Is there any way to get a "service" payment without getting your account limited?

[vigilantex69]

Is there any way to get a "service" payment from a buyer without getting a new account created under a VISA gift card limited? The total of the payments is $850.00 but I broke them down into two $400.00 service payments and the account got limited. What should I do? This is false ID name account as my real account is limited for 180 days.

safest way is to break it down over a few paypal accounts.

So do you think that if I get a payment for say $200.00 service they won't limit it? What is the limit for receiving for new accounts without putting in a bank account

A lot of new member questions on asking similar paypal limitation questions....all at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

AND.... LOt's of issues surfacing with people have their accounts limited lately!

I mean I have searched the forums, my specific question is not answered. Yes lots of people have asked why is my account limited, but this is a SPECIFIC question about "service" payments in a NEW account with a visa gift card so it does not get limited.

You will find a lot of answers to your questions by trial and error. We all know how paypal is unpredictable, so none can give you definite answer here. What works sometimes, may not work other times. However, if you have new PP account, expect to get limited few times before they will give you green light on anything.

why not use googlecheckout if its just for a service.. less likely to get limited so quick

if it gets limited, then give that paypal asks, and it will be fine.

If you registered with a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name or address, be ready. I have several accounts, and almost 90% of them got resolved. If you are not sure what to provide, ask before you do. If you can get it unlimted, why wait for 180 days?


i discovered many users just leave their accounts for 180 days as their only solution, then you are actually paying money to paypal because paypal earns interests from it. At this bad economy period, money is really important for them

If you use paypal, you are gambling. No hard and sure way to say anything will work. Be very prepared to be limited. Seriously consider using alternative means of being paid.

ebaypaypal....Have you found that once you complete all of Paypals limitation tasks, you're fine?

I have recently completed the tasks asked on one account (delivery info, and invoices), and am waiting for a review to complete. Do you find that the limitations are often removed once the tasks are done? I always thought it was just a trick to make you add more info, but figured I'd try it this time since they weren't asking for a social or address confirmation. We'll see.
