Faxing in documents to paypal $1500 in account wish me luck
 

Is th any good fax number where I may get better results?
does it matter if I fax documents from city im selling in or not? does it make or break it? please chime in on this, I have $1500 in this account.its in my aunts name. all items are legit and I have legit receipts. should I let her fax them from her city or can I send them from one satet over with no issue?

yes from your aunts city would add extra weight, all legit details? ok thats a bonus in terms of the way docs will look....but an online fax site can do it too if you like, cant say Ive noticed much difference

thanks because I dont want them to have any excuses. I bought the items from a legit source so the documents are legit and the items are real thing no knockoffs.
where I bought it from may carry some weight too because its very well known and respected.
is there any good fax number to use or should I use the number they giv eme with that scan marks on it?

well to go even further.
I bought the items here and im selling them here in nevada..
her address is on the paypal and ebay which is in another city.
family memeber was sick so im working from here right now 2 hours away.
so should i fax them from where i bought the items and selling from or from where she is (address on paypal and ebay) see why I see advantages to both?

im guessing nobdy else has time to comment on this..I will just go with my best thoughts and do what I know how to do.
its all legit so I shouldnt have ny problems ut with paypal dishonesty you never know

good luck! let us know. it's a 50/50.

Use the number they give on scan sheet. As for exact location, does not make much difference as long as everything is clear and in order. Also depends a lot on what you are selling and risk assessment.

All the best.

thank you guys for all the help. im going to send it from the city im in because the ip will match up to city where the items are listed right now.
Like I said its all legit info so im just hoping I dont have any issue with it.
we are dealing with dishonest people at paypal. they lied to one of my customers recently. paypal have no remorse for what they do.

thanks guys for all your help.

these people are not releasing accounts in florida without ssn. completed all steps but ssn. talked to aa limitations specialist supervisor.

paypal is not releasing without ssn.

Tell us something we don't know =( sorry to hear that

luckily its not stealth, it is a real account with a relatives name so we do have a ssn to give them. he is cool with it and we provided all the info. Just waiting on paypal to release it now.

ACCOUNT IS FINALLY RESTORED WITH $1700 in it
 

They finally restored the account but not without giving the ssn.
It was a very tricky deal but all is good.
I tried to get around it but he wouldnt budge.
ssn or you wont get the money.
had to make 2 phones calls 2 days apart but it worked.

Good work! You're one of the elite few.

thanks. Because I know I screwed up and didnt log off the other usernames that was suspended.
I just created a new username and logged in ebay and paypal several times and listed a few items for a few days straight to make it look like I was logging in from same computer and ip for a few days. I believe that helped.
ALSO PLEASE NOTE ONCE THEY RESTORE ACCOUNT THEY WILL CALL ALL OF YOUR CUSTOMERS.
THEY CALLED ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT PACKAGE DELIVERY. MAKE SURE YOUR PACKAGES DO NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION THAT WILL LINK YOU TO ANY SUSPENDED ACCOUNTS.
THEY HAVE CALLED ALL OF MY CUSTOMERS SINCE THEN ASKING IF ITEMS HAVE ARRIVED AND ASKING OTHER QUESTIONS. BE CAREFUL!

Really. Wow. Not sure what to make of that. I can see confirming delivery. But they asked about the shipping labels?

They are getting hardcore, calling customers, never heard of that yet..

calling customers? PAYPAL HAS TO GO DOWN SOMEDAY! im reading paypal forums and alot of people are upset with them also. too bad you can't post in the paypal forums if your account is limited or closed.

Not that unusual. I have had two payment gateways in the past call customers first few sales. CCNow and 2checkout. one of them, 2checkout i think did it for all orders for 6 weeks. BUT they just confirmed delivery. It makes you look shady and I was not too happy. So I started to email new customers that they may get a "security phone call" to make sure they are indeed card holder. Being proactive made it look better for me. Cant see doing that with PayPal, what a nightmare that would be.

They dont have the manpower to do this for everyone thats for sure. It must be something unique.

EDIT: PayPal taking this kind of step could be a sign they are locking up too many innocent sellers and they are getting hit with too much backlash. They are not ones to put extra man hours into following up on sellers. They usually just pull the plug if they have any doubts at all. Something like this could be a sign that they might be lowering the bar a tiny bit. Just thinking out loud, but if their shotgun, automatic guilty verdict approach is piling up too many honest folks they may feel they need to loosen the noose a tad....

hopeful but rememebr
 

pod, im with you on that. they called 2 of my customers and asked about me. that was rough they scared my customers and had them thinking i was a thief too. it is my thinking that something is changing but dont count on it you are dealing with evil paypal. I believe they will ask for ssn from now on. I dont think they will back down from it so we have to fight them because nobody likes to give out ssn.They are ruining the lives of sellers by the thousands. Too many innocent victims in their take all down attitude and you would have to believe after we complain to senators and congress so much somebody will put a stop to paypal and ebay.
I even got them to release some holds yesterday BEFORE positive feedback to the tune of about $900 for 4 different sales. I believe im getting lucky with nice paypal employees. The first guy was tough and I had to use some game on him.The lady yesterday was very sweet. I told her I loved her country and would visit next year for vacation because I hear its so beautiful there :)

Thats the governments doing, not PayPal. There is no fight to be had.

It's time to get a merchant account folks. If you have bad credit work on it now! Because who wants to put up with Paypal's CRIP

but from so many threads, vendor accounts are not always so much better a choice

Fees are stiffer on merchant accounts but the key is volume - if you dabble, don't bother - if you're serious, yes - sure it's 5% abouts vs 1.9 or 2.9 from paypal - yes you will have longer holds but if you're working ok, you will operate well with merchant account - especially if it accepts paypal.
