Hit the limit on 2 paypal accounts, Advice/can this be sustained?
Hi, (The first 4 paragraphs in this one are introduction/background, the question starts on paragraph 5)
So I started selling again 3 months ago after coming back from a 6 month absence after ebay banned my account for a silly reason.
I made 4 new ebay accounts since then on a new IP adress, new paypals, and new bank accounts and phone numbers.
However the 4 new accounts are almost certainely linked to each other because i would log out of one and straight into another without so much as clearing my cookies.
Bizarely, one ebay account got limited pending adress and identity verification as soon as it sold something.
That had me worried big time, but i left it alone since then and the other 3 have not been affected.
The paypal account i made for this also got limited as soon as it recieved money, so it has €15 trapped in it. meh. paypals now i guess.
The other three ebay accounts have gone well, so well in fact that i didnt need to use all three and dropped down to two.
Both of these two had seperate paypal adresses, although i since used both paypal adresses on one ebay account after hitting my first 2.5k limit, so theyre definetly linked.
Now ive hit the 2.5 limit on the other paypal and so i either need to prove my identity or continue making new paypals.
I possibly could prove my identity using my own documents - I never gave this photo id or this adress to them before, however i did give them my passport photo about a year ago before they banned my account.
Do you think they will recognise me if i submit a new id? It seems unlikely to me, its just a photo and they arent asking for a Social security number so i dont really see how they would link me back to there, but of course if they did that would be possibly disastrous.
Also its probably very relevant to say that i have been sending money from these two paypals to another paypal account that has been using the same network as my previously banned account. My main conern was getting the money out of there rather than protecting the long term integrity of the account. Paypal have not said anything about it though.
For these reasons, despite have 300€ trapped in 2 paypal accounts that i cant withdraw, Im thinking its not worth the risk and i should keep making new paypals and opening new bank accounts and all that until i cant anymore, or buy someone elses paypal account. And I could always refund a few people and get them to pay again and perhaps be able to retrieve the money that way?
For now anyway, ive set up a new paypal with a new bank account and new phone number, after this one though, i think theres only one more bank in my city i can create an account with.
So i will be facing this problem again in 1/2 months time.
Advice?
