Holiday break and PayPal
 

Hi, newbie question here . My apologies if it's a bit daft :)

If one is quite active on eBay and PayPal and selling approx 15 items each day on each stealth accoun for 2 years no break, if I go on holiday for a couple of weeks closing down all my listings so no PayPal activity for 2 weeks, when I return and start selling again, can this trigger a PayPal limitation due to a spike in sales after 2 weeks of being quiet?

Has anyone been limited after going on holiday or vacation ?

If you have a strong 2 year selling History than a 2 week break will not hurt your account

Shouldn't make a difference.
However, if youre concerned about it just list a couple of 7 day auctions about a week into your vacation - you can schedule them in advance - that way they'll end when you get back home. And for the first week just list a few items for 7 days at a price you know they wont sell at - so youll still be showing activity throughout your entire vacation.

Agreed. It should not hurt you at all.

No way.......people do go on vacations, computers break, deaths in the family etc, etc.....and zillions more........they have to realize that.........I vote no problem!

Cool! Thank you so much to all of you! Gosh that has put my mind a rest ! :)

One thing you should take into account though - the world keeps going while youre on vacation and auctions that you've made deliveries on might still have issues to resolve. Being gone from all that for 2 weeks might not be advisable - depending on how your operation works.
I always monitor my emails and my multiple accounts when Im away. I have my home computer on at all times and I can login to using Team viewer no matter where I am in the world. I find it very useful to do so.

Logmein also works well for remote login (I have used this when I go out of the country for one account)

hmmm so when you login remotely do u just keep your wifi device at home turned on the whole time or using vps or something?

Many like myself have Comcast Internet, so it's always on, unless you intentionally turn off the modem and router

Log me in is a really good program, it doesn't matter if the computer sleeps, as long as it's not turned off than than its a great remote program

I have it set up so I can even change my IP remotely through the router and change the Mac

I just have my modem plugged into a WEMO switch outlet, so through LOGMEIN I go into router settings change my MAC addresss and than I have the Wemo app opened and quickly click apply in router settings and Off and than on really quick in the wemo app

Which kills the power to the modem and than turns it back on, and than the connection breaks and when it comes back I have a new IP
