How many UK businesses got their Paypals limited this month?
Just curious as I was also limited 4 days ago after having a 12+ year Paypal Business Account and was even on the list to test the Paypal Mastercard 5 years ago.
I tried contacting their UK support line but was told the waiting time was 9 hours! Why so long? Am I not the only one to be hit by this limitation in the UK this week?
So I am just trying to find out if anyone else from the UK, now outside of the EU, was hit with this nonsensical limitation for such an old and active account. |

I’ve not had an issue with any of my long-standing sellers accounts for personal use at the moment but if I do run into I’ll update...
That is an exceptionally long hold time for PayPal normally it’s only ever 10 to 15 minutes |

what is the reason they gave you for limiting your account? |

| Same reason they give for most. Violation of their Acceptable Use Policy or AUP which is so convoluted it can basically mean anything they don't like but cannot legally enforce.
What makes no sense is i've had this account for over 12 years and the money received has been pretty consistent throughout that time with no changes made to the account since 2016 (new bank account linked) so either this is an algorithm glitch or something that has happened on a larger scale and the only reason I state EU is because the wait time of 9 hours only seems to apply to the UK support number. |

Have you been selling in the same categories all these years?

---------------
may be they have found out this is an old and active stealth account,they never forget any account,closed,open or suspended ,they have new technology which they did not have before. |

Re: How many UK businesses got their Paypals limited this month?
Have you been actively trading for 12 years ? if you only started trading recently the account is as weak as any other account.
Has it been through all the checks ? supplier invoice, 6-12 month forecast / projections, ID + Utility etc ?
Does it have FUNDS NOW activated ?
Without those I wouldn't say it's a strong account at all. Especially in 2020. Paypal have trigger fingers now. |

Re: How many UK businesses got their Paypals limited this month?
OP said it is an OLD and ACTIVE account.
It could be something he is selling or sold,they are known to buy something from you,leave no feedback,file no dispute but wham,you are limited. |
Re: How many UK businesses got their Paypals limited this month?
In answer to all the questions.
Yes Paypal can limit anyones account for ANY reason and not tell you the reason. Although their terms have no legal weight in the UK they usually operate above legality and use those 'terms' as justification.
No its not a stealth account. Its a long standing account since 2008 but really started making a regular income in 2016 so actively trading since then.
Yes it had funds now activated but obviously not available now with it being limited. |
| agent006140 | 02-09-2020 01:28 PM |
Re: How many UK businesses got their Paypals limited this month?
so it is not stealth,then next question is-what were you selling? |

| You know why you were limited, you were selling stuff PayPal did not like.
PayPal does not limit accounts just for the fun of it.
This thread will be two pages long before you spill the bean for folks to realize that you're milking us for answers that you already have in your back pocket.
:violin:
Read this stealth guide, buy accounts here and get on with your business.
Good luck. |

Welcome to the forum tdl - all the best as you master stealth :thumb: |
Re: How many UK businesses got their Paypals limited this month?
Paypal restored and even though you dolts keep repeating this it was not a 'stealth' account. It's a long standing account since 2008 and was even one of those picked to trial the Paypal Mastercard 4 years before it released to the public. |

| We arent allowed to talk about certain things on this forum, but your issue is probably not with what you are selling. All 'creative' accounts are getting hit HARD now. I feel its only a matter of time till we see more getting culled. |

| That may well be your experience, but there are hundreds if not thousands of users here that have a very different experience. I know because I deal with a lot of them. They are just not as loud and confrontational as you which means they tend to listen to advise given to them and don’t refuse to believe that it’s never them at fault for an account get limited. Just my 2 cent :thumb: |

| I'd have to argue that, with my 2 cent :thumb:, as you remove any threads that speak about these new issues we are seeing with PP and UK accounts, so there is no enlightenment or discussion how to patch and create workarounds. Thats what the threads are useful for, nothing about being loud or confrontational, just open and honest. |

Document talk isn’t allowed in the forum - as explained a few times yet you keep talking about them |

| Maybe something for the forum owners to reconsider due to the spaight of changes at PP recently? It would help people be fully enlightened with all the information.
We must gather and share information to ensure the concept of Stealth can continue.:uk: |

This is something for you to be considered. |

| It's probably what he's selling. Had you taken your time to read OP's messages with intent to understand, and not as an inroad to start an argument, you probably wouldn't have missed it twice where OP said his account is legit, nothing 'creative' about it. Quote:

| Quite an extraordinary claim to make. Threads that contain the conversation of these new limitation / suspension are NOT being removed. I know because I bookmark, comment on and continue to visit some of these threads. However, conversation that may endanger the standing of this forum such as explicit fr*ud, phaks or for-ger-ry are routinely removed.
Hopefully you'd someday see the folly in allowing such content. |

| Its not an extraordinary claim to make at all, it's a genuine occurance, but yes, it does refer to talk over the 'creative' elements of stealth accounts, which is the area why PP accounts are getting regularly closed down currently, even aged ones.
We are seeing some big changes in PP' security currently, its valuable to be informed about it.
But yes, I do admit I missed the bit where he said it was a legit account, so I stand corrected on that one. :thumb: |

Re: How many UK businesses got their Paypals limited this month?
The problem is Pathos your sample pool is very small - its not enough to conclude anything from. It can easily be nullified by how your running your account.
You need at least dozens if not 100's in a sample pool to draw any usable conclusions - which you simply don't have any those that do have that do have that you dismiss because 'you know better'
All your posts are reactionary and without any real evidence or substance backing them. I may well be being brutal but frankly its the truth. |

| It's in your financial interest to run that line and with the forum removing any posts contextualising the situation, theres no point debating it further really, it's clear what it's all about. |
