Stealth Account Limited
So I set up a brand new eBay and Paypal account following the stealth guide, new IP, new user name, new address, voucher credit card etc, I had been selling fine, I had 3 previous small sales and bought 2 items, I just bought and sold rubbish to get a few sales under my belt for the main event to sell my mobile phone.
So I sold the the phone, the buy waited 2 days to pay, he had no sooner paid than bamn limited, no 21 day hold or anything just limited with the following emails. Quote:
PayPal periodically checks the validity of members' email addresses, phone numbers and postal addresses to ensure security and prevent potential issues with inactive accounts.
If PayPal does not have current or accurate information on file for your account, we may be unable to confirm your identity. This may make it difficult for you to recover a forgotten password or to receive money sent to you via money request or posted cheques.
Please make the changes indicated above today, or simply choose to close this account and open a new one. You can even use the same email address to open a new account as long as that email address is valid.
If you do not wish to receive email reminders in the future, please edit your settings in the Email Preferences in your Profile.
Yours sincerely,
PayPal
