Why is PayPal so Strict?
 

why is PayPal so strict nowdays?

I swear i have over 10 PayPal accounts all limited Paypal has $11,000 of my money in all the accounts and i have to wait 180 days for each account.

I remember back in 2011 you could go 1-2 years without getting limited, now its 1-3 months.

all i do is drop shipping but i always get the items shipped on time, even when i start making tons of sales they limit my account because im doing good, doesn't make any sense to me,

I have some tricks up my sleeves that i am going to try and hopefully get my money back on a few of my limited accounts.

Youre deceiving paypal and not following their terms of service. You break their rules and they dont appreciate it. Nothing strict about it.
You do stealth better and you wont have issues. What you need to do is be stricter than paypal and avoid giving them any clues as to the fact youre breaking their ToS - which you agree to every time you sign up for a new account.

That's the spirit!

Well as you said, they limit your account after doing a tonne of sales. Stealth means going slow and steady on new accounts. If one week you are selling 5 items a day then the next it jumps up to 10 then you can likely get limited. Paypal will want to know what who they are dealing with.

Having ten accounts limited should tell you that you're something wrong.

Can't you give them what they ask for?

this is the only way i am making any money right now, I wish i could take it slow, but i have to make a living, and pay bills, I work a few days a week so it also helps

I wish there was some other website i could use besides ebay for Drop shipping, I have tried e-commerce websites and advertising everynow and then on Facebook, but all i get is likes and no sales.

I have several applications for merchant accounts and i am waiting to see which one gets approved. my credit isnt that good so some have gotten denied or the items i sell is high risk, most the items i sell are Exercise equipment, furniture, swing sets, mostly anything outdoors.

I am not sure if there are any High Risk Merchant accounts out there, but would be nice if i could find one.

Didn't know furniture was high risk. But thanks for the list of things to dropship because I was running out of ideas :bird:

Re: Why is PayPal so Strict?
 

Why not consider using separate paypal accounts then for dropshipping - one to buy on and one to sell with? PP can be very tough on blatant dropshipping

has anyone here had any success opening a Facebook shop?

I opened a store added Stripe for accepting payments, purchased $100 worth of advertising so far not one sale,

Perhaps it be best to join some sales groups or local sale groups to begin selling. You say you can't afford to go slow....well going fast doesn't help either, either learn to go slow or get used to getting limited a lot.
