Paypal limited: I'm in the same boat....
 

I have 2 ebays : feedback of 332 and 219. Yet have gone thru 6 paypal accts and have over $9K frozen for the 180...... I'm looking for advice too.....

thanks

Welcome to the forum and Welcome to the horror of paypal limitations.

I moved your post to your own thread because your case differs. (Each paypal case has different angles so advice needs to be tapered to fit)

First question is why has paypal done that to you? What are you selling and what is happening as you deal with buyers? Are you selling in a high risk category and getting claims? Not drop-shipping?
If any of those accounts have been subject to the no longer wanting to do business, then you might think of using another method to collect funds. Might be time to make a business plan to bet paypal/ebay.

Post a bit more of what's happening for better help :pop2:

Perhaps split your sales between more then 2 ebay accounts and more paypal accounts, perhaps build up and establish about 5 ebay accounts and 5 paypal accounts. Split your sales evenly between the 5 and go under the radar.

Both Greenbean and 123 are solid with advice and questions - spread out the sales so you don't depend on one.

I'm selling SOFT**** which a guess is high risk.... I have never had neg feedback though. I burnt up paypal accts in all my family memebers names... etc.... then switched to moneybookers... they have $8K of my $ right now. THey popped me for no apparent reason as well........ should I try CCNOW, or what does anyone suggest? Am I just selling in the wrong item?

do you think I should just dump my current ebay accts even though there's som much feedback attached? Ebay isnt busting these, on pp and mb accts?

Few companies that can receive funds like pirated software.

Take a long hard look at your business plan. Prepare yourself to change tactics.
Ask yourself, can you afford to have $8000 of your money held and not in your hot hands?
In most instances, the (sensible) answer is NO.

CCNOW detest phakes. If you think moneybrokers are mean, try selling phakes with them.
Look what has happened is all the sellers that got thrown off paypal for selling phakes, have moved onto other sources. Gradually all of these have made it harder to do business.

Here's the result for you. Selling counterfeits does not work in the long run. Simples.
My problem now is I cant tell you how to go on selling these as I am of the school of thought it's the wrong thing to do. :peace:

if I change products.... do you think I could still salvage my current ebays or should I just dump them?

I think you need to hope for the best and plan for the worst. (In anything you do)

I would never admit to a crime.... firstly. Secondly, don't let ebay or paypal run your business. You are in charge, not them. Read the stealth guide, learn how to get back on ebay and prepare for them shutting you down.

I get pm's every once in a while asking what is a good alternative to paypal.... I always reply, "A second paypal account"

Can you provide paypal accts that I can use w/ my current ebays?

You'll want to use a new ebay and paypal account in tandem. Ebay owns paypal... so anything you try to pull over on them, they will see eventually.

Purchase the stealth guide.

just looked at your "autum special". One question: with this set up(2 accts) how much $ would you say is "quasi-safe" to run thru on any given month?

And how do I get money out of one of these paypal accts?

VERY INTERESTED IN YOUR SERVICE

What would say is a safe amount ($) to run thru a new account?

There is no clear answer to what you are asking.

PM being replied to now.
