How long Paypal taking these days to verify docs....

[randomebayer]

How long are they taking these days?

Last time I sent in the docs had them verified within a few days.

Send them in last weekend, not had any response yet...

I have put my listings on hold until the verification is complete, do not want to get my funds stuck in.

It can take upto 5 weeks

[Bunneh]

Some of mine are on the 6th week :(

[muzzie]

If you just send them in when they don't ask - it takes around 6 weeks. If they demand them - 1 business day.

[stepl]

Took mine 4 or 5 days, though that was after they had requested them.

[randomebayer]

Thank you for the reply guys.

Got a response from them today and sadly it is bad news.

They said there is excessive risk involved with doing business with me and that they would like to begin parting ways, they will begin with a 6 month hold on my funds.(Luckily I stopped selling as soon as they requested the docs, there is only enough funds in there to cover the eBay invoice)

Disappointed, I have a feeling it is because of my shady photoshop skills, should have used one of the services available from the community sellers. (Having said that I have once before passed docs checks myself)

This was a top rated power seller account with 100% feedback and 500 selling limit.

I have another account heading the same way, wont make the same mistake with that one.

I had exactly the same email this morning - account suspended due to excessive risk involved... gutted... do you think its due to the review of the transactions ratehr than the documents???

[rsot]

Also can depend on WHAT you are selling and withdrawal frequency...quite a few factors

[richie2065]

Oh and the wait time from submission was 5 working days - as of last week

[wrighty]

Can I just ask if any of you guys used a mail forwarder as your address to register with ?
As I found out the hard way its not good to use one.

[randomebayer]

For me I am pretty sure it is due to the documents and not any other factor.

I was selling very very low risk items and low value too.

Withdrawals were low amounts and not very often.

[richie2065]

thanks for the info randomebayer I also heard the same information from other sources too

[randomebayer]

Got the all clear on my 2nd best account. (Having lost my first)

A big thanks to @Ebayorbust

that can sometimes be an issue in my eyes

I have been waiting 8 weeks for docs to be accepted

Do u think it's a good idea to call them up or just sit and wait longer?

[Callidus]

Avoid calling! Get the wrong rep and you're finished. There's more bad reps than good, trust me I have a list!

[Baffled]

On my 8th week too.

Would be disappointed if it takes more than 3 months

[Ebayorbust]

I've got some at 11 weeks so don't get your hopes up.

[bluemonkeys786]

So is it best just to sit an wait?

Will they definitely do something about it?

I don't want be here 3 month down the line with still no answer

[Ebayorbust]

I'm just going to sit tight and wait.

I'll not post on here exactly how many sets I've got pending at the moment but it's a lot.

[bluemonkeys786]

OK thanks ebayorbust I just sit tight and play along with their game

Strange, I sent some in and got them approved in five days, about two weeks ago.

This was post EU notification though.
