Re: New stealth paypal account
September 8th I purchased an account on here (80 days of age at the time).
Waited a week before selling, then started selling about one or two items per week.
All was going well.
Then I had a client in real life who (for a legit service) could pay me $715 only with a company Amex card, or PP. I was reluctant to offer my newish PP account which hadn't seen any transactions >$100. But finally I sent her the request.
She sent the money. There it was in my PP. All was well.
I transferred half of it to my bank account. Got the very common "this looks suspect" message, but after many days, I saw the money in my bank account.
The next day, limited. "We need your photo ID, supplier info, tracking info, fingernail clippings, stool sample, etc."
This PP account was about 110 days old, and became active (transactions) for about 40 days. Pretty sure it was the $700 (legit) transaction that got it limited.
I'm now gonna try to figure out how to accept credit cards (clueless about it).
Anyone reading this, learn.
Don't receive large amounts of money on a PP account unless it's 6 months old (I guess?) and has several months of transactions.
P.S. I can't believe you've had nearly 500 sales in three weeks, let alone on a new account. |
