PayPal problems......and a few quid words of appreciation!

First things first before it is suggested that I take a look through the forum pages for the answer to my questions.......rest assured I have already begun studying the art of the stealth account

Great forum inhabited by lots of great minds I've already learned a lot with lots and lots more to come.

My dilemma is this,about a year ago me and a friend began selling pre programmed Android TV sets,business has gone very very well since then.All of our business is usually cash or bank transfer and this has still been very good to us and we have been really pleased with turnover......however I would say recently we have been getting a HELL of a lot of people wishing to use PayPal as a form of payment.

This is where the problems began,sometimes we can sell up to 10-15 boxes in a day (150-220 per box) as you all know PayPal doesn't take kindly to this from brand new accounts and quickly freezes them and demands invoices for the goods we are selling(which we don't have) so we are in need of a bit of guidance on how to eventually get the accounts we are planning to purchase (from a seller on here) up to speed.

Any do's and donts to advise me of? Any rough idea of how many transactions per day/week we need to stick to and also the period of time you would advise to do this? How would you do things if you were in my positions?

I appreciate any advice is not gospel and is for guidance only but I just want the accounts I pay for to have best possible chance of one day being able to deal with the volume of sales that would need to be passed through.

Thanks a lot for reading and ALL input both positive and negative will be taken on board.......I'm just here to learn and anything you do have to say will be very much appreciated.

Cheers all

You would have to build up slowly.

I would start off by trying to find a cheaper item to sell though the account first until its established trust.

It would also be a good idea to have more than 1 PayPal account. The more the better really as you can then spread sales throughout the PayPal accounts.

Definitely need to rely on more than just 1 account

You need to build the accounts first. Selling low risk cheap items. This builds your credability. Once established you can then introduce your product slowly.

More than one account is preferable.
