This may be my latest problem. I use a lot of ebay and paypal accounts. However, up until the past couple of weeks, I haven't had many issues. Now, every time I log into an account, it becomes limited on the spot. Could this be the reason? My first limited account was a few days ago. It was a brand new Paypal account that I was opening for future use. When I signed back in to add the bank account, it was immediately limited. This was without any sales or activity. I thought this was weird but figured it was just Paypal being Paypal. Then, today I went to empty out two of my newer Paypal accounts. The first one told me that my account was compromised by a third party and that my account was limited. They told me to change my password, security questions, and verify my location. I did all of the above and it was still showing that my account was limited. I called the guy up Paypal for an explanation. I was asked if anyone else was using my account and if the ebay sales were actually mine and then the guy was quiet for like 3 minutes "reviewing his computer screens" he told me. Then he told me he was going to lift the limitation. I got my money out.
Then, I tried to empty another Paypal account later in the day and they immediately limited that account and I started adding tracking numbers. This time, the checklist included a social security number (which I cannot give for obvious reasons). I have not called yet.
Any ideas? Is there something else I'm missing that is new?
