you seriously gotta b joking mate:o

ofcourse all personal anf financial info used to create the account is unique

could u think of something else, mayb a bit more tricky than just the obvious :P

no offence)

[rsot]

Time of setup of each account? What kind of activity have you done with accounts - sales vs. purchases?

...Have you been using your e-mail to respond to eBay messages or do you log in to use eBay messages to e-mail bidders/sellers?

[crazyfrog]

time of creation is great difference probably 2 months

one of the account was created just 1 day ago


both have entropay card associated but ofcourse different card numbers


its not related to ebay msgs.

creating 2 accounts on 1 PC with change of IP is a hit and miss. To be safe have 2 different laptops and 2 different mobile broadbands.

I think you are right. There has gotta be some information ,Paypal are taking as input and that is unique to a pc rather than a windows user profile.

I think, rather than finding out what that info is, its better to use 1 account on 1 pc at a time.

What was the actual message from paypal?
Are you keeping a logs of your IPs?
Different user accounts? What o/s? What about cookies?
I'm not one yet convinced it's necessary to have a pc per account so let's see what we can sort

Hi GreenBean,
Thanks for showing interest in this issue.
While, the rule of the thumb was, when we have access each account from a different windows user profile, then we do not need to worry about deleting cookes/objects/flash cookies /browser history, now if that makes sense?
OS = Windows 7
Paypal has linked me with some other paypal accounts.I don't think there would be any 'commonality' between these accounts.
I have stopped taking log of IP addresses, as I never use the same ISP (Mobile broadband dongle), for two concurrent accounts. (If last account got suspended on o2, then next account will use t-mobile, until heat cools down :P thats my principle).

All accounts use Entropay, and voip numbers, but again both are different.

Paypal just sent me a message saying that due to security concerns, it made it necessary for them to suck the tip of my c**k by collecting additional verification information and my account has been permanently limited.and they the same bulchit for funds i.e. 180 days hold.


I have spoken to them over the phone, many times, and they told me that they have clear evidence that i m being linked, due to the creation of account, the account activity ( i never sell same items so that is rubbish).

I think, they have established some tools where, if something triggers such a serious concern, they might investigate further, and could somehow verify the computer machine, by requesting some info from our machines etc, dont know how much possible is that, so therefore i would say, 1 machine per account. for new account, reinstall windows, and then use it or try a new laptop.
I dont know what else went wrong.
Payent from same buyer ?? but again that buyer account that was mine , has been restored, as i completed the steps.

cheers,

they also asked me to contact , fraud investigation team, paypal inc 2211 sanjose CA, with a legal request to release that info to me , but who the hell would want that, unless it would be under my real name lolz.

[Dude]

Just wondering did they limit u out of the blue or did u take payments in before getting linked? Also how old were the accounts?

[crazyfrog]

after receiving payments. 1 account was 1 day old, other account was 2 months old, and 3rd account was 5 year old (which got restored).

This is not correct. Paypal does not yet have the power or will to see if you use different accounts from one machine if you follow the standard stealth rules. SOMETHING else caused the limitation.

[Imback2010]

you said that you sent yourself a payment from the first account created months before?


Am i getting this right?

[imthatguy]

flash cookies got you or images in email . using same pc will get you hit if u dont know what u doing.....
