Default Sending money to myself.

Hey guys i am currently having a problem with paypal at the moment. So currently i was trying to send myself money from my stealth to my paypal account but i was going to leave 20% in my stealth so it wont seem suspicious. And i've sent 80% to myself and now it currently asks to verify my phone number by text or by phone. What should i do at this point? Could i add an old phone number i used on paypal? Or will that problem go away if i leave it alone for a couple of days?

Your method is dangerous.
You are strongly linking the two accounts and risks to lose both.

Paypal never forget... you can't use previously used phone numbers and problems will not go away just waiting for a few days... not even for a century...

Agreed, only do this if you are ok with the accounts being linked and killed.

Speaking from past experience too, this is a dangorous way to stealth. Why cant you bank transfer? Also why link via an old phone number when there are free/cheap options.

Add a new number that is working if the one on file is out of actiin. Don't use previously banned information or anything that overlaps with other accounts.

Keep everything link free from now on.

If you want to withdraw money, add a bank account. Its a perilous practice sending money constantly to a 'mother' paypal.

Default Re: Sending money to myself.

So I got a question,
I personally do not like have 30 or 40 bank accounts so what I did was open a website selling some random items. On the site make it known its to private wholesale buyers only and then I will purchase from myself via the website. And pay myself thru paypal. The website has a main paypal with a bank account on it that I withdraw funds to.
I understand what you guys are saying about have a "mother" paypal account and possible linking and it not ending well.
However what do you think of going about it this way?
With a website selling "items" and not just invoices or sending money to paypal accounts.
Just wanted some of your thoughts

As long as you understand the risk, and your willing to pay the PayPal fee's then keep it going.

I had the same issue. I didn't want to risk because I don't have a landline. Who keeps a landline these days anyways? Even with a few real landlines I had it still didn't pass me. Paypal phone verification is flawed. They want it to match the database and they are losing tons of money because of this. Idiots at paypal. Imagine ebay asking for a real landline? WTH. Just buy a real phone cheap one and add the number and see if text works. If it doesn't then wait it out try everyday until it works. It's mainly a security wait of 24-72 hours after having received money or sent.

Yet others have no hassles.

Sighs.
