Limitation
 

Sold a few personal items on eBay iPhone 7+ and a pair of Yeezys, even added tracking number same day... same day my money gets released for my Yeezys paypal decides to limit my account. Called them uploaded what I could lady then asks for receipts.. told her i didn't have them then puts me on hold for 5 minutes to tell me that they have came to a decision to no longer do business with me lol.. My account was a business account btw.

Re: Limitation
 

Was this a brand new PayPal account?

Seems that selling an iPhone 7 and a pair of Yeezy's just might be a red flag to PayPal on a new account, don't ya think?

Re: Limitation
 

Apple and Yeezys? I am surprised they even let you appeal. Those 2 items alone are crazy risky let alone the amount of money coming in on just 2 transactions.

Re: Limitation
 

No big surprise as you were selling some of the highest risk items possible.
I can only assume these were your first sales on the account.

Re: Limitation
 

No iv sold a few things before and I had over 15+ transaction made on the account, sad to see how the average person cant just sell anything they have because Gaypal will just end up perm limiting them.

Jonobrodie, you should really get the stealth guide and prevent something like this from happening again.

It's too bad about your current account.

Re: Limitation
 

I didn't want to be " stealth " in my situation I wanted to simply sell items I had personally..

Re: Limitation
 

It doesn't matter if the account was stealth or not. In fact, iPhones & Yeezy's have got to be the highest risk items imaginable. I mean SERIOUSLY high risk- even established sellers may have problems with those items also.

It's not you personally, it's just your activity is not liked by PayPal at all...

Re: Limitation
 

Selling them without receipts was always going to end in tears surely. I am trying to build stealth accounts to support selling such high risk items on them (well not Yeezys, not my thing!), but I would never sell them without having receipts for them - I mean this is a fairly standard thing they ask for these days I understand.

It really is F-ed up when there are ads all over eBay saying "Sell your phone! Make extra cash!"

So an eBay novice takes the bait, sells their $600 phone on eBay, and then has the $600 held by Paypal for the next 6 months.

It's stupid, but I get it. eB/PP are tired of losing money to scams.
