Confirm your identity to continue using your PayPal account
 

One of my stealth accounts has been limited after having a balance higher than $750.

It's limited, I cant do anything. Cant send money, add a bank account, etc. This isn't just a warning message.

They have asked me to verify my identity, but haven't given a time frame in which to do so.

The account is using ⊗⊗⊗⊗ details - if I change the PayPal details to a real person/address now, do I have any hope? Or will PayPal see this as suspicious and close after i upload real docs.

Should I let it go 180 days, or are they just shutting accounts down now after 180 days. I've never really had much luck with the whole 'leave it for 180 days' method.

This is an account I've had for 2+ years, but it has received a few eBay infractions over the year. I've only ever been able to list 10 items a month on eBay. I believe this is relevant as paypal/eBay share data.

If anyone can give a step-by-step of what to do, that'd be appreciated.

Changing info to a real person would not help ,that much i am sure of .. I know some that works out the needed docs. This is USA advice btw

I wonder if them sharing data breaches GDFR rules

Unfortunately based on a personal experience it won't work without the exact info you've mentioned to them , you must provide them an id with the exact info you've provided in the first place .

No no, don't change anything. It'll make it look even more suspicious.

you need to work with the account info as is and be more creative about it.
If they say 180 days... most of the time you just need to wait it out and make sure you have a bank to withdraw the funds to.

I highly suggest you start making ebay stealth accounts right now and if you don't know how, get the stealth guide.

10 items per month is normal to start, but I've always had good lucj where it organically increases by 5-10 fold in a short period of time.
I feel that if you do it right in the beginning, you'll have similar results to mine.

Other members also have tried calling in after a certain time to increase the selling limit, but I'm always paranoid and rather have it increase on its own based on my selling history
