Shipping Address Blacklisted. :(
Ok so i needed to buy some furniture and instead of withdrawing, i bought a $2500 couch. In the Merchants website. i entered billing address as the PP account and shipping address as mine. Not on paypal. On the merchants website.
A few hours later. my pp account got limited. i called paypal up and paypal told me it's been linked to another account. I am like what the hell. I was genuinely shocked as i know what i am doing!!!! There is no way it could be linked. They told me the name of the person it was linked to and it was one paypal account from over a year ago.
I am 100% convinced that they linked me based on the shipping address even though it wasn't entered onto paypal because i have bought stuff online with paypal in the past. I asked the paypal person if i could be linked based on that and they said they didn't know.
I had $6000 in paypal balance in this paypal account. I was going to use it to buy furniture instead of withdrawing it to a bank account. :( Now i am going to have $6,000 held for 6 months so upset.
So i have a couple questions.
does anyone know if paypal links because i entered a different shipping address on the merchants website?
and
how do i go around this if i want to buy something with paypal and ship to my address?
I was considering getting a P.O box to sent stuff too but most online stores don't send to P.O boxes. :(
