Steps to avoid most all PayPal / eBay problems - Hope this helps!
(it may be posted in the wrong spot if so someone just copy and paste elsewhere please) I do not post much so do not know?
INITIAL STEPS / Walkthrough:
Create Moneybookers.com account - CALL THEM!! to set up 2 day deposits!
Create PayPal account.
Create Your eBAy account.
A fresh start is always best! In my experience, it does not hurt your sells! Only limits the amount of items you can sell at a time. But, with many accounts who cares? Even then Later you can kill off those other accounts using this method and have less work to do! Until they find a cure for this....
Use moneybookers.com as your accepted payment method through the new eBay account or old, whichever!
You will receive the majority of your funds through them!
DO NOT LINK PAYPAL TO EBAY!!!
To take care of those customers who wish to pay with PayPal here are the steps:
1:Make the sell
2. Create a Goods / Services Request through PayPal - USE THE ITEM NAME AND NUMBER FROM EBAY IN THE TITLE EVERY TIME - "throws off buyers" they are less likely to know they are not paying through the eBay checkout after logging into PayPal.
3:Send EBAY invoice with THE PAYPAL LINK YOU CREATED -PASTED- in eBays invoice. You can also send by email or by ebay mail - do not use the eBay accept PayPal radial Button that would defeat the whole purpose!
4. Get your money by Paypal! No worry about account closure / 21 Day Hold - Never Linked!
SERVICES:
We as sellers should all start using this and start PHASING OUT PayPal with eBay, as their radical screw the seller way sucks and they WILL report over 20k a month to IRS as well, all the laws they have hammered down lately - 21 day hold is most ridiculous. That is just some of the problems.
Moneybookers does not - Paymate does not. Simply because they are not US based
Paymate is a bit more tricky to use as everything has to be paid in AUD not USD and it is not really worth the conversion hassle and having it actually get into your US bank account. Just don't use it until they get the US side of things figured out. I hear they are working on doing that now.
eGay:
As you Know if you mess up with eBay and they suspend the account you still cannot sell however, it is easy to just start another eBay account to sell literally no hassle as long as you have a prepaid card to use for their verification! Or you can continue to do the tried and tested routine of having multiple accounts and now it is easier than ever to keep more multiples and still only use the same PayPal account with using this Moneybookers workaround but you will need to set up multiple moneybookers as well. I would suggest no more than 2 - 3 at a time.
YOUR CARD:
Try netspend.com for the prepaid card side of things as they actually give you a Bank account for direct deposits (works well with PayPal and Moneybookers) as long as you don't withdraw money from the checking account side of the card -wont work (which is good if you don't want a bad customer to take money from you ;c) if you get my drift!. You can also literally make 100's of these cards under your own name even! Easier than chase since no credit checks are required. And since it is prepaid, easy tax evasion err I mean well its just easier ;c)
I am also going to put a link to netspend so you can see for yourself! Just add the refering code and they will even give you 5 bucks free. Eh saves you 5 Bucks not a big deal but HEY ITS 5 bucks!??

Oh yeah you don't need to call to activate the card you can just do it on the site. BUT DONT LINK THE CARD TO PAYPAL UNTIL YOU ACTIVATE THE CARD I SCREWED UP ONCE DOING THIS AND I COULDNT USE IT WITH PAYPAL ANYMORE SO WAS A WASTE OF MY TIME!!!

YOUR COMPUTER:
USE A MAC SPOOF TO SET UP AND USE OTHER EBAY ACCOUNTS. Just change the MAC address with spoof software each time you get ready to log into / set up a different account. It is always best to actually keep a separate set MAC for ea account so that eBay does not get suspicious of your account being logged in from so many work stations. Find a spoof that will allow you to specify the MAC address on your own and will generate a new one as well if needed. Keep a simple spreadsheet with your eBay account ID and the MAC of ea one handy so you can just copy and paste your way to victory over these bloodsuckers!!!
