Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

Yeah no kidding.

Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

yes also popped a few times recently. highly doubt its linkage :nerd:

Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

did you just submit docs and wait on reply OR did you call and speak to someone as well?

Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

One account passed with flying colors and another they requested business info and i use my business accounts.

Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

This weekend looks like they had a little wave of shutdowns. I lost a few accounts myself.

You are not being linked, It has to do with what you are selling / how much. They run their bots and a percentage of what gets pulled for manual review is going to go down. My accounts that go limited were all limited the same day within 5 hours of each other.

Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

Alright what IP are you all using? I am using IP Burger, I had real business banking, real cell phone with a real company prepaid. The only thing I can think of is IP address now.

I didn't sell much the account is 5.5 months old and did $3k on both almost. The first month $800

What I should go way slower now? I think it's VPN that is leaking something.

Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

$800 for the first month is pretty fast for a brand new PP.

Your sales probably triggered the limitations. Selling too much too fast and/or selling riskier items.

Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

The other one did $60 the first month was slow. So what you wait 5.5 months to hit us up?

No man that's not it.

I think it's starting to be VPN. It's the only thing that links to stealths. Not everyone who does well in sales will get flagged for selling good amount.

If it's a problem for them let them hold funds for 6 months while you use the account. But it's something else that we don't know about. My friend getting hit within hours apart along with others?

Next thing you going to say we are in the wrong right? Real phone, real banking, real address, just using VPN.

I been doing this since 2012. Never seen so many going down at once by tons of people.

Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

About how many have you seen get shut down?

Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

I had one get limits and docs removed it.

The other 2 are on hold and requested a 2nd set of docs.

Bank statement with the account I am pulling funds out of. And the other business doc and invoice again.

My buddy lost 2. I got a feeling I'm going to lose these 2 also.

Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

ID's and invoices did not work?

Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

Originally three PayPal accounts were limited and then it became four when the weekend ended.

As I was checking these accounts yesterday I logged in as I usually do and all four had the limitations removed and I didn’t have to do anything.

Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

Apparently they did a purge, and then undid it. :boink:

Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

I wonder if the unlimitation is a mistake on their end and they'll limit the accounts again later though.

Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

SaiJin-San, please don't jinx me lol. I already hate this emotional roller coaster with eBay/PayPal as it is.

Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

Here are the two MOST important things that PayPal looks at:

1) Transaction history.
2) Tracking information.

That's it. Tracking is SO important that you will automatically lose a dispute without it. It's so important that you can even win a Not as Described dispute by providing tracking alone.

Of course there are other factors, but those are the top two without a doubt.

Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

Hey nickopedia, thank you for you input.

You're on the ball.
In reference to the transaction history for the ex-limited PayPal accounts, I originally believed and still believe that it was the transaction history that got me limited. From Jan' 2018 through Nov' 2018 I did about 10k in sales. In Dec' 2018 I did about 15k alone and in Jan' 2019 I did about another 15k. So I understood why PayPal sent me the unusual activity e-mail.

In reference to the tracking history well I was never worried about that nor will I ever be. All orders are printed straight from eBay so the tracking is getting uploaded back on PayPal immediately. All orders get scanned individually and also by their respective scan forms when I'm at the post office.

Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

As I said in my post.

It's either going to be something in your transaction history or the (lack) of tracking that will cause this.

I long had an hypothesis that 99% of all PayPal limitations are triggered by those two things. PayPal looks at likely hundreds of datasets for their fraud system, but it's a lot simpler once you get the big picture and worked with it for a good while.

Give PayPal what they want on this request and you should be OK. For most limitations, they are largely automated and no humans may actually review your submissions anyway. :cool:

Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

Sorry sorry, I'm just being paranoid.
You still going to keep using the account or are you going to sleep it for a week and see what they do?

Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

Yeah lost 2 accounts, they asked for a 2nd set of docs. I go in next day to upload it. I don't see the limitation no more. I print orders for those customers and used PP to pay for postage, then I cashed out.

I won't be touching this account again.

I think that there ban wave that they did on us all. Hurt them too much that they backed off, or had too much work, or just a system glitch in all. Even after calling about some, it was a dead end. Even after docs.

Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

I think they had more then what they wanted, and backed off or had so much work?

I had 2 go down, and a 3rd one requested a 2nd set of docs. On the next day I go to upload these docs, limitation is also gone!

I printed orders for waiting customers, then I cashed out all my funds. It gave me a 12h security standard thing I haven't had in months. Cash hit the bank account after that.

I just dumped the account. My one friend also had something like this happen they asked him for a set of docs, he provided it went away. About 2 months down the road again limitation with the same docs, then closed him finally. So I'm not dealing with anything that's "glitchy" or whatever with pp no more. I just cash out and I am done with it. NEXT!

I got stealths that lasted me 3 yrs+ and older, and my mains still.

Something about newer accounts going down I had noticed. And I had real banking withdraws and real phone number on top of it.

I can't wait for PP to be gone totally 2021!

I think it's a crime to hold peoples funds for 6 months at 0%. This should be a crime. I know they got TOS and hide behind a building of lawyers. But soon these guys will be history like myspace, aol, aim, yahoo, and the rest who faded away over time.

Re: Three PayPal accounts limited.
 

I'll continue to use it and give it a break very soon.
