what did i do wrong
 

hey guys,
yes yet another limited paypal.

i opened this paypal account yesterday and received $200 CAD as a fnf payment. later today i received about $400usd as a fnf payment, however yesterday my vps was acting crazy and i locked myself out of the account as my vps was putting my keyboard in all caps, so i entered the pw wrong. today i sent a payment to someone of $400 after receiving the money and paypal reversed the transaction for them thinking it was unauthorized. now my paypal is limited. i wasted a bank while it was yet to be confirmed but the thing is, did my paypal get limited because i entered the wrong pw too many times and sent a payment and they believed the payment was not actually sent by me or was this an excuse to say" F U"?

All I had to do is read "I received payments via Friends and Family" to know what you did wrong. PayPal isn't stupid, stop trying to go around their system....it's smarter than you.

You opened a PayPal account yesterday and received a $200 payment. The next day you received $400 on an account created yesterday. Add to this the fact that you were having issues with your VPS. Then you tried to send $400 to another account and you got limited.

And you want to know what you did wrong???

Moving $600 in payments into a 1 day old PayPal would be the first mistake.
Then trying to move $400 from that newborn PayPal account to another PayPal account makes it look like money laundering. Anything happening with your VPS was just the icing on the cake.

But don't feel too bad, you actually did pretty well. I wouldn't have bet on that account to last a full 24 hours. And somehow you exceeded that!

You answered your own question.

New paypal account, sending payments by friends and family and sending the amount again to another person by friends and family.

you need the stealth guide like last year....

Re: what did i do wrong
 

He/she doesnt need anything about stealth. He/she is not saying anything about selling. He/she just wanted to know why he/she got limited.

The "get the stealth thing" is being over used and this is one of those times.

I've done this on previous accounts and never had any issues. I've done 2k in one day from opening the account before, no problems.

this is the first time they did this

Re: what did i do wrong
 

Wow I am very surprised you did this with that large amount. But I guess broken clocks give correct time twice a day.

Read the book man, you are doing so many mistakes....

Just because it worked before, does NOT mean it is failproof

Is making FNF payment make paypal more risky?

Re: what did i do wrong
 

What I do for new accounts..

I wait 30 days before I sell on a new eBay account and start earning money through PayPal. You won't get your ebay account temporarily restricted either by having to call in if you wait 30 days.

After 30 days I make around £300 in a week let my money sit in my account for a couple of days then withdrawal no more than £140 wait 72 hrs withdrawal another £140 then wait a week and do it all over again (rince and repeat) untill 90 days have passed.

When my account reaches 90 days old and invoices have been approved by PayPal thats when I really scale things up easy peasy works for me on new accounts all the time.

Do you pay your ebay fees?

Re: what did i do wrong
 

No I don't bother with eBay fees lol of course I pay them I pay them at the end of month when eBay sends you a message to say ebay fees are now due.

Re: what did i do wrong
 

Wow.. I was surprised how your 1 day-old account wasn't limited within minutes or hours after first f&f payment... 8|

Re: what did i do wrong
 

Slow it down. You should have taken a few small transctions over the course of a few weeks before even attempting 200$.

You need more knowledge of Paypal because a VPS will not SAVE YOU !!!

Definitely sounds like too much too soon
