Limitation Should I try to BS through it?
Ok here is the deal. I have a paypal that just got limited as I was purchasing and trying to make a history with a month old ebay and paypal account.
It has a linked CC
No linked bank account yet
Mobile number (tracfone) is confirmed
Linked to ebay
I bought a few cheaper items and bid on some higher items I knew I wouldnt win. Completely followed stealth. Using a VPN and separate user accounts. Everything by the book.
Was actually logging in to turn it into a seller account and then let it marinate some more. Went to pay for paypal items and there was a problem. Thats when i realized the limitation.
They are asking me to change my password and security questions and business information and well as asking for ID and to add a bank account and confirm it. Although the account is stealth I actually used a name that was a variation of a friends who if needed I could send their ID and probably be fine. The address being different isnt a big deal since I can always say im out of town for a month or 2 for work or to take care of a family member or whatever. i also dont want to burn a bank account if the account isnt going to be unlimited
My question is should I just send in all the info or should i call paypal and try to get around it. I have been around long enough to know that a limitation like this usually doesnt require everything. I get the feeling when I started using the VPN the system caught it as a different IP and wants me to check in. I truely feel like if I called and played a little dumb they would lift the limitation especially since I've bought like $5 worth of stuff. To say we need your ID for that is a bit crazy even for paypal. I've gotten around that type of stuff before. But I also feel like if I just did everything now it would make the account much less susceptible to a limitation in the future and may let me sell unharrassed for awhile.
Would love some input. Thanks.
