Do I need to take some caution?
 

Hello,

I am about to create a few paypal accounts, which are going to be registered in a small Europe nation (which means, paypal does not get that many new registrations every day) and since I am selling mainly in one ebay category, if I make those PPs as business accounts, I am also gonna need to put the same categories where I am gonna sell.

Do I need to take some precaution here and take a certain period of time before creating new account, mix between personal & business accounts etc. or am I too paranoid here and should not bother myself too much?

What strategy should I use in this case?

Thank you!

any advice on this case please?

Re: Do I need to take some caution?
 

Seems like you at overcomplicating it

Its a lot harder to run a EU PayPal than a UK one

You need the right countries IP, the right VCC, the right bank account, the right address and docs etc.

Its a lot more work with no real benefit

Re: Do I need to take some caution?
 

I know, but right now I am not in the UK (and I do not know when I am going to be here) so I got no choice!

Re: Do I need to take some caution?
 

any advice from other experienced members?

Re: Do I need to take some caution?
 

I created an account a week ago and submitted all the docs and confirmed&verified the account, but I still have not received an email that my account is completely confirmed (ID, proof of address etc.)

Should I give them a call? Would it help?
I just dont want to start listing until paypal fully verifies my account

Re: Do I need to take some caution?
 

It can take several weeks for documents to be reviewed.

Would call accelerate this?
would it be of any benefit or just a waste of time?

Re: Do I need to take some caution?
 

I guess it depends very much on where you are from. If you are UK citizen it's easier to operate UK paypal, if you are french or italian it might be easier to operate the respective paypal accounts. Correct me if I am wrong.

Re: Do I need to take some caution?
 

You are correct.

At the time of posting, the OP was displaying a UK flag and James' answer was based on the OP residing in the UK.

Re: Do I need to take some caution?
 

so should I call to paypal to accelerate the confirmation of the account?

Re: Do I need to take some caution?
 

I personally won't call. I just let things progress the natural way and away from the prying eyes of normal people.

But again, it's your decision...

Re: Do I need to take some caution?
 

Thank you for your advice!

Well, it's one week that passed and nothing from their side.
Not sure what to do, maybe just start listing.

Re: Do I need to take some caution?
 

I'd use your other accounts first if I were you. If you don't have any, you can buy some accounts that have high limit.

I'm just very cautious and would rather be inconvenient for a while than lose everything

Re: Do I need to take some caution?
 

Should I log in to that account once in a while?
To pretend I am a new customer or smth

Re: Do I need to take some caution?
 

login and browse around, look at the help / faq section.

Re: Do I need to take some caution?
 

Is this information (searching and stuff) recorded in the cookies?

Re: Do I need to take some caution?
 

So I did all the steps required by paypal to fully verify my account and I only got 10/650.

Why this low? Any advice on how to increase that ASAP?

Re: Do I need to take some caution?
 

Your PayPal account being fully verified has nothing to do with eBay selling limits

Re: Do I need to take some caution?
 

What affects limits then?

They can see your activity to the T.

Sorry, but what is T?

It's just another way of saying, "everything".

Re: Do I need to take some caution?
 

Damn it, I accidentally logged to multiple ebay accounts with the same IP.
Should I expect to be linked (those 2 accounts) and consider them dead?

Is there anything I can do to fix the situation?
Please help!!
