year was dreadful, and i'm sure a lot of people would agree with me. Lets just hope for the best

You may as well sell and make as much money from your accounts as you can. PayPal were also culling sleeper accounts and accounts that weren't being used to sell items.

Who ever loses an account, could you please share a bit of info regarding the account? If you lose an account then its lost already so why not perhaps share your setup or qty/amount you've put through the account.

Not that into what you are selling, as its personal and I'm not after anybodys category, BUT would be interested to see if there are ANY connections between the culls- Amounts, qty, returns, disputes or anything else.

I haven't lost any accounts myself, just yet, but I'll just be extra careful...

Callidus · #16 11-19-2015

Culls last year had already started at this time. Will be interesting for sure

Interesting is for sure one word I'd not use to describe the situation

True but it is important to note...

Tekko · #19 11-19-2015

Out of curiosity, how much money were you guys roughly receiving in your affected accounts at that moment? Were they bought or created by yourselves?

Perhaps we could try to find a patron.

I was receiving around £500-£1.5K a day due to the increase in sales around this time of year.

What we really need is to have at least one person on the forum work for PayPal�� An inside man would be amazing lol
