Suspended after money transfer between 2 paypal Accounts
 

I know I screwed up but luckily I didnt have much money in the accounts.
Here is the story.
I had 2 paypal accounts. Neither was attached to the other in any way that I now of.
I have an ebay account that has been opened for about year or more that I was using for selling some VERO, auto parts, some antiques, camera equipment, etc. All legit with no problems. No problems until I opened a new paypal because my girlfriend got mad at me and threatened not to give me money out of original paypal. she said "anymore money that comes through is mine!!" so I opened another paypal and sent the money from original paypal and sent it to new paypal about $150 first time went through no issue. 2nd transfer sent $300 no problem. 3rd transfer $700 then ebay shut down (MC011) and both paypals shut down. I never attached ebay to the new paypal IT WAS STAND ALONE PAYPAL ACCOUNT. The money is not showing up in either account and im not mailing out the last 3 items because the money is in thin air and doesnt exist anywhere now! they claim they will respond but keep sending me stall letters saying to call them or send in documents or whatever.They are asking for info for original paypal which was already gone through the verification process license and documents and all six months ago. they are also asking questions on the new paypal..im just trashing all of the accounts and starting over. just wanted to let everyone know what happened. im glad i didnt ship the items before they closed the accounts. i refunded 1 guy before they shut it down. so im just managing it so the girls account dont get chargebacks.

Thanks for the heads up. My business friend is always trying to transfer money to my stealth accounts via her legit ones and I always tell her no. She doesn't get it. Maybe your story will make it stick.

yes tell her its an automatic shut down so dont try it.

What triggered that suspension was because
1. It was a new account with no history.
2. You were fine sending 150 and 300 UNTIL you sent 700. Huge red flag. You should've sent 300-400 or just waited a few days to transfer it to the bank.

Plus it's way easier to do BIN on ebay vs just sending it or doing a money request. This doesn't surprise me it use to happen to me all the time.

very true
 

buy it now makes it appear just like business as usual.
I have done that so many times. dont know why I didnt consider it for this situation.
But the girl friend just started speaking to me again so I didnt dare want to send it to her bank account not knowing if I would get the $1200 or not. it was me in panic mode trying to get it out any any cost.

Patience is key to avoiding limitation. Any transaction over 250 is a red flag for paypal. Doesn't mean they limit all over 250, just means someone looks at it.

money still in thin air
 

the money is still in thin air and they are asking for documents and license for both paypal accounts.
how can I get them to end it and return the money to the account so I can refund the last buyer so i can be done with it?
they continue to send stall letters that say "we will get back to you"
I have told them I will not let them check my credit they can go to heeelll. I also told them that I know their mother didnt raise them to work for a company that steals from us.
Paypal is arrogant, they stink.

update!! talked to paypal and THEY SAY the payment should automatically cancel after 5 business days. For Now, the money is still not showing up anywhere. I asked them where is the money? They said its being held some mystery place where I cant get it. so right now cant refund anyone and cannot do anything. They asked to check my credit I told them to go "eff" themselves and I would never let a company like them check my credit. he said well sir we cannot remove the hold until you let us check your credit and fax documents.not even going to waste my time. will use my other accounts.

paypal rep says after 5 business days payment should show cancelled. is that true? if so, what happens then? will funds appear in the account of the original sender of the money?

i only send payments between accounts for £100/week max large payments esp as gift is where u went wrong

Best to spread it around to a few accounts. You could also use the balance to buy visa cards or products that sell quickly from places that let you edit the paypal shipping address and then resell and have the money go to your legit account.

They finally cancelled the payment and money went back into original account. They still have the paypal account limited and asking for documents. We sent them documents 6 months ago. has anyone had to send them again??!!
This is legit account a friend of mine. im not sending them again, they can go to he..
im going to tell them to look at the documents I sent 6 months ago and refuse to send them again.

it took almost 2 weeks for them to put the money back into the account. not 5 days.
