How to prevent PayPal limitation for 3rd account
 

My PayPal was limited, then they linked my wife's to it and limited hers. I have a business PayPayl account that has not been limited. Plan on calling them to see if this can be fixed, but in the mean time:

Are there steps I can take to prevent the 3rd account from being limited too?

Thanks!

Ok, STOP doing anything right now... don't call, nothing....

I don't know what you are doing or how you made your accounts or anything.
Plus you never told us why it was limited or any other details...

I suggest you start fresh from the very beginning and just read the stealth guide.
Then once you understand more, come back to the forum to ask more questions.

Welcome to the forums - all the best as you master stealth :thumb:

As a baseline, consider all these accounts compromised - make backup accounts a la stealth - provide more details as Saijin indicated.

The third one is a zombie account, it's walking and moving but one day soon it'll be truly dead.

Probably when you've just gotten a big payment.

Drain it dry and transition to new accounts and PP's. I know it's tempting to keep using it, but cut your losses and move on, cause when you play with fire you're going to get burned.

The accounts were made a long time ago for eBay. Used without major problems for years, fairly active, sometimes a couple of thousand dollars a week in buying/selling.

My account was oldest, was limited first...email from PayPal said:

"We have recently reviewed your PayPal account activity, and determined that you are in violation of PayPal's Acceptable Use Policy regarding your sales / offers on uptobox.com.

Please remove all references to PayPal from your website/s and/or
auction/s. This includes not only removing PayPal as a payment option, but
also the PayPal logo and PayPal shopping cart.

Under the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy, you must obtain pre-approval to
accept payments for file sharing, BitTorrent, Usenet websites, newsgroups,
or similar services."

I don't have anything to do with that website, but an affiliate may have funneled their payments to me. Not for sure on that...just sent them an email about it today. Receiving payments from that affiliate is the most activity my PP account has seen, sometimes several thousand dollars a week for multiple weeks.

Second account was my wife's, which has it's own eBay account. Hers was limited because it was linked to mine. I used either of our laptops to log in to either account, both accessing our home wifi, both probably sharing some card/bank details, and address probably too.

Third account also has a different eBay account, and is set up as a business PayPal account.

I have not logged into it since the others have been limited, but I know to use an IP address not associated with the other two computers/accounts. It has probably shared all the other things the other two accounts have at some point...computer, wifi/IP address, card/bank, physical address...but I'm not sure and am afraid to log in to check/change/remove those things.
