Sold my first 2 items today and had 1 paid already. No problem. Currently have 9 items going. eBay did call me lot long after the items were sold and the call was not forwareded to my cell phone by evoice. They left a msg but all it was is the phone being hung up.

what will you do when they limit your paypal and ask for SSN?

As far as I know, you do not have to give them SSN. You give them bank info and credit card info and you just have to confirm the deposits in the bank account and the charge to your credit card. I have never gave them a SSN

they will ALWAYS ask for SSN when you have large amount of money going through your paypal.

I only have about $4000 going through my account every month. Not very much. That is probably why I never had to supply it.

So I have followed the stealth book, and so far so good. I have sold 9 items and have 8 going right now. Making about 3 auctions a day and going strong. Withdrew funds from my paypal account to my bank account fine. Verified my paypal account with simon giftaccount and bank account. Got the $500 limit lifted from the PayPal account.

Hi Philly~~!
I'm watching this thread closely! Its been over a week since your last update.
Keep us posted.

Sorry I will keep updating this.
I sell on average about 7 items a day. As of today, I have sold and shipped out 57 items and have 8 feedback. All positives. I have 20 active listings right now and still running great! It has been about 2 weeks since I have had this account with NO PROBLEMS! So from what I can see, the Stealth Book is AMAZING!!!

Ok, as of now I have sold 84 items and have 34 feedback all positive. Currently have 18 active listings. I withdraw about $50 everyday from PP.

philly -- are you limited to $500 withdraw a month? if so, did u get the limit lifted using a simon card?

I did get the limit lifted using the simon card and bank account. Worked great. Just hoping they don't ask for SS# for a while! I've never had them ask for it before so... we will see.

So, the conclusion of my first month is as follows:
I have used 1 day, 3 day, and 7 day listings. These are all low risk items to remind you.
I have 60+ feedback and have sold 125+ items. I haven't asked anyone to leave feedback, they have all done it on there own.
I have had over $4,000 going in/out of my paypal account over the month also with no problems. That doesn't mean I have profited that much, that is just the amount going in and out. I followed the Stealth book and so far...it works wonders!!!

As of Today, PayPal has limited my account and I have to provide SS# and all that good stuff....so bye bye to this account!!! Time to start with another

Ughh.. that sucks.. complete crap.. How much gross money went through do you estimate?

$8,000 in 2 months probably. Not a lot. The reason could have been because I got my first negative feedback and first dispute on the account. Completely stupid reason the guy gave me too...owell. I HIGHLY doubt it had anything to do with the amount going in/out of the account.

when you say oh well. time to start with a new paypal account, that means you'll have to get a new ebay account as well right? and there goes all your feedback too? because if you kept the same ebay and got a new paypal, linking them would raise suspicion as you moved from one account to the other when asked for SS. Also to verify the new one you'd have to go get a new bank acc also right? Can you just sum up these questions based on how you will handle the situation when you say time to get a new pp? Thanks a lot.

I live in the states and have never entered my SS# to Paypal. When did Paypal started asking this? I thought all you had to do was enter a bank account, credit card info, and both have to match the correct address.

Johnny, this has been answered many times for you, yes new paypal = new ebay, you cannot re-use anything from your previous account.

Also most people assume that the paypal limitation has occurred because of something they did, infact the truth is all paypal accounts will be limited at some point, maybe you will manage to withdraw your funds a few times, maybe it will happen the first time you try to withdraw funds, but this is a fact, you will at some point be limited.

Yes this is something paypal has been doing recently because I never got limited on previous accounts until this one. And all you have to do is follow the stealth book to open new ebay/pp accounts that is what I did. Now I have to create a couple more backups so when this happens again, I'm not losing a ton of money.
