I just wrote this email for a member that inquired with me. Maybe it will be helpful for others.
I'm assuming that you're selling items on ebay. I quit ebay a few years ago and now use my paypal accounts for something completely different. For that reason I'm probably not the best person to give you advice on ebay but I can tell you a few things that I've learned about PayPal over the years.........and over 300 accounts later.
- You have to log into PayPal from the same IP address every time. The last group of numbers of the IP address can be different but the first 3 groups must be the same. I used HMA (Hide My Ass)for years with great success because they provided this option. They pretty much suck now. Just an example.
- Card doesn't matter as long as PayPal accepts it. I've used green dots by the hundreds (which also provide a bank account for withdrawals) and now I'm using another questionable card company with no problems.
- Cookies don't matter (as much)if you log in from the same address
- The telephone number you use to set up the account is like gold. Lose access to this number and problems begin to multiply
- Always make the account a business account
- Obviously start slow and small. I always hated this idea (and needed the money) so I would open 20 ebay and 20 PayPal accounts and start slow and small in each.
- Don't waste your time with limited paypal accounts. 9 out of 10 attempts to satisfy their request will ultimately be denied. Unless its just the change security questions limitation which is easily passable.
- Think of limited accounts as a forced savings plan. You will get the money after 180 days. PayPal actually plays straight in this area.
- I started using whoer.net to check if my IP address was Blacklisted and fix my DNS leaks (not sure if this is necessary but it makes me feel good).
- I once read on this forum: "Put yourself in paypals shoes" and it changed the way I operated. They are in the business of risk and just like everyone else they dont want to lose money. They are bigtime which is an advantage and a disadvantage for us.
I could go on and on but I think you get the picture. Feel free to ask me any additional questions concerning PayPal.
My accounts are being limited (actually suspicious activity hold) because HMA **** the bed on me (I can't access the exact IP address every time) and I've lost access to my phone numbers (the cocksucker that sold me the google voice numbers has decided to change the gmail passwords on me......for some unknown reason. If I knew where the Banglaeshi mother****er lived I'd fly there tomorrow and strangle the piece of **** personally. Serenity Now).
I'm definitely not the guy to talk about ebay with. Hopefully you've read Apkins
Stealth Book. If not, you need to. Gold.
Good luck
