UK PayPal Business accounts permanently limited
 

My 2 UK Paypal business accounts are limited after submitting all the docs, those 2 accounts are never linked up with same address, network or devices. Using 2 different devices with mobile sims and data.

First business account after 6 sales (£480) with my eCommerce website (Mobile accessories) Paypal requested to submit ID, Invoice and tracking information. Then I submitted all the original documents including invoices and Tracking information (All items also delivered on time). After 24 hours of submission my Paypal business account was permanently*limited.

And 2nd account also similar but only 3 sales (£290) with another website. After 24 hours of submission account was permanently limited. Still I am confusing.. where I am missing? Just 35 days of time I lost both accounts.*

Re: UK PayPal Business accounts permanently limited
 

most likely the reason is selling expensive items without sufficient prior selling history

Re: UK PayPal Business accounts permanently limited
 

Was the ID and invoice real?
Are you selling similar items between websites?
Are the items meant for brand name cellphones - using keywords like apple iphone in your titles?

selling mobile accessories it's like iPhone back glass replacement, screen protectors and housing with parts.

Was the ID and invoice real?

Are you selling similar items between websites?

Are the items meant for brand name cellphones - using keywords like apple iphone in your titles?

Re: UK PayPal Business accounts permanently limited
 

according to what you wrote the average transaction value was 80-100 pounds

that is very high according to paypal standards , do you have prior selling history for such transactions on paypal?

Re: UK PayPal Business accounts permanently limited
 

Yes my 1st account have more than 8 transactions, later on another 6 transaction from the website.

2nd account have only 3 sales (£290) with in the website.

Re: UK PayPal Business accounts permanently limited
 

paypal will have a problem with this , you need to collect selling history with cheap items and start selling higher priced items later

sell items worth 1-10 pounds , wait until verification kicks in , get verified , later slowly start adding more expensive items

Re: UK PayPal Business accounts permanently limited
 

Was you uploading tracking? And shipping on time?

Re: UK PayPal Business accounts permanently limited
 

Yes, all the items were posted the next working day with tracking codes.

Re: UK PayPal Business accounts permanently limited
 

But my first 12+ transactions are below £10 wort items. And items sent on time with tracking codes. Probably need to build more selling history with Paypal or something wrong with my websites.

Re: UK PayPal Business accounts permanently limited
 

this is not what you wrote above

Re: UK PayPal Business accounts permanently limited
 

There are 2 accounts, One has got more than 16 transactions, 10+ transactions are from an outside website.Then later on started selling with my website and did 6 transactions within the website.

The 2nd account is only 3 transactions within the website with no other selling history.

Both accounts closed after submitting real docs.

Re: UK PayPal Business accounts permanently limited
 

what kind of items sold? risky categories?

Re: UK PayPal Business accounts permanently limited
 

it is what I wrote , you first sell lots of cheap items , 1-10 pounds each , no transactions with higher prices , after a few months you slowly start adding more expensive items

the amounts you described above with about 100 pounds per sale that is not just much for paypal , it is insanely much for a new account

Re: UK PayPal Business accounts permanently limited
 

correct on the upscale

Re: UK PayPal Business accounts permanently limited
 

Thanks a lot for your valid information, definitely i'll follow your instructions. Can I use this account ID with a different address and device for a new paypal business account ?

Re: UK PayPal Business accounts permanently limited
 

Hope you didn't use the eb or pp apps, right?

Re: UK PayPal Business accounts permanently limited
 

No never used those apps, always chrome or safari browser

Re: UK PayPal Business accounts permanently limited
 

same account ID?
ID as in PAYPAL id?

Re: UK PayPal Business accounts permanently limited
 

I doubt if it is due to selling expensive items,I think Paypal manages to link the 2 accounts.
Are those 2 websites registered under one entity/person?
You said one Paypal account received payments for transaction not from either websites,so where does it come from?Ebay?AMZN?Etsy?
