Activity: 4% Longevity: 36% | | New PP accounts just get limited after next login
I see that now, when I create a PayPal account, I will be limited the next time I log in. Maybe even after 2-3 logins. I don't understand why, specifically after logging in. I use ISP IP addresses when creating accounts, and Firefox Portable. I don't understand the reason behind this.
I don't have this problem on my old accounts, just the ones i created this month.

They are shared between FFP accounts and years ago used to cause a lot of PP accounts to get limited

they are sneaky,especially Paypal since it is a payment processor,it must be stalking you from the day you created this account till they suspended you.
They also use third party to find out more,which they will never disclose.

I came across this a few times when logging from a fresh browser (i.e, one that wasn't used to create the account), but never when logging in from the OG browser. Then I never got it again regardless of where I was logging in from.
Are you logging in on the same portable browser copy or a different one?

OG = original, so the one that you used to create the account.
Did you register just to ask that? haha

Similarly to what I asked the OP, are you logging in on the same browser copy as the one that created the account in, or a different one?

Did you use real details?

Did you use real details? | the real details, and i never meet this problem since last time PP updated their system, i think acound in the mid of the last month? and I also tried to use the sending money option to check if there were two or more PP business accounts to make sure if the info is the same or not, but there is only one account that created by myself, so strange!

If you used real information to make this account, how do you know that person doesnt already have a paypal account?
It does look like this limitation is a security measure to protect genuine paypal account holders from identity theft.

paypal allow only one personal and one business anyway so they do have a system to identify how many accounts are registered to the same person

Yes. just like that. it's when you change IP also.
you create account on a Fresh IP, maybe use another ip second time, you get blocked. just on the account created in past 1 month. those who are 2 months+ are not afected. |

People change IP all the time...
It's possible the cookies are gone...
