problem with limitation and blizzard RMAH
Sometime ago I started bringing in high volume sales on PP, I was withdrawing a lot of money daily. Long story short, my account was limited and now I cant withdraw or send money on PP. If i make another paypal the same thing will happen, they will link and ban me.
Furthermore, I was using real information, and all of my information checked out. When they asked for more identification, I provided it, and they ended up limiting my account for 180 days and said they will no longer do business with me in the future. They will not provide a reason and give me scripted responses over the phone. It is apparent this company has now been running a long time scam. How they get away with this I sure as hell would like to know.
Either the high volume sales or act of withdrawing money daily (or both) was probably what got my account flagged, whatever it is they won't tell me. I absolutely did nothing wrong, all of my money came from the real money auction house, operated by Blizzard Entertainment, with whom they have a contract with, and even receive a 15% cut of my profits, yet they deemed me as "high-risk" and locked my account for 180 days. Their reason for this lock was to prevent chargebacks; chargebacks from who, a multi-million dollar business client?
I am new to the virtual goods industry, so I did not prepare for nor expect this. PP has a monopoly going, so I can't exactly not use them.
My question to the experienced sellers here that are bringing in $5k+ per month from virtual currency sales,
how do you deal with this problem of avoiding an account limitation with paypal?
I've only just found out about stealth accounts, is this the way to go, and how exactly does it work? Do you have multiple stealth PP accounts to spread out the money that's coming in, or is there a simpler method? Also, if you're using multiple PP accounts with ⊗⊗⊗⊗ names, how do you report taxes?
