Have gotten quite a few PMs about my most recent posts so I thought id just compile my list of things that will get you unlimited the fastest.
After you get the dreaded email:
1. Refund all your buyers. Empty out the account. Realize from the start you will NEVER get unlimited until you have sent the items and even if you do, it may not help. Ive made it a new rule of mine to never send items that I dont have the money out of my account for.
2. Get everything to paypal immediately, but dont fax, its pointless, you'll be waiting for weeks. Instead go to kinkos or staples and get your info scanned and do the upload of the files. Always make sure to take the quality down so its not good enough for them to realize its ⊗⊗⊗⊗.
3. Call immediately after your upload is successful. And inquire about what the problem is. Make sure you repeatedly say things like "i understand paypal has my best interest in mind, im just wondering why this is happening." and "i hope this wont take long as I was really excited about using paypal" just butter them up like toast.
4. Get a name and employee number from EVERYONE you talk to for a lengthy period of time and make SURE they notate your account if they tell you anything. Also have them put in that you are being pre-emptive in this situation and that you have been very cooperative. Like seriously say can you please put in how cooperative and pre-emptive i have been. Explain what the transaction was for and how you are just trying to sell some items for (insert somewhat somber story, dont overdo it though). Something along the lines of I got in an accident and gotta pay for the repairs so i gotta earn some extra funds.
5. Act like you know their policies but dont be a dick about it. Ive found that saying things like "can you please notate that in my account and move it to review please" Or if they start giving you their spiel that you know is false bust in like well last time i spoke with a supervisor fred who told me "blah blah blah"
6. Do not yell. It will only cause more problems.
7. Email your buyers. Explain how something has come up and how you had to go out of town or how an emergency came up and you cannot ship for a few days. Something so that they are not getting extra suspicious and will give you the window you need.
8a. If you are unlimited then resend the invoices as a service and proceed. Ive found that this type of transaction is limited far less frequently. Also Ive found that right after limitation you have a good 1-2 weeks where you are about as untouchable as youre gonna be. Dont overdo it though. You should be fine enough to make the same transactions again.
8b. If you are not unlimited send an email to
complaints-response@paypal.com along with some ⊗⊗⊗⊗ emails such as
bobbycraig@cnn.com and
frankdavis@abcnews.com Basically explain your situation and be coy about it like you wanted to use paypal because you heard it was so safe and easy but stern basically saying please give me a reason as to why my account is limited.
Through the years ive had quite a few paypal accounts suspended. What ive found as a constant is paypal knows what the laws are and arent. If you call threatening to sue them or something they know 99% of the people arent going to take action. You have to make them believe you are that 1% because in the end they know their policies are stupid, and for the most part illegal. Things like always asking for a name and employee number scare the crap out of paypal because a face can be put with a statement. Saying "well some woman yesterday told me different" is much less scary than "well mary employee number 30948 said something different yesterday" Remember this si the company that use to hide its phone number admittedly claiming "we offer better service though email" and told people that if they wanted to sue them that they had to file the paperwork in california. They dont want the face to face confrentation because they lose and if you make them believe that you have no problem taking it to that face to face confrentation, they will back down 99% of the time.

Too much ⊗⊗⊗⊗ info going to an investigative reporter is going to open up
