selling high risk items

[slat77]

Im thinking about buying a verified PayPal account and using it to sell high risk items through eBay, I already was successful doing this through my old real PayPal account. How hard can i push this new PayPal account without getting limitations that I can't provide info for?? any advice helps

Why did your old PP go down? If you're selling high risk items and haven't changed your business model, you can expect the new PP to have similar issues, sad to say

I had a shipment get damaged when importing it and had to refund 100 orders that i already sold before the product arrived and it triggered something in PayPal to ban me, they said it was automatic trigger in the system

You will get limited right away after the first sale from eBay if you sell too quickly. I don't know the exact criteria not to be limited for high end items, but they will not let you sell expensive items without limiting you since these kind of items people used the most to scam other people. So if you sell without having established history of selling with them, 99% you will lose your account. and it's very difficult to lift the limitation off the account because it represent high risk to them even though you are honest seller.

PayPal mainly looks at past history on the account. Age doesn't matter as much as past transactional history, however.

If you don't have past history of doing large volume, it doesn't matter if the account is verified or not. Expect to get limited fairly early if you push things too much.

Should I stick to a number of how many transactions and how much money a week so i don't get limited?

There's no set amount but yes, that's what you should do. Ideally you want to make yourself look like a new business growing naturally over several months. Usually if you can make it to the 90 days of active selling mark you can stop purposely limiting your sales.

It's not related to price, it's more related to selling branded items. You might get a limitation for selling $100 item that is branded.

I will tell you from experience with this. You absolutely HAVE to limit sales for awhile on a new pp account. 3 times I went to fast and account was limited(banned) . I was selling risky items on all of em. I wasnt even going crazy but sold 3 $50 items in a wk on my most recent one. Apparently it kicks an alert on new accounts which kicks it to an actual person. Never good. Had I learned from my other 2 than got shut down I would have been smarter and spread that same 3 sales to a month. Trust me..slow and low key for at least 90 days.
