Paypal Limited - PayPal Limitations - the Definitive Thread on what to do, what not

[ripoffbay]

thanks for your msg, i was limited by paypal sayings my account is limited due to bla bla bla risk activities a few days ago and asked me to provide these docs which i have done, waiting for paypal's final decision. the reason why i was limited by paypal is coz i increased my sellings on ebay recently to 30+ items per week with each price up to $300+, I withdrew $5K, $3K and 4K within 1 week. so they thought i was....anyway, in the worse case my $$ will not be released by paypal, my ebay account is still working. apparently i wont add new items unitl i get msg back from paypal. Feeling sad that i will not be able to link my working ebay acc to a new created paypal account. why it wont work that way?

[greg2414]

Coz they will link you. Have a read on the forum mate. Buy stealth ebooK!

[Superpak]

How do you tell if you have a $500 limit?

[philly387]

Have you verified both cc and bank accounts?

[ebayhateluv]

HI: I dont even pay attn to pp so-called limits anymore, as even when they ay "unlimited"--the very next day-they can limit u for a $15 sale--
so-for me--Their limits mean nothing..

[ripoffbay]

thanks, will definitely buy this "Bible" book shortly. in other words, there is no more any chance to use my good account? crying for losing such a wonderful ebay account. Hate Paypal...

I removed paypal as the accepted payment method for several listings and they gave me this message


I e-mailed them around 2am today and I have gotten no responde

How do you fix this?

To appeal the limitation on your account, you will need to:

1. Remove PayPal as a payment option, as well as all references to PayPal,

when i use my paypal account to pay my ebay fees, my paypal account got limited. does anyone know why? how do you normally pay ebay fees?

[cktwo45]

it was weird. maybe your IP address matched their blacklist IP

[stetson]

what moron would give anyone their paypal info? Seriously, if you were smart you would never ever ever do this! That is like letting a stranger borrow your credit card.

[ebayhateluv]

HI:
Was that pp acct ever used for another ebay acct that was taken out?
Also- I use the direct pay--you print a coupon with your actual ebay account number--then i send either a money order or cashiers check,
(I estimate my acct balance, so i stay current)..
Good luck

[philkwok]

thanks for your answer. i have 2 ebay using 1 paypal account. but it was never with any suspended ebay member to that paypal. do you think paypal doesn't allow us to have more than 1 ebay to 1 paypal? so Ebayhateluv, you send ebay check for every payemnt? oh i see. anyone else know anything about my problem? how to you pay ebay fees?

[philkwok]

does anyone here use paypal to pay ebay fees?

[GreenBean]

No. I use money orders with the one off payment method.

[jerkyboy1]

If you're using one pp account per one ebay account then just go ahead and make a one time payment using your paypal account that you're using for that ebay account or if they're linked just pay. Your ebay account will not be limited in the future if your pp account goes down if you use the one time payment and if you don't link in any other way or have any billing agreements set-up.

I almost did everything right today. i was soooooo close! I accidently put in both of my checking and savings account that has been used. I deleted flash cookies, i used Tossible digits phone numbers. I used vanilla visa gift card. I switch user names. I cleared out all cookies. and now, after going through all those troubles, should I just stick w this paypal/ebay account or should i start fresh all over again once i get a new savings and checkings account?

[stockportsmiffy]

Hi don't know if anyone can help here. I am a UK seller and was kicked off ebay. I am now running an account through a friend and his paypal account has now been limited. Is it possible for me to link his account with someone elses paypal account? Is there any problems with it being a different address to the ebay account?

thanks

No point in really posting this because everyone has gotten this e-mail but what the hell i need to complain too.

Im wandering though, how are you going to recieve your funds? Will they transfer the funds for you to your account?

Or will they send a check? If so, you better hope its an existing address and find a way around to get your check. Assuming all info provided is ⊗⊗⊗⊗.

my question is : how long they will release my funds if they confirm the shipping.
and is this for every new PAyPal account or no ?
i received $375 from the buyer?

They wait till its says "delivered" from the tracking info u providied and check to see if the rest of ur personal info is legit. It takes up to 1-5 days to get it released. However i recommend just calling them and tell them items been delivered. They'll make a note of it and have it released the next day.
