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.
