Paypal keeps getting limited
 

My paypal accounts keeps getting limited approx. every 3 weeks. Ebay is fine. It has to be the merchandise and volume I'm selling.

Today I received and email from ebays executive office stating that they could not lift my limitation because my products were deemed high risk. I was selling Office Professional 2010. I was shut down because the items sold well below retail value. I totally understand that. I'd think something fishy here too. I'm going to abandon selling software all together. I've had at least 6 accounts shut down in 2 months.

I'm switching over to a high end product but I'll most likely sell 1 or 2 items per week on 3 accounts. I'm wondering if this will be enough to stay under paypals radar.

I'm also thinking about switching over to paymate when my feedback reaches 10. I don't care about waiting 2 weeks for my money from paymate just as long as I get it. I believe in most cases I'll have the funds sooner than that.

if you start selling high end items on a new account you will get holds everytime and will probably be limited again eventually.

High products + new ebay/paypal accounts = limitations 9 times out of 10.

And try to aim aside from paypal - paymate is an acceptable option but lot of problems recently as per our forum members.

Aim for a payment processor - moneybookers also works but bit of hassle for ebayers.

Yeah I was planning on switching over to paymate to see how that works.
