I f*cking quit. Thanks Paypal

Yeah sounds like a few mistakes were made, and just in case you made some errors with your VPN/IP’s etc etc, its sometimes easier to just get a hotspot.

I switched to private proxies networked into the settings on Firefox portable, and then use a single VPN to access all my accounts.

costs $1.50 per IP and I have had ZERO problems linking since. and the IPs are colocrossing which are supposed to be awful... they are not.

I manage a dozen plus accounts at a time heavily, with 30 total active accounts/IPs. Costs minimally per month.

I am able to have multiple windows(accounts) open at once and never fuss with separate user accounts, and if my VPN drops, the proxy instantly drops removing any need for a killswitch.

they also work for Amazon Stealth beautifully.

Hmm... This sounds like a very affordable method.
If it wasn't for your success with it, I'd think of it as a dangerous way to run multiple accounts.


I'm looking to move away from VPNs. In my experience ( which serves as nil evidence ) I have had problems with PayPal that I suspect VPN either contributed to or would have been resolved without the use of it.

Some small websites here in the UK won't let you access their services even with a 'clean' VPN IP address. Furthermore, the trust/fraud score is usually low with VPN IPs.

I think we're lucky to have PayPal allow sellers transact with it. I have no proof, and it is just a suspicion, but I think PayPal view VPN connections with suspicion despite permitting it.

I'm beginning to lean toward mobile device IP addresses. Cross-checking IPs to prevent linking will be a pain especially when a large pool is involved, but maybe a little programming would help.

You're always a big help, JamesNorth101.
Thanks a lot.

My ebay(which I miss dearly lol) was 10 years old, 10k feedback, top rated and suspended thanks to my stupid husband because he forgot to ship 3 items & they linked our household. I have spent and lost $1000s of dollars since my ebay was suspended last december. I currently have 4 accounts between $100 & as of yesterday a paypal limited with $3000 in it. I have followed the protocol to the T. With this most recent paypal, is real, the ebay&paypal were over a year and a half old, fully verified, 400+ feedback. Someone bought my entire inventory friday and i was limited less than an hour later!

The ebays have been frustrating because the 21 day hold, for me anyways, has been lasting for the entire 90 days!!!! I have no choice but to let the funds sit til the amounts clear. I have been operating 5-10 unique IPs(fresh and expensive each month) selling slowly, spreading inv out, etc. Plus the cost of buying the f*ckng accounts, time at the bank opening multiple accts, cost of inventory with a slow hardly there cash flow and bleeding money by the day just to keep the privilidge of selling.

This limitation stings because I got the account from a friend who takes a percentage of my sales. I thought lifting the limitation would be easy. We sent the real id and real invoice. They didnt ask for anything else which i thought was a good sign. We both literally spent the entire weekend on hold with paypal from multiple phones in a never ending and never answering loop. Finally today someone helped, asked my friend credit check questions, one she failed, and like that without even looking at the docs limited the account permanently. I sorely regret calling. I would say my friend didnt even fail the question, she was unsure and the man interrupted her. It was about a term on a student loan. Who tf knows that off the bat???

Welp, paypal broke me today. ALL of my money i use for inventory is gone for 6 months. My friend never really used paypal and doesnt mind but damn. I cannot take the mental stress any longer of either ebay or paypal f*cking with me.

I wish there was an alternative. I have heard amazon is 3x as bad.

Making money is a hobby that will complement any other hobbies you have, beautifully., you give up you fall down, work on your mistakes you will have positive outcome

mistakes makes you perfect if you can cover them
master the stealth, take time it will be worth

its a hate love relationship with paypal and ebay

I'm happy the OP quit.

[SaiJin]

Why are you happy he did?

[usmarking232]

I think the alternative available is Skrill

Less competition for the sellers who remain.

It's a dog-eat-dog marketplace. The void left by this seller was probably filled within minutes.

That is the first mistake. You can set limits for buyers to only be able to purchase 1 item.

Ouch.

We would go under within a month without our bulk buyers. I wouldn't call allowing larger orders a mistake, but, to each their own.

Put a limit on how much a buyer can buy

depending on the reason quitting can be a good thing.

Volume is could be the problem. Or the category your selling in is now a lot more strict.

Your issue sounds so close to mine. I had no issues for 10+ yrs and within 1 week. issues left and right.

I have had this late shipping issue problem also.

Maybe a coincidence, but I didn't get email sale notification on 2 accounts and both got suspended a day later. hmmmm
