Paypal Account Limited, Help!
 

Hi Everyone,

I woke up this morning to an email that said "Your account has been limited until we hear from you"

I logged into my Paypal Account and found out why my Paypal Account was limited

"Why is my account access limited?

Your account access has been limited for the following reason(s):

Dec 28, 2014: We need a little bit more information about some money you recently received or withdrew."


This Paypal account that is limited is all my real info. I have been sending funds to and from my other 2 Paypal stealth accounts. now they are wanting all this info which most i have supplied

PERSONAL INFORMATION REMOVED

I am not sure what to do now, they are wanting "proof of delivery" for the transactions i sent to my other 3 Paypal stealth accounts. but these weren't any purchases i just sent these as a gift so i wouldn't be charged a fee. I can provide proof for the 1st Transaction as it was a sale.

I have had this Paypal account since 2006 and this is the first time this has ever happened, I am wondering if it would be easier to just call them since this is all my real info and say the transactions i sent were for a family member? or ship some kind of small item to each of the Paypal accounts they are wanting proof of delivery for. I am thinking this may be easier in getting my account restored.

Thanks ~Chris~

also my other 2 Paypal accounts i use to sell on ebay.

Why were you sending funds from your stealth accounts to your main one? That's a BIG NO NO

Re: Paypal Account Limited, Help!
 

i did this so i could transfer the funds to my bank so it would arrive faster, I do have a bank account on my Stealth Paypal's.

Re: Paypal Account Limited, Help!
 

Just wait 24 hours after adding documents to the limitation.
Paypal will let you know if they require more or not.

Re: Paypal Account Limited, Help!
 

This kind of request is usually too rough on an account to salvage - VERY rarely does an account get reinstated following this FULL request.

Don't call PP with that excuse of yours OP - just do the steps and hope. You have learned the lesson of not to transfer

Re: Paypal Account Limited, Help!
 

It's too late, I called and the guy on the phone was wanting to know a reason for every transaction I made. Then a day later they limited all 5 of my accounts that I were transferring funds to and sending as a gift.

Congrats you've just joined the boat that we're all mostly in. Sorry to say but paypal limits for anything and i do mean anything. Sending money from stealth accounts to your main is dangerous as you unfortunately just found out. You'll have to create new accounts and never connect them by sending money to each one of them. Good luck

Re: Paypal Account Limited, Help!
 

From now on i will just withdraw all my funds to my bank with my new Paypal account. I received another email saying i could withdraw my funds within 45 day, so thats good.

Re: Paypal Account Limited, Help!
 

Hey, how come they are letting you withdraw your money within 45 days time? Last time I was permanently limited I couldn't withdraw money for 180 days.

Re: Paypal Account Limited, Help!
 

Not really sure, Maybe it's changed

Re: Paypal Account Limited, Help!
 

I hope I can withdraw after 45 days that would be great I don't wanna wait till may
I will find out in two weeks I guess

Re: Paypal Account Limited, Help!
 

Some USA accounts with paypal limitations get this offer given.
Been a few UK ones as well but not on the scale of the USA.

BUT it usually means that the account is going to be looked at to makle sure there are no chargebacks.

And, here's the rub. paypal has taken out funds from the limited balance. They reserve their rights to do that in their T&S.

:brushteeth:

Re: Paypal Account Limited, Help!
 

On what grounds can they just take money like that? I'm not saying they wouldn't, but how do they justify it? You mean they don't ever give it you back? That's just plain wrong.

Re: Paypal Account Limited, Help!
 

Those screenshots contain Transaction ID's! OP, I would get rid of that information sharpish if I were you

Re: Paypal Account Limited, Help!
 

I agree with this, maybe an admin should step in.

Re: Paypal Account Limited, Help!
 

Numbers have been up for way too long at this point :(

Re: Paypal Account Limited, Help!
 

Why do the Transaction ID's need to be removed?

Re: Paypal Account Limited, Help!
 

Are you serious?

Re: Paypal Account Limited, Help!
 

eBay and PP will most likely monitor this forum... Try to at least make them work for it :)

Re: Paypal Account Limited, Help!
 

If you absolutely MUST transfer funds between stealths to get the money out, at least make it look like a sale. They can't link the accounts if it looks like a natural sale.

I have had to do this in a jam multiple times and had no problem getting linked. Create an invoice and make it some kind of service and then just pay the invoice with the other stealth account. Pay the darn sales fee, it's a small price to pay to get your money and not create big problems.

If it's a service, of course they can never ask for tracking and don't make the invoice for the EXACT amount in your other account either, make it look real.

This has worked for me with no problems. And just don't make a pattern out of it. With the same account always selling to the same account. Keep track of what you are doing so you do not create a pattern.

Limited Paypal Account have to wait the 180 days

but the Ebay linked acc is still 100%, no issues. have cleared the sellers fees that were owed. Should I now Remove the Link / Remove Paypal from this Ebay account ? or leave it alone til paypal release the funds their holding?

Re: Paypal Account Limited, Help!
 

Removing the link only show from your side.

The info still stays on the dark side.

I tend to advise users to let things be.
