Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

What info is required to convert it to business and do they check it for validity?

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Did you get the VCC from our marketplace though?

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

My 12 year old paypal stealth business account isn't claim it yet but I'm unverified and will have to be after March 29.
-Since claim it accounts will have not be able to have a balance, what happens to your balance?
-What happens when someone wants a refund? Do you have to wait a month to claim all your payments so the money is still there if somone opens a claim and there is no balance there.
- I guess since you can't hold a balance, the account can never go negative which means you will get hit by the thing making you try to go negative...such as a refund getting kicked back to ebay as paypal not being able to process.
-My phone number is a landline under my real name for my stealth account. -How am I going to get around the call in bank account verification when they unattach my bank account account and make me re-verify via phone. I think I bought the first stealth book before any revisions where I was instructed to use a different phone number back then....and that was all it said.
-Right now the only hope I have is that a virtual credit card will work for refunds unless they take it out of my bank account...and that they don't unhook my bank account and make me re-verify. And I thought the last TOS update was bad.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

I'm wondering if I can receive more than 200 transaction and 10k without verification now after all pp goes claim it?

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

No. You cannot.
Theyre making things more strict - not easing them up.
Now you have both issues to deal with. The Claim it issue and the annual limit.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Is that for personal paypal accounts or business or both? The 200 transactions or $10,000 limit.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Its actually 200/$20,000.
And it applies to personal accounts only. Once you reach that limit they require you to upgrade to a business account.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Where did you read that they will unattach your bank account?

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

The person who started this thread wrote it in the first paragraph on page 1 I believe.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

I just had one my "claim it" account automatically pay the ebay fees which is great

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

I always pay my fees with a cash back credit card. Not sure why people have such a problem with this.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

There are many kids and non-Americans here without access to such things, I guess.

Also, to be fair, it'd be a PITA managing 20 cash back CC's for 20 accounts.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

True.

Mehh... that's what virtual numbers are for. :)

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

I dont know about you guys but my "claim it now" just turned into "accept the money".
Is this happenning to any one else and what does it mean?

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

What happens when you accept the money?

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

It stays in the PP balance and you need to add a bank account to claim the money...

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Goes into effect March 29th, Einstein.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

I wonder if you could hit the "Confirm Info" button and see for yourself?

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

When ebay is pulling funds from your bank account...are they really trying to get it from paypal but since the balance won't cover it, paypal pulls from the bank?

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Great.

Anybody know if you can pay several accounts (ebay fees) with one credit card? I really don't want to go out and get 9 prepaid cards and keep that straight in addition to all the other stealth stuff to track.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Not sure this is correct. At one time you could not continue to receive payments if you hit either 200 transacti8ons or $20 in sales. You would receive one warning at 175 (my amounts are low) and a second at 195. Then PP would shut you down until about Feb of the following year. I would just change my payment address and use a diff pp acct for the next 195 transactions. In a couple cases rotating 3 PP accts in one ebay acct.

What I think is incorrect is your statement that they require you to upgrade to a business acct. I don't think so, they just require verified info for tax reporting purposes after the limitations are met.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

That's one possible scenario.

Or if you're paying via ACH on eBay, eBay will pull all fees straight from your bank account.

Or if you're paying fees through Paypal and you select your bank account as the funding source rather than your balance, it will pull all fees from your bank account.

I'm really not sure what you're asking.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Yeah, me too. Ebay allows a person to have two accounts. I have 3 people on my credit cards. Theoretically I could have 6 accounts off one credit card.

What I thought I saw was that someone (ebay?) won't let you use prepaid cards for fees or shipping. If that is correct...???? If it is wrong, I guess I just have to stock up on cards and keep those organized too.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

His wording was wrong but I'd like to think the guy who sells the most PP accounts here understand how it works, lol.

Should've said "they require a tax ID", not "they require you upgrade to business account". :nerd:

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Since me and my address are "banned for life" from ebay selling, I won't be trying it. I am surprised ebay hasn't gotten involved in how this will go down. Their fee payments will surely suffer. Money is money and as far as I know, they are not being regulated in laundering control. I don't know why they would not accept money from pretty much any source.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

mm same as usual. i was able to withdraw to bank.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Could you elaborate on what exactly they mean by "personally verifiying them" now?

I've been trying to add a bank account (wf) for some days now and it just keep saying error and won't let me do it. Are we not able to add bank accounts to stealth accounts any longer or am I missing something? This happened to me with 2 unlinked accounts.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Hi it is only for USA from Europe there is never think like that and no one ask you for SS just when you reach 2500$ id and proff of adress and that is all.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

So after reading the thread it seems if you withdraw the funds to a bank account and have eBay fees paid by t he bank account you wont deal with the "claim it" scenario ?

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

You pretty much minimize the impact on your account by doing thing that way.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Guys what's the update on this situation?

In Nov 2018 Paypal asked me to enter SSN to verify the account otherwise I cannot use any money. I thought that was the end of road for me. My account had VBA attached as well as phone verified via SMS.
After 3 weeks I thought let's give it a try to see if I can pay using my balance.....and to my surprise it worked. I used it on Fiverr. Then I logged in to see that the notice about SSN was gone and my account was working normally.

So I was wondering what's the update now?

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

For shipping I use shippingeasy.com to ship my goods with built-in pre-paid endicia account. It pulls all your ebay orders at the same time and outputs packing slips and shipping labels. It will also automatically update the tracking numbers to eBay and paypal.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Did anyone else have their bank account unlinked by Paypal when it hit Claim It status like the guy who started this thread?

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Also, when they unlink your bank account is phone verification the only thing you have to do to add your bank account back on again? My 12 year stealth account has a landline phone number in my real name not stealth name. First, will I get a code via landline since they can't text me on it and second, will I fail since the names won't match?

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

So, if I understood this right, you now have to add real name, address, DOB and last 4 digits of SSN so than you can continue to spend and receive PayPal balance like before with this "PayPal Cash" thing? Can someone confirm if this is correct?

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Yes correct only if you want to spend or send money to another Paypal account or purchase goods using the PayPal balance.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

So is it best to pay fees with your attached bank or a prepaid debit/gift card now?

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Bank account seems to be fine. Been using it for a while now.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Don't do that.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Does anyone know if this changes anything with business account upgrades? When I reach the 200 20k limits are they going to insist I give them a social then or only want the last 4 of the SSI with my Tac ID number and business information? I really wish someone new if we could substitute the TAX ID number for the SSI. It would be easy to have a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ social made with the TAX id number instead of the social security number. FYI I have eBay managed payments on one of my accounts and I absolutely LOVE it.
