eBay MC011'd. Paypal Alive - How to Liquidate Effectively?
 

Hey forum members,

Just want to say this community is awesome, shout out to everyone for helping each other out. And shout out to Plumsake for great stealth accounts. Currently have 10 and going strong!

However, today one of my eBay accounts got the dreaded MC011 e-mail. They want drivers license, docs, everything. Yeah, sorry eBay you ain't getting zip.

On the bright side, the Paypal associated with it is still alive, and has about $2k sitting in there. Now, I know this is a time bomb and any day now it will be limited, soooo my question to you veterans and anyone with experience: How can I liquidate this the most effective way without causing suspicion?

For example, after I got the eBay restriction, I sent $250 to one of my other stealth biz accounts via goods and services. And had another one of my other accounts request $300 also via goods and services. So today I was able to liquidate $550 out. Now what about the other $1.4k?

I was thinking buying **** from Nordstrom..something I can sell later on. Or maybe buy an expensive plane ticket. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Just because you got an MC011 on Ebay doesn't mean the attached Paypal account is going to die also. Chances are the Paypal account won't have any problems. I got one of those restrictions on an Ebay account in February and I still use the Paypal account to this day for a few wholesale customers.

Anyway your options for liquidating the Paypal are the same as always. Your best option would be to withdraw the funds to a bank account. You could also buy inventory to sell on other accounts, buy from yourself and transfer the funds that way, or send invoices between your Paypal accounts.

@phaz0rz thanks for the tips. You have no idea how much stress you have relieved me.

Just a quick question: since the MC011 only applies to selling on eBay, does this mean I can freely buy on eBay without problems?

Like you said, a business needs positive cashflow to operate, and it'd be a shame if I'm unable to reinvest this money back into my business.

Correct, you can buy all you want with that account at this point. To the best of my knowledge you only lose the ability to buy if you become "suspended."
