PayPal Limitation
 

okay hi guys, I just came across this site whilst looking for a solution on frozen PayPal accounts so I decided to create an account to ask for advice on here. So just last week, PayPal decided to limit my account out of the blue, and stated that I cannot appeal. I'm an EBay seller, and having to rely on PayPal for payment has obviously caused problems for me. I can't even think straight about this! I got a call yesterday that PayPal would be closing my account, adding insult to injury. I called and called their customer services over 20 times, where they were just giving me the same silly answer "sorry but there is nothing we can do to lift the limits". suddenly one guy actually showed some sort of sympathy for my case, and directed me to an email where I could appeal and hopefully get my account reinstated. euaup@paypal.co.uk
I'm just waiting for a reply from the senior executives at PayPal, to see if they will actually lift my account. I just want to ask if anyone has been in the same shoes as me, and has managed to get their ban lifted? also for those wanting to know, I was just selling marvel figures and toys on eBay from an American supplier.

It happened to everyone here, you need to move on and learn to sell the stealth way. While you waiting for an answer learn to open more accounts properly. Everthing you need is available on this forum. Good luck.

The account is Toast! Time to move on.... Welcome to Stealth your new favorite place to visit online.

Re: PayPal Limitation
 

What was the reason to limit the account?

Re: PayPal Limitation
 

Buy stealth guide. Read stealth guide. Do stealth. (you probably will ignore this advice till you beat round the bush for a few days seeking more and more advice on what can be done on this account, but eventually you will give in) ;)

Don't worry, All of us here have been in your shoes. You're in that "hoping for a miracle" stage where you feel that by some chance PayPal will lift the limit and you'll live happily ever after. Sad to say that's not going to happen. Chances are slim to none that PayPal will sympathize with you. You could tell them "This is my how i feed my children! Please have a heart!" They don't care about you or anyone. They simply follow their stupid rules and that's it. They limited you and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Buy the stealth book, start from scratch, learn from your mistakes and make a lot of stealth accounts. Trust me, Its the only way you'll make money again. Sorry to hear about your loss and welcome to stealth

Welcome to the forums - all the best as you master stealth :thumb:

Re: PayPal Limitation
 

well unfortunately I'll be taking this up with the Financial services, as i told them in the emails I sent, along with the calls I made. I'm not going to let Paypal push me around like this. Here in the UK we have a ombudsman service, where someone from a legal team look into complaints like this and have the cases resolved with a either a compensation handed for damages from the other party, or an alternative. This is the route I look to take if Paypal does not have this sorted by Tuesday.

Re: PayPal Limitation
 

They stated it was limited due to "suspicious transactions" and "continuous withdrawal" which is a ridiculous and laughable excuse, considering that I registered for a business account, so they should know full well that there will be countless withdrawals to pay for inventory. All in all, this was all for their personal gain, just so they can can make interest from money they have held on the account. I refuse to be a victim to these scam artists, so i'll be fighting back if the second appeal is denied.

Re: PayPal Limitation
 

I knew this is what your going to do. I even speculated this is what your going to do from the post above. I even speculated you will end up giving up in the end.

At least take my advice and do stealth 'whilst you fight a battle you will without a doubt lose'.

Re: PayPal Limitation
 

I've heard people getting their stealth accounts limited also. This is a case of Paypal randomly just limiting accounts, especially ones with big money left in accounts, just so they gain interest. Also, wouldn't I run into problems when verifying my identity?

Re: PayPal Limitation
 

The stealth book helps you how to avoid getting flagged. Its best to have more than 2 accounts if you're conducting a lot of business on eBay, So not just one account is getting all the money, you just rotate around, Hope what you're planning on doing gives you results.

Re: PayPal Limitation
 

Sure people get accounts back. But you said Paypal said you cannot appeal. That is a sign you did something to really push their button! - The chances are slim. Your resources/energy could be more wisely used.

Re: PayPal Limitation
 

I'd love to see if you had any luck with PayPal, something tells me that you're still in the same situation.

Re: PayPal Limitation
 

Still curious to know what happened with you

Re: PayPal Limitation
 

Same here???
What limitation reasons are the most likely to get lifted?

Re: PayPal Limitation
 

My new account has been limited Linked to another account one that has a negative balance due to scam it's requesting for docs but I feel as it will make no difference the negative balance on the old account was due to a scam and wasn't my fault i have a balance in my current one will they use that for the one they supposedly are linking me too or can I withdraw the money after 180 days pls help

Re: PayPal Limitation
 

I think the cant

Re: PayPal Limitation
 

Try callimg them once

Re: PayPal Limitation
 

Alright guys just to update you, Paypal gave me a call and told me that I have a negative balance due to numerous chargebacks which I have to pay, in order to lift the limitation. Might just get this over with just so I can get the original account back, and close the new one I created. So yeah, turns out that Paypal were not going to "permanently" delete my account.

Re: PayPal Limitation
 

You may find you pay the fees and they still don't let you use the account.

If they are legitimate chargebacks (I assume they are) you should still pay them.

Re: PayPal Limitation
 

yeah ill pay them, as they stated that my account will be in good standing again, also ill need to confirm my identity and they'll lift the limitation. If they don't abide by their words, then i'll just leave the account.
