I got 7 days restricted
 

My PayPal are limited therefore I had to put this description in all my listings on ebay, it says "I only accept PayPal or credit card payment, no instant PayPal check out".

I offer 5% discount for buyers who pays via credit card online, so in fact my business goes fine in the past half year.

Obviously ebay doesn't like it. Now they got me this time. What should I say on the listings to avoid they catch me again?

Any ideas?

Do you think payment on collection would be a better idea?

I sell mostly 90% on UK site.

I wouldn't dare put an alternative payment method outside of eBay and giving people discount if they do something for you.

7 days restriction is lucky in my opinion... normally they'd just ban you on the spot for circumventing.

So just put the item details in description and accept paypal. I wouldn't add anything anymore to the listings in this account

You may trigger a total ban by adding additional details top the listing at this point. As said before, count your blessings, accept paypal and move on.

This is NEVER going to work. EVER.

This is why I always say that when your PP is limited your EB account is dead as well.

Some people may be able to get around it for a little while, but 99.999% end up just like this.

Start over again with a new stealth EB and PP.

This is a waste of your time and money.

There is a cool down period for accounts, don't tempt fate by hoping your wording will outsmart ebay

You need to first understand why your pp was limited and, once solved, work with other accounts and spread sales.
