We shall see.

I hope he's right too. I thought about that too, maybe it hasn't hit all accts yet. Fingers crossed

Unverified (no bank, VCC) acct #1, created 2/2016 : Received a payment 4/18 without "claim it" message. Hasn't rec'd any payments on 4/19 so I can't say anything definitively. eBay fees paid from PP balance with no problem.

Thank you very much for sharing! eBay fees were paid today?

phaz0rz · #**641** 04-19-2018

Correct - They were paid 5 minutes ago.

The fee payment page defaulted to Paypal balance just as it's always done. Same page is used to invoice money out but I haven't tried that yet.

ernest2449 · #**642** 04-19-2018

Perfect. More good news - and on a somewhat (less than 90 day old) new acct. At least for the time being that is. Like we were saying - either the update hasn't quite hit yet, or we should all mostly be in the clear. The next few days should tell.

But at least one more day to buy labels without a workaround lol

The account I referenced is 2+ years old, lol.

2nd unverified account I checked this morning was permanently limited last night.

Oh darn. Just as I was getting my hopes up lol. I guess read the post wrong.

I suppose the unverified one to get canned, one could expect may happen. If the worst they're doing is cracking down on unverified accts, that's no big deal. So still good news about the older acct still being good to pay fees.

As far as I have seen there have been no changes to PP. I am thinking that the update has not hit yet, or maybe it really has been blown out of proportion and it is more of a minor update. Either way stealth will live on, many work arounds already in play.

Hey Fox! Hope all is well.

I am hoping that yes all has simply been blown out of proportion.

But either way, good to hear that solutions are already in the works

Just sent $50 to another paypal of mine as a friend payment.

Fear mongering.

Was the receiver PP verified?

jporter396 · #**648** 04-19-2018

Agreed, printed all labels and paid all fees this morning. nothing, either will be a slow roll out or overblown changes. time will tell

I do not even see any difference but, yesterday a lot of my ebays got banned for no reason(did not even list and i just called a few days ago). Some of my paypals all sudden have a 21 day hold again and some payments from places like seria are making me manually confirm now.

hmmm good theory. It could be if the accounts are not verifed we cannot send it. It would be good for paypal to do this, less scams would happen.

It may make it harder ,but maby we would treat out accounts even better. I know i sure as hell would instead of using some as disposable accounts.

If we have not verified your identifying information, a balance in your PayPal account can generally only be held in your PayPal account and transferred to a linked bank account or debit card.

Sounds like how they operate limitations due to identity or risk issues with accounts. If you fully verify then itll be lifted. Aka a limitation

That's a very interesting point of view, especially since paypal was sued for holding money too long (somebody correct me if I'm wrong)

Chances are not great that this is the case

nate · #**657** 04-22-2018

For what it's worth I just checked on one of my unverified accounts that's only rockin' a pre-paid card. Its still alive and well...

The account is one year and a couple days old.

ebaystealth1974 · #**658** 04-22-2018

Did you try making a payment with the money? I don't think losing the account is a fear of anyone's... just what you can do with the money.

slokor · #**659** 04-22-2018

Looks more and more like this was a non event. Sounds more like a play by paypal to cover their behinds in case of a class action law suit.
And not a word from the smartguy who started this thread.
What happened to all that fearmongering friend?

smartguy · #**660** 04-22-2018

I'm fine. Got 10 payments today and I made like 5 payments from US accounts. All is fine.
