Stupid Newbee move
 

Hi all - Can I get some input on what to expect on my utterly stupid novice mistake described below? Thank you very much. I wish I found this site 2 months ago.. but here we go.

In the early 90's I had a couple ebay and paypal aco****s suspended and limited. I can't say for sure but I think the one with my SSN# was for VERO. I didn't know I would need records. Last year I started selling on an existing eBay PayPal.
I had been hearing horror stories and seeing sellers with 10k+ feedback get knocked out by PayPal limits. (I sell watch parts and crafting supplies like beads.) So I made new accounts, coincidentally on a new laptop. I knew I had to do new a checking account and I bank with Fidelity, it was very easy to get a second checking account number instantly online. I completely verified as a premier business. The following day before selling after buying about $100 worth I was limited. They requested drivers license and two utility bills. I uploaded the info and was unlimited almost 3 hours later.

Sold a few things the first month. Week 3 of the first month withdrew $200 and spent about $500 on eBay purchases. Week 1 (last week) of the first month withdrew $250 and left $46 plus a payment hold of $42.00. A couple payments came in and then I had many come in. I had over $600 post over night as many of my buyers are in the UK. I woke up to the limitation on Thursday. They requested my social security card and supplier list. I typed up a supplier list of legitimate suppliers a total of 4 for the 4 "categories" I sell. I included full info, company name, website, phone, physical address.
I am still in the "in progress status" on both. (I got the tracking number request too, but of course I put the real #'s and that is marked complete.)

So when they put my ssn in the system and they find my suspended/limited accounts from another state geographically and another decade in time, should I anticipate the 180 hold on my $600+? Since my other account is in good standing, should I go ahead and close it? It has a debit card on it, so I really didn't want to but I assume they will be linked and once the "new" one is shut down they will limit the other one too. Do you all agree?

Should I start working on my stealth stuff or is there any odd hope for me?

Welcome to the forum,missking.

Don't close anything while under paypal flags. Just sit on what is there.
What have you done wrong, cmon;) I gamble so you might have a remote chance.
In the meantime, be careful of what you do with the accounts to not link them

too late... they acknowledged my other account early on but I didn't know that was a bad thing. I'm so ashamed :shhh:

Well it's been five days now and my resolution center still says "in progress". Any other suggestions. Anyone?
