Have you ever had a paypal limitation overturned
 

My paypal was limited just now for breaking their terms and services, so I called them and they asked me to write to them to explain my situation.

It was only 1 item that I had put on ebay and got a 7 day ban for I havnt relisted it since so this is what I wrote and told them and said I did not realise.

So just waiting upon a reply now, what do you think my chances are?

Kind of depends on the item - how bad of a vero item? Category? counterfeit?

Re: Have you ever had a paypal limitation overturned
 

Yes but it was only 1 item I just got to hope they overturn it as this account is 8 years old :(

Re: Have you ever had a paypal limitation overturned
 

Depends on the type of item, if it is low price you wont have any problems and you will get your account back. It is was a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ rolex for example you are doomed. You should call ebay directly and have it solved..always worked for me.

I don't even try PP anymore.... Spread sales and backup accounts...

Although 8yr old account might be worth it... Can you just buy the item somewhere and upload the invoice?

Its a lot better then I have been on ebay 8yrs and still don't know rules...

Ignorance of the "law" does not make you innocent... my2cents

It was a £23 item so looks like I might get it back then I hope :thumb:

Re: Have you ever had a paypal limitation overturned
 

£23 ⊗⊗⊗⊗ item, 1 of, on an 8 year old account peterspike, why would you take that risk?

Seriously?

You should have posted here for suggestions on what to say before submitting anything to them.

In their eyes I did realise could be fatal.

:peace:

have had many a accounts overturned

have to know what documents to upload

Re: Have you ever had a paypal limitation overturned
 

It is possible. Especially if you can submit everything theyre asking of you.
Sometimes a lot of it depends on the rep you get when you call in too.

Re: Have you ever had a paypal limitation overturned
 

Yes they sent me another mail saying they need documents.

Re: Have you ever had a paypal limitation overturned
 

yeah ive always been a resourceful guy

/

this has happened to at least 6 different accounts ive had which have been over turned

to be honest, in my eyes, they dont want docs to do intense verification... they want docs to have on file and to pin something to you incase you try and scam paypal/ebay

thats all docs are for... but clearly if they look ⊗⊗⊗⊗ then it will just be permanently locked...

Re: Have you ever had a paypal limitation overturned
 

DEPENDING on the severity of the limitation, uploading a document might work.

Re: Have you ever had a paypal limitation overturned
 

Makes you wonder what the bottom line is.

7 day ebay ban followed by a paypal limitation when the value of the item was
not high.

Nasty stuff.

Re: Have you ever had a paypal limitation overturned
 

Sadly, one item - and if it's a big no-no item - is enough for pp to end your account...sad fate for an 8 year old account

Re: Have you ever had a paypal limitation overturned
 

I think there is some issue with your item, that's why pp limit your account, normally pp will not limit with only 1 item.
