I had just set up a new ebay account following all the advice from the board. Reinstalled my hard drive, new ip address (just walked in to my broadband provider's regional office and switched the cable modem), got a new ip address, set up a new paypal account using my best friends financial information, verified and confirmed it, open the eBay Seller Account, linked paypal and ebay ( I know many on this board appose that but since this was all new account with absolutely none of my name and other traceable digital information I thought this was ok), and listed 10 VeRO items (Real..not ⊗⊗⊗⊗), had bidding on half of them in 2 days, AND then here is what I am REGRTETTING. I wanted some feedback so I purchase a laptop component. I didnt want paypal to drawl from my friends credit card or his bank so I sent funds into the newly created paypal account from my old account that was linked to the suspended ebay account. Less than 24 hours later I got an email from Paypal stating that the new paypal account has been put on limitation due to possible fraud activities...basically frozen. Now paypal wants me to perform 6 tasks in order to reactivate the account including their running credit check on the credit card used, SS number, business forms, contact information for the vendor, and phone number verification and filing out their merchant business profile. Every single tasks must be completed to their satisfaction in order to unfreeze the account. 20 minutes after getting the paypal limitation email the newly created ebay account got suspended for abusing the spirit of their policy. I dont think I am soliciting advice on this message since I know exactly what was done wrong (sending in funds to the new paypal account from my old paypal account)...but I am absolutely shocked that any and all information is shared by paypal and ebay.
