PayPal consistently troubling.
 

I have lost now three PayPal accounts. (One that I played VERY carefully.) in using them as a payment aggregate for my legitimate businesses.

PayPal keeps limiting them as a result of ONE minor slip-up that may link it to an account I had with them that has been inactive for EIGHT years. I'm not kidding. I was fourteen, and I literally have no way to access that account and I'm blown away as to how that can even be something they would have in their archive still. I have 100% feedback with over 230 sales on my eBay (thank God that is fine.) and almost $130,000 in total payments processed with PayPal across all accounts I've owned. I'm kind, respectful, and to the point when getting my accounts restored, but none last more than 9 months.

I also never changed IP's (which I know is a problem, but I wanted to test it and it doesn't really seem to matter until you get a customer from one business buying on your other.)

The company is a necessary email. I really wish there was a comparable service out there that had all the compatibility paypal does.

You never changed IP's??

No, surprisingly didn't have any issues NOT changing IP's. I know what triggered the ban now and it was my fault, but I had played the cards very carefully and managed to do pretty well up until the other day.

Hello, if you can ... you tell us, what was your mistake, which triggered the ban? Thank you .

If you're going to take shortcuts in stealth, brace yourself for PayPal constantly giving you trouble. There's a reason why we say change IP. It's not for the fun of it.

Always change IP, new device (cheap smartphones are good, but buy new, not used), etc. Same IP will get you flagged. Interestingly, since family members can have their own accounts, they can share IP addresses as long as none of them get limited. At that point one burned account = all burned accounts. Even similar IPs can result in the account becoming locked.

Have you ever tried Stripe? or apple pay? these are best payment methods for ecommerce pupose

The whole point of changing IP is so that you eliminate any link.

Ebay or Paypal does not care about your past history. One error on any accounts means all of them are toast or at severe risk of getting suspended.
