PayPal Restriction Counterfeit goods
 

Hi,

I hope some one can help. I have had my PayPal account locked. I sold 1 item on ebay that turned out to be ⊗⊗⊗⊗. I refunded the buyer with no problem. How ever PayPal have decided to lock my account. The item sold had a value of £7.50.

I have spoken to PayPal and they say my account is locked game over. For the sake of one item. They will not unlock the account and say they will review in 6 months.

The question I have is this. Can I just link a new PayPal account to my ebay account or is that it?

My PayPal account was a business account. For a limited company business. I have a personal PayPal account. Can I link my personal PayPal account to my ebay account or will they block that as well.

Will using other PayPal accounts through my IP address (using the same laptop) give me problems as well.

Can some one please help as I am unable to trade at this time. I am sat on a huge amount of stock that am currently unable to sell at the most busy time of year.

Please help.

Thank you.

If you added a new PayPal it would get banned sooner or later. It used to work a few years ago but PayPal are pretty wise to it now. The ban could take 1 week it could take 4 months its impossible to tell but it often happens within a few weeks.
