My account in paypal has been permanently restricted again for no reason
 

Hello everyone, I have a problem. I hope to find a solution or know what the reason is And how to solve the problem
I received $2,100 on my PayPal account for an item I sold, and two days after I sent the shipment to the buyer, my account was permanently restricted for absolutely no reason. I contacted PayPal support a lot to no avail. Then I filed a complaint with the BBB website, and about a week later, PayPal replied that they had lifted the permanent restriction, but they asked for documents. I attached all the documents and my account was restored. I also successfully withdrew the money to my bank account. After that, after 5 days had passed, I received $900 from a buyer and I shipped the item. One day later, my account was restricted and they asked for documents such as proof of fulfillment of the order and proof of shipping And a receipt from the supplier and What is the transaction? I sent everything to them, and after a day, the documents were accepted and my account was restored, but after one hour, PayPal sent a message stating that my account was permanently restricted again, even though the documents were accepted and my account was restored. Please explain the matter, what is the reason, and how do I solve this problem?

the price was too high , you can only sell such items on a paypal account with a very extensive selling history

Re: My account in paypal has been permanently restricted again for no reason
 

Yes, I'm confident the trigger was the large value transaction also

$900,$2100 is not too high,it is fine.,unless he is in Nigeria .

what did you sell?
Some merchandise are deemed high risk,eg latest Iphone models,comics are also considered high risk.
There are ways to find out about us without getting a credit report,SOMETIMES It is not the seller,it is the buyer who has a bad reputation.

A FEW HUNDRED AND A FEW THoUSAND DOLLARS are WITHIN pAYPAL COMFORT ZONE,HOW DOES PAYPAL PAY ITS BILLS IF these amounts are too large for comfort?
Consider how little they make from $900,$2100,peanuts,and they have big bills to pay.
how much do they make now ,25 cents transaction and 2%?then they pay their provider 10 cents plus 1%,so they keep just 15 cents plus 1% of $900 comes to a liitle over 9 dollars.
I would say if you have a short selling history with Paypal and every one of your transactiion is in 4 -5 figures ,it would take notice.
I suspect Paypal also knows more about us,do we own our own home,do we rent ,how many credit cards do we have?
it does not have to do all the dirty work ,someone will do it for them

thats my girl,help them out !
Mortgage your first born !

download a copy of its AUP violation.

Paypal has been blocking a large number of accounts for the last 2 years. After closing the accounts and waiting 180 days to have your money, they send it directly to their accounts.
They literally steal it

Re: My account in paypal has been permanently restricted again for no reason
 

I am truly touched by how you are concerned about how paypal can pay their bills , I feel like opening a new paypal right now and putting a lot of money there in order to help them feeze all of it and take my part in their success

Welcome to Paypal. Nothing new on that

Re: My account in paypal has been permanently restricted again for no reason
 

They managed to be the great market leaders for many years.
I even see how in a less relevant country such as Latin America they are still leaders in sending and receiving money (dollars). Paypal takes advantage of its position as a leader to steal, I am sure that in one way or another it knows which are the stealth accounts and steals all the money from those=}=}

Re: My account in paypal has been permanently restricted again for no reason
 

You must have violated its AUP policy,else it would be released in 180 days.
But I have seen cases where the seller is able to get the money back.

I don't wanna believe that they are that sinister is actively targeting stealth accounts...

Re: My account in paypal has been permanently restricted again for no reason
 

I think that many of the hidden accounts that are created have real people who already have a PayPal account...
accounts that they have before the stealthy ones, that's why I think PayPal knows this, perhaps it asks for documentation of both accounts and obviously the stealthy one will have a lot to lose, the real documents will always be much better than the edited ones

Re: My account in paypal has been permanently restricted again for no reason
 

I only use PayPal to pay for items and have it funded from my credit card, so if a seller does not give a service or product I just claim it back. That is what they are good for, will never use them to take money.

Recommend that you space out your text better next time for easy reading.

This activity by Paypal is not new - you have not mentioned what you sold or category of what you sold - this plays a part to understanding what's going on

Re: My account in paypal has been permanently restricted again for no reason
 

Things with Paypal have been like this for a long time... with Paypal you never know what might happen tomorrow, let's avoid having money saved in Paypal.
But it is interesting to know where you received your income from? That may help you understand it...

Re: My account in paypal has been permanently restricted again for no reason
 

It sounds like Paypal is not comfortable with your business activities,there are certain categories of goods which have high risk,comics is one.

Re: My account in paypal has been permanently restricted again for no reason
 

nowadays a lot of things are risky, but you should still be able to stell Comic books with the right methods.

How can we help him if he does not tell us what is the item and does he have it on hand or are his documents legit?

Re: My account in paypal has been permanently restricted again for no reason
 

paypal can be very annoying when it wants to be, with paypal, it's best to cross your fingers and move on

Re: My account in paypal has been permanently restricted again for no reason
 

He doesn't need to be specific with what item he's selling....
