Well I would add a bank account and verify it before proceeding. This way you can do a bank transfer after 180 days if you are limited

You can withdraw upto $500 in a 30 rolling day period. When I attempt to withdraw more than this I get a limitation whether I am verified or not.

I don't think spending 70 dollars or 1/3 of the total amount will limit you. if you have spend nothing else.

Your account access has been limited for the following reason(s):

# Jun. 10, 2008: We have observed activity in this account that is unusual or potentially high risk.


i just issued the buyer a refund of his 150 bucks tho, im not going to deal with that anymore... its apparent to me ill never be able to own a good paypal account with a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name no matter what... its always going to be shut down within a day or two :/

I don't think it'll limit your either.

Add a bank account though, WaMu is easy to signup and works with Paypal without an issue. Become confirmed and you really won't have to worry about a limitation.

All new accounts are limited at some point, so don't let that discourage you, but once you get around the Limitation you will have more freedom...

well as it is they want proof of where i live, of my SS#, wanted me to send a tracking number so they could *make sure* i was selling the stuff i was selling, and of course i cant prove i live at a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address, or provide a SS# for someone who dont exist, so thats my major grip i guess

Paypal Limted account spending
 

Can you still spend money on site from your paypal account even through its limited? cause it says you cant

receive payments
send or request money
electronically transfer funds from your PayPal account
close your account

but it says nothing about spending money online

What does SEND money mean? Have a think about that and you get the answer.

Guys, let the Kid work it for himself, PLEASE.....

I see your point THAKID.

Quick question,

If you were to purchase something online what would you be doing with your money in Paypal to pay for it?

a) Sending the money
b) Giving the money
c) Spending the money
d) Transferring the money
e) All of the above

I also would not advise that you try to make any attempt at logging in to a suspended account or creating a new account as I have a funny feeling it will not last that long.

What is with all the obvious questions the last couple days?

I am not sure with the OP question but I have asked a couple of questions that I was hoping some of you more knowledgeable people would have the answers too but it seems to have gone unanswered. They are all problem related to my current situation. If the answers are too sensitive to answer in public I would appreciate it if someone could PM me.

Thanks!

PayPal Limited due to Password Change
 

I changed my password on my PayPal account today, and then a few hours later, here's what I get...

Jun. 19, 2008: We have reason to believe that your account was accessed by a third party. We have limited access to sensitive PayPal account features in case your account has been accessed by an unauthorized third party. We understand that having limited access can be an inconvenience, but protecting your account is our primary concern.

In my opinion I think this is a bunch of crap. I changed my password and primary email address for my own security, and now they limit my account because they believed some "hacker" stole my account and now they want me to go through their verification process. Should I just comply and do whatever they say? But the problem is, they want me to confirm the address on a VCC, which is at the VCC's company place. So how can I get around this problem?

Nevermind, I managed to clear the limitation on my account. This can be closed.

Yeah, this is pretty common. It usually happens when you change your IP address and then change your account details. Same thing with eBay.

It's usually easy to clear up, as you found out.

Can you Be Limited due to Too Many Deferred disputes??
 

I have got 2 deferred disputes this month, 1 deferred dispute last month. And will probably get another deferred dispute in the coming days. I know it doest look good but my shipment resupply is seriously delayed.

I just want to know if PayPal limits an account based on this..

If they are huge dollar amounts, maybe... but if it's under $100-$200 it shouldn't be an issue. Just take care of them and you should be okay.

Limited & need proof of payment
 

Hi all,

My PP is limited/frozen, I refunded a buyer with part PP funds and part postal order, PP want proof that the buyer was refunded, I don't have a copy of the postal order as this was lost.

Can I make up a false one or what should I do.

can the customer back you up?

Call paypal and tell them that. From there they should contact the buyer

The buyer returned my item and he has been paid, relations with the buyer would not be good though!

I will just ask PP to contact the buyer and confirm payment.

Just a tip to others:

If you're running a business on Ebay/PP, don't get into disputes, just refund and move on, build the losses into your business plan.

Most of the time ive just worked things out with the buyer before refunding or even before they open a dispute, unless I have one those crazy ones...

never avoid a buyer's messages cause this is what usually causes a dispute or escalation and they won't help you out...if you communicate well with the buyer they will appreciate that and won't do anything rash like leave neg fb...even if you have to come up with a little story...don't ignore them

If you do end up refunding always use Paypal that way you will always have that going for you..

Most of the time I convince the buyer to keep the item rather than returning it for a refund but ofcoarse we all know there are a few that are truly insane...so just use common sense and judge what kind of buyer they are...

I use HSBC now. They are strict, but paypal likes them. I have transferred about $28,000 with no problems. Not a good idea to open many accounts with HSBC.

Why do you say is not good idea to open many saving accounts form them?

There is a way;-) cannot say It in public PM me ....

i dont really know why he said that.
All banks are the same.
Savings dont harm your credit report, but current acc's do.
I wouldnt open too many anyway because they may feel there's fraud going on.

HI:
Why cant you go to your post office--they keep a very good audit trail--get a copy and forward to paypal..

I just come in any local bank and open or close bank accounts... No one cares.. Open as many you like

Paypal limited but still able to Withdraw Funds
 

Yesterday, I woke up to a notification from Paypal

Of course the first thing on my mind was "I bet they reversed the funds I withdrew to my bank account yesterday." And guess what, the withdraw request was still "pending" status. I checked today and it is now marked "completed." Then I still received well over $1000 in it from yesterday until today, so I tried a electronic funds transfer thinking it will give me the message to stop me, and it DID NOT. This is the weirdest limitation I've ever received.

no offense to you because i had the same thing happen to me but you should really be quiet about it until they completely limit you...its one of those loophole crazy moments that if paypal realizes that they will fix it.

Limited and cannot withdraw - did 2/3 steps
 

Hi, I am limited and cannot withdraw money. I did a withdraw and it was reversed and then I was limited. I needed to do 3 things to remove limitations:

1) Confirm addy - added the CC to confirm addy - done

2) SS# - I don't want to give it - not done

3) Provide Tracking Info - I provided all tracking #s - done

Is there anyway I can get the limitation lifted without giving my SS#. I read a few posts that kind of hinted towards that, but I cannot find any steps to do this.

Please help, thanks!

Theres a good chance to get it lifted. But what you need to do is call Paypal. I have solved alot of problems just by calling. Make sure you have your account info right in front of you. Then after calling and they didn't lift it on the phone email appeal@paypal.com.

When I call, should I tell them I don't want to give my SSN and expect them to offer me something else or just reinstate me?

Tell them you would not like to reveal your ssn # because of indetity fraud. See what paypal says maybe they will give you another option.

Has anyone done this successfully?

I have done it once, but there is absolutely no chance if you're using an account with made up information. With the account that they did let it go, the name on the account as well as the address all matched up and the phone also to a real person.

A way to avoid limitation
 

Hi all,

I was limited by paypal a dozen times. Recently, I have an account which was verified in every aspect. I also applied for Paypal debit card. That was amazing that I seemed immune from dispute. I usually got 3 dispute per month which I took care of them of course. In past, this kind of situation would instantly limit my account but not this time. My paypal account is still alive with reputation of 130. I think the reason behind this is that the debit card confirms your name and address without any doubts whenever you use it. Just to share with you guys. This might help.:D

Mate there are no miracles in paypal ;-)

Debit card means nothing , dont even think for a moment that your pp acc

is bulletproof. They hit you when you feel safe and have sweet dreams

better invest in learning the system instead of believe in miracles ;-)

Fastgold is right, never get too comfortable just because you have the PP debit card.

Matter of fact a few people on this board mentioned PP held their funds or made funds not available when trying to use they tried using their cards at a store or gas station.

PP/eBay can shut you down on a whim and without warning.

Everytime I log into my PP account I think today is the day they're going to get me.
So far so good but I know my time is coming that's why I'm now accepting USPS money orders and trying to direct my customers to use Google Checkout.

thanks for the input

I just posted my experience here and there is some difference. Besides, I never put too much money in PP. How do you direct google checkout without letting ebay knowing it?

Lisa but what are you actually selling?
I mean what are the reasons for paypal to shut u down?
