Stealth account limited
 

So I purchased a stealth ebay and paypal verified account. I changed my IP and made a new user account on my laptop. It was only made yesterday. Everything was verified. I listed some small things on Ebay. Today I log into Paypal and it;s limited with no instructions on what needs to be supplied (confirm location, etc). The thing is, it all of a sudden became unverified and has limits on sending and withdrawing. The only thing it says is something to the affect of "we noticed some unusual activity in your bank account". Why would this happen on an account that was verified with no limits the day before? I received no money and only sent like $13.

i think it was because of the ip change and the immediate listing is the reason you got a limited account next time do some browsing around on ebay first etc before you attempt to list an item

Good advice, you never want to jump the gun on these accounts. Gotta browse, kick the wheels, do some window shopping.

Yeah I'd agree..definetely..probably was the IP then listing which has triggered the limitation...

So change the ip once and only once?

no you can change your ip but dont immediately list an item or transfer money thats a red flag

I have seen this happen with bad IP's. Did you use a real IP address from an ISP or cell phone? Or did you use some kind of VPN or server?

Listing items right away on a new account draws flags.

On any new account I look around, add things to watchlist, bid on a few things etc.

Then I only list 1 item at a time and wait a bit then list a second item.

You are suppose to be new and not know what you are doing. :)

Excellent advice. Listing right away is one of these easiest ways to get suspended. Just listing an item with qty 2 can get you suspended.

The key to any new account is patience.

It is indeed a virtue.

Do you have backups in place?
