PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

Hi guys,

I don't know whether I tell you something new or not but PayPal sees all logins to account via VPN service. My account was limited yesterday and I called customer support. Upon checking my account they said that the red flag was that all my logins to account were performed via as they said "hosted IP", which is detected by their system as "not verified".
I logged in to my account using 24vc fresh IP.

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

Yes.. Always has been this way.

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

In order to continue conversation with me they ask me to log in to my PayPal account from verified US IP. Is there any online solution for that?

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

Yup. Anybody can look up what IP's are assigned to VPN companies. The trick is to not draw attention to your account.

I'd say it's all a scam IF I hadn't been running my accounts with exactly the same service for years.

Look into the Luminati botnet.

Also these other ones:

This is not limited to just VPN's, but any provider/proxy service that uses DATACENTER based IP's.

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

so using a fresh dedicated IP from IPburger or 24vc safe?

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

See post #4

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

Yes when you contact Paypal and ask you to login they see it's a VPN

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

All of the VPNs, proxies, VPS are the same. Best is to use the 'REAL' IPs. PERIOD.

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

Always use VPS from Hetzner and It works perfectly

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

I totally agree.
Paypal hate VPN/proxies.
It can cause so many problems withdrawing/limitations.

I always use a real IP, just simply take out a rolling 4Gee 50gb contract for £32.00 p/m then put that sim into a phone or hotspot/router and have your pc connect to it.

4G high speed for ebay and paypal, then when and if you ever get banned. cancel the rolling contract and take out another one. Or, ring them up and tell them you lost the sim card, so they send you a new sim and changes the LLU.

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

This is exactly what i do with mine :)

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

Why getting new sim or new modem/hotspot?
You can use same router /hotspot for many accounts you only need to restart the modem to get different IPs !! That’s it

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

^ for some reason, my ISP only gives like 2-3 subnets. So as much as possible I just buy new sims instead.

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

Are they large subnets? Maybe those are the only subnets your ISP has access to. :confused:

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

My router is a 4g router static and has a very unique hostname for 02.
Its like 182-344-33-32-host.id(IDENT).belkin. or something and if they can flag the hostname instead of the ip as the ident never changes as its part of the router, i like to just get a new router, cheap enough.
I cant really change much on the settings, its just a cheap thing for like 15.00 but its lasts 6 month or so, so i dont mind.

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

So what do you guys think is better for those who cannot use real IPs for the country where their PP is registered? To use VPNs for registered country or real IPs but from different country?

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

Yes, you can use any VPN for Ebay and Paypal.

I used the "abused" dynamic VPN for years

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

Ugh, because when I see a VPN thread I offer my experience? Tinpot man

Phaz0rz is 100% correct

I don't need to "educated myself" about VPN, as I already said I have been using abused IP for years

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

Stop giving poor advice, just stop. :attention:

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

Then you have been lucky - it isn't a sound method of operating

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

It isn't luck if I have used for numerous years, on numerous accounts barely losing an account

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

Let's put it this way, I have used some of the best known shared dynamic IP providers, for example PureVPN, that people are often advised not too touch with a bargepole

I don't need a balanced overview, because everything works for me. I am always unwilling to read your posts though because they are often nonsense.

For those who are confused I would say experiment, perhaps with some less important accounts, for your own piece of mind

There's always those looking to benefit from the disinformation

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

yesterday My Shared dedicated VPN was detected by ebay and my 4 years old power seller account was suspended.

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

how's it shared AND dedicated?

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

I also use shared VPN, if I call ebay or pp I change to a normal IP from my phone, they don't say anything

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

That's rough to hear :( sadly happens a lot

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

My country doesn't have Paypal...So always i will have to use a VPN or Proxy.... So far i have used many mainsteam VPN brands to build Paypal and i would say they are ok.. and i have no solution to do.. Residantal proxies are too expensive for me and i don't think Fresh IP is real as many use VPNs for safety...Sorry for my english guys!

If anyone tell me where can i buy dedicated IPs or Vpns from Malaysia ./philippine that would be great.

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

I use vps normal .You need find good VPN. stable ip

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

i think you can buy one vps usa and use this i think it good

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

It reads "1000$ / month". True? Bu who would pay 1000 for a real ip?

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

Hetzner only gives Germany and Finland locations. How can I use it for a Bulgarian pp?

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

It's threads like this that confuse people so much...there's like 3 or 4 different contradictions in the same thread.

I've used VPN's from 24vc for what seems like forever. I've never a single account suspended on either Amazon or Ebay because of VPN. I've had plenty of accounts suspended just not because of VPN.

Also, I'm just saying was I know to be true, especially this time of year I have seen countless news stories, articles from legit sources and even (hard to believe I know) but I have seen and received emails from many different online stores including ebay/paypal all encourage the use of VPN's to protect the online shopper from identity theft. With all the constant news over the past few years about sites getting hacked and identities stolen etc etc...It just seems incredible to me that accounts are being suspended simply because of a VPN.......not saying it's not true or is true only saying that it just doesn't seem logical that there is so much push from everywhere banks, credit cards, news, on and on about "make sure you use a VPN" when shopping online". and at the same time they completely contradict this by suspending accounts for simply using a VPN...
Obviously, I'm missing something....I dont know why anyone buyer or seller do business/shop whatever online WITHOUT a VPN.

imho

Re: PayPal detects all VPN logins to account 100%
 

Sorry to revive an old thread but I am curious about a question that was asked further up but not replied to...

If I want to access a different account location to my phone provider (if using 4G tethered) so lets say a USA ebay / paypal account, does it raise flags if I do it from a mobile UK network?

Thanks
