PayPal limit my account after 10 small sales in 15 days
 

Hi PayPal recently limited my account after i made 10 sales over a period of 15days. My sales are 1-4 USD.
They want documents such as Invoice + ID + proof of address.
My limitation is medium.
So i had a trick to get my limited money out even if its limited.
But the question is .. new accounts even if you start slow can be limited. I guess the trigger of the limitation was here:

- Money what i received got immediately released and it was a digital item.
- I made 2 transaction to my supplier. Within 10 Days.

I think that was suspicious that the money was to fast getting out of the account.
What you think?
Should i add next time "shipping ID number" to give the shipping a trace. As for digital item i mark it just as shipped.
That was for me the first _> this kind of limitation after 2 years ..i create all my ebay and pp accounts and been doing that pretty good :-)

I got this limit too yesterday. Actually totally 5 accounts got this limitation.
It seems it is not about how much and fast you sell, I mean 10 small sales could not get this limitation.
Now I doubt that IP may be a big issue for this limit.

Reread your post stealthbro - potential few issues identified:

1. Digital sales - yes PP doesnt like this but also:
2. You using the same pp to pay a supplier? Once buyer sends payment? PP could see as another issue...kind of like dropshipping but with digital stuff.

I don't know if your appeal will be successful.

I don't know what an "sxxx" is, but it smells fraudy from here. :(

'digital item'.

Nothing else needs to be said.

not really lol

I agree with dallis - its all about the items you were selling. Everything else might have been perfect - those items are digital in nature and as such are very risky.
Nothing more to it.

I know might the error .. so pp released the money right away from my ebay sellings. I start sending payment to another pp. I bypass their usually cant send money at the moment with small amounts .. 1.99 usd 24 hours later 1.99 usd. Then i transferred a lager sum of 99 USD. I guess their algorithm caught it as i was transferred money from not shipped items. And that was putting it on red flag. I can do that with aged accounts but not with a new one as thats triggers pp i guess and it makes sense for me. I will give you updates how the new test works :-) as all my pp accounts (new) money is released right away.. i dont know why but its good hehe
