My story of my paypal & ebay delimma
 

So both and my brother and I have the same first name. He owned a company which sells on ebay and it went under. He owed a lot of ebay fees and paypal had dispute up which was not cleaned up.

a month after the company went under, he filed for bankruptcy and wants nothing to do with it as it was an incorporate account. My account, which I had for 7 years was suspended because it was to be linked up with my brothers account. It was an account that I don't really care for but I did plead with ebay for a week stating that I am not him and that we both have the first same name but different middle name. Our home address is of course the same.

I recently started a business, I set up a new paypal account, under business, my other account which is linked up to my suspended ebay account. I begin to sell on ebay and I had to do some verification which social security was one of them. I had issues becuase I had to downgrade my other account to primer account for it to work. I was on the phone with the rep, I enter my legit social security number which then paypal said, "oh you have another account" I informed them that it is my personal account. The representative said, ok.

On Sept 2, my account got linked up to an account that my brother used to own. I have money in there and I can not get out. I called paypal and told them that it is my brother and that we have the same first name and same home address. I asked them what is the steps I can do to get my money out. They told me I need a lawyer to prove that my identity was stolen/mis-used or file a police report.

So what are my opinions right now? I want to be able to get my old account back, if not, I want to at least get my money thats on hold to be withdraw. I am willing to pay for a lawyer service fee if someone can help me here. I want this issue to be over with so I can do a new account by following the steps on this site.

How much money was in the PayPal account?

currently, $4,066USD.

We sell on ebay and sell about 30+ items/day. This makes us hit the $1000 mark with ease.

If that much money is at stake, I'd seriously suggest you contact Modee for some one-on-one support. That would probably be your best option to get your money out.

yeah, I'm down for the service, he already contact me about it so I will get in touch with modee on Monday.

So,

After calling paypal numerous times and explained my stories. Theres about at least 20 calls made in one day and I guess they finally realized that I am serious with my account. They told me what I had to do, I had to resolve the account which belong to my brother. The amount was owed a little over $900 dollars. I informed the rep that I would pay for that and they told me to log in, I told them I could not log in and that its not ME. So at the end, we made an agreement since I was desperate to get my account operating.

I told them to take the money out of my account to the resolved account and 30 hours later, both my paypal accounts, my ebay account has been reinstated.



also,


Best email that I had received ever.. also, they send out the worst as well :(

Congrats!
Was this part of the help you received from Modee?

its like a chain, my other paypal account has been reinstated as well.

I was about to hire modee for his service to get my account back but I did do some research and yeah, he did help me through his post throughout the forum.

:)

Double congrats on finding the information yourself!
Modee can be "used" as preventative maintenance, as well.
