Paypal limited after first payment
 

My stealth accounts have been recently getting limited after receiving first goods/service payment, getting asked for photo ID etc. Anyone else experiencing similar issues?

quite a few posts about this - more details needed about your setup and what you are selling

Re: Paypal limited after first payment

no access to other banks?

Re: Paypal limited after first payment
 

You can apply for a merchant account to receive card payments(debit and credit,VISA,MC,)
It used to be easy to open an AMEX one,but not everyone has AMEX card.

It is almost certain that any account can be restored as long as you provide an ID for PayPal. There is a 99% chance that your PayPal account will be recovered. Many people provide genuine ID card photos (not photoshopped) for around $20.

additional fees involved

My paypal accounts are getting limited after receiving first payment as goods, asking me to send photo id etc.

The transaction is usually about >$200

How to fix this? Anyone else having same issues? I didn't have this issue before.

Re: Paypal limited after first payment
 

Well, you didn't have this issue before because this is your first payment right?

We need more details about the transaction, but usually if they ask for ID like that something flagged them

Yes I didn't have this issue before when receiving first payment as goods.

Re: Paypal limited after first payment
 

what did you sell?

Re: Paypal limited after first payment
 

Category of sales?

Re: Paypal limited after first payment
 

It's a home related item. The buyer sent as goods with address selected.

Re: Paypal limited after first payment
 

well, 200$+ - was it a first transaction?

Re: Paypal limited after first payment
 

Yes, first transaction and even below $200 getting limited. I received a payment for about $120 and got limited..

Re: Paypal limited after first payment
 

Anyone having same issue? I don't know how to solve this. This started happening around the month of may.

Re: Paypal limited after first payment
 

I just had this also, not really worried about it because I think they use A.I. for these checks. Every time previously the limitation is removed almost instantly, so it's just scanning to see 1) if you comply with the request 2) if the docs appear legit

It is more of a bluff with Paypal than anything else. Assuming we have the same type of limitation.

Re: Paypal limited after first payment
 

seems high for a first payment - what kind of item?

Re: Paypal limited after first payment
 

If I were you I'd give them the ID but I'd also start making back up accounts

Re: Paypal limited after first payment
 

Paypal started asked IDs straight after signup since 2022, now it seems they add ID request after money receiving - very bad news. Everymove you do in PP - they may ask for ID

Re: Paypal limited after first payment
 

true. this sh1it was started from 2022, even after signup any country they requested the ID. They dont do manual checks, so these request dont bother them much :amen:

these "experts" above never tell you that
