Hello
Just quick question in which year ebay started asking for date of birth as I remember back in days ebay don't ask for date of birth. Only problem is I had few account suspended more then 5 or 6 years ago and then made new account which is running fine with my own details but just made new ebay account few months ago as it's different Ltd company and paypal says has to be differrnt ebay and paypal so wondering it's been ok so far they increased limit after ringing them each month so just wondering can they still findout?

I don't recall the exact year.
As for your account, if you're using the same info...it's risky. I wouldn't call in for raised limits. In fact, I would have backup accounts going and rely on them.

ok here is full story, need expert comments plz
had problem with ebay paypal till 2010 so on may 2011 made ebay and paypal account where all the details were different ebay did not ask for date of birth and name changed little but like ie john smith to johnn, smiith all was ok but paypal wanted to check details online so put real date of birth which i think they done credit check and all ok limit removed all was good up and running on ebay i put compnay name rather then even my own real name,
but then i ring paypal after maybe year and told them i cant add bank account so they removed , from the name and then it was ok
after few month i ring paypal again for something else and and said my name is little bit wrong on paypal its not johnn its actually john they chnage bit no problem at that time sale was quite alot on ebay and paypal
then finally i put my real name on ebay i think in 2012 and had no issue then i sent email to paypal about name chnage for minor changes smiith which they changed it without any issue to ie smith at this time they not asked any id nor any document but on my credit report they done credit search in past
so as money was too much coming had a call from something risk department they put rolling reserve and they also done another credit search i think as shows on my report all was ok,
on that time i register limited company and ring paypal to put my account into limited company which they done on the phone and she said we dont have your id nor proof of address at this time i thought i am done but she said if i upload now while on the phone she will done for me, so i sent my driving licence and bank statement which she checked and convert into limited company,
it was in sept 2014 before this i remember i made another ebay account in march 2014 with my real details and used same paypal not had any issue account is still active, they also removed rolling reserve 20 % to 10% after 3 months and then totally removed after 6 months
now as i wanted to close this ltd company and like to open new one but paypal said i have to close this account and open new account as i cant simply chnage the info or company number, i thought its just this rep on the phone but ring many times and same answer, as i not wanted to do into paypal problems again and i even said according to paypal i cant have multiple accounts but they said no its ok as its separate company u can have two accounts and they said u need to have new ebay account aswell on that company,
I told them i went through many problems due to reserve on my account but lady said once u made account call me and i will speak with compliance team and they will link both account and i will not have problems,
so i done this register new account paypal and ebay with my real info new company verified it no issue, then i ring that lady in paypal she asked me normal info and said i will contact compliance team and will get back to me in 48 hours if all ok
after that she said all ok u will not have any problem, so all well and good
ring ebay stright after making new account and asked them to increase limit without any item list they changed to 300 items after one month ring them again they increased to 600 and then 1200 on that time
I had 21 days reserve on my account then ring ebay and they said its from paypal and then ring paypal they said its not from us and account is all good so ring ebay again and they even removed that reserve,
so my question now will ebay findout about previous account? i am sure paypal will not as so far they are really good with me since 2011 i have business support team and they last month offered me 60000 working capital loan which i not took so any expert advice?

If a human sits down and reviews you on a manual basis, everything will come out.
This is what you are facing now.
You can not rely on a spoken word from anyone.
Even at a pinch, a written word may not count.
Just some comments for you to consider. |

ok sorry here you go in short
had problem with ebay paypal till 2010 so on may 2011 made ebay and paypal account where all the details were different ebay did not ask for date of birth name was little bit different
then finally i put my real name on ebay i think in 2012 and had no issue then i asked paypal to chnage the name which was minor change without any issue not asked any id nor any document but on my credit report they done credit search in past
register limited company and ring paypal to put my account into limited company and asked for id and bank statement which given and verified while on the phone
before this i remember i made another ebay account in march 2014 with my real details and used same paypal not had any issue account is still active,
now as i wanted to close this ltd company and like to open new one but paypal said i have to close this account and open new account as i cant simply chnage the info or company number on paypal
paypal said I can have 2 accounts as its 2 different ltd companies so I register new account paypal and ebay with my real info new company verified it no issue they done credit search as i can see on my report
ring ebay straight after making new account to increase limit changed to 300 items after one month increased to 600 and then 1200.
so my question now will ebay findout about previous account? i am sure paypal will not as so far they are really good with me since 2011 i have business support team and they last month offered me 60K working capital loan which i not took so any expert advice?
