My paypal is permanently limited Ebay working
 

Just lost the last of my stores to the mighty ebay. 100% positive feedback, 8 years on ebay. Excellent.

My question is, if my paypal account is permanently disabled but ebay is letting me add a new paypal, will they limit my ebay if I continue selling? My ebay account was limited for 7 days for 2-3 removed listings but this limitation has expired now and there are no new messages. The paypal has been unlinked in my ebay and I didn't do that myself.

Any chance of salvaging that eBay account? It has a few thousand positive only feedback scores and was top rated many times.

If you have a limited paypal account attached to ebay and you add a new paypal account to that ebay account, it will also get limited.

It is linked to a suspended paypal and will always be linked, even if you have removed it.

So you can no longer use your ebay account with paypal anymore.

OK thank you. I will start fresh after reading the stealth guide. I'll need to be extra careful from now on if I want to continue putting food on the table for my kids with this kind of job...

OK, do you know, if I register a paypal business account in the UK or another EU country what will I need to provide to them for lifting my limitations? They ask for company name and contact person. Does that contact person have to be me (the owner of the company) or can it be someone else who is employed by me? Perhaps paypal will check the company register and see my name as owner and decide to link it with my previous account...

I would just add that the other payment alternatives on eBay are NOT GREAT. The problem is, buyers have been brainwashed into thinking that ONLY PayPal is safe. So, while you CAN make sales by taking other payment methods, it will have a large negative impact on your sales.

But, in my experience, once your account is limited by eBay or PayPal, the other account soon follows, so it makes little difference anyway.
