Paypal limited, now how long until my ebay is suspended?
 

OK, I know this has probably been asked and answered, but I promise I searched and couldn't find it. (I searched Paypal Limited, ebay next)

I was limited yesterday by paypal and now am guessing it's just a matter of time before my ebay is shut down. To any of you who have had this happen, what is the usual time frame?

Thanks in advance.

Paypal is just a merchant, you use it to accept money. Try using one of the other ebay sponsored payment methods. Have a paypal account limited does not necessarily mean the same for eBay.

I thought they were one in the same? Paypal said they would notify ebay, so I may be ok for now? Also I'm in the process of a merchant account but have to get verified (merchant plus). Any recommendations to a quick approval merchant account?

It depends on what your account is limited for on if they are going to suspend the ebay also. What were you limited for. Also what differnce does it make. If you are limited to where you cant accept money your ebay auctions are pointless.

You can accept money, just not through paypal.

I'm in the process of opening a merchant account. I sell vero, so I may have been limited for that, although I tried depositing a large sum into my bank account(I know, not a smart move, but now I am studying up to prevent this in the future), and after this deposit I was limited.

Mine got suspended after 1 week.

That's just the nature of the beast. Always keep a back up account handy. I've had some stealth accounts active for years, and some get shut down in 70 days.

Just got this tonight!

Congrats! Was it a stealth account? And what did they ask you provide?

No not a stealth account, but an account in which I've sold 200 vero items in the last month(I know, not too smart, but I'm learning). They asked for the works:
SSN, verification of Address, 5 proof of deliveries, supplier invoice, supplier info etc. . .

May I ask what did you do about the supplier invoice/contact info?

Thanks!

pm me and I'll let you know

Congrats man. That's not typical. I'm glad you got that account restored!

Just as I suspected might happen, I listed much fewer items this weekend and got my trademark violation notice today, suspended for 7 days. Now it's time to pack up shop and put stealth to use. . .if only I could figure out this darn ip thing!

Also, Can you use this on a stealth account or has to be a real account with your personal info?

You can use a merchant account with a stealth account. There are many threads to discuss this topic.
