paypal sole proprietor
 

hi guys, sorry if im posting in the wrong area

i needed help, i just created a PP account and followed instructions to the T, i havent made the ebay account yet but wehn i made the PP account i added an ein and my friends name( with his permission) and shortly after there was an account alert to add a photo ID and SS and or ITin.

did i do something wrong? shold have a picked another optionwhen reating the paypal? i chose sole proprietor. individual and used my EIN

Re: paypal sole proprietor
 

Shortly after getting this request means something is tripping a flag on setup of the account.

What kind of IP did you use?

Re: paypal sole proprietor
 

hi, thanks for the reply
i used a residential proxy from ip burger as they recommended that for the first month.
i also used a new computer new hotspot device, new account user, new bank, new paypal, new ein

all i can think about is that when i setup my ip burger they said location is not important, rather they look at how often the ISP changes, for example i have at&t and they said its better to use the isp feature over location which contradicts the whole being within 50 km of the address, i emailed back and forth before i set up my account and they assured me that was the best way and works better then city and state :ranger:

Re: paypal sole proprietor
 

who did you email ?

Re: paypal sole proprietor
 

i emailed ip burger staff and thats what they told me i could fwd the message

Re: paypal sole proprietor
 

I actually agree with everything they said.

I did per their instructions and I haven't had issues

Re: paypal sole proprietor
 

i promise i followed every single step to the TTTTTT and didnt even try to spare an expense new everything guys, even a laptop! new ip resedentail new hotspot, used an LLC
i made sure i read the book 4 times before i even acted bc im not working with a crazy captial so i had to calculate every single move.

do you offer a phone service i will gladly pay to understand where i went wrong even though i followed every single thing

Re: paypal sole proprietor
 

you don't need residential IP to use the account, just to create the account.

if you're having issues after creating new account, just buy one.

just open a new windows user, new firefox/chrome portable, get new IP and buy an account.

Re: paypal sole proprietor
 

Ditch the account. Start over and make a simple non business account.
You can switch it over to business later if you need/want to.

Re: paypal sole proprietor
 

it sounds like Paypal is adding new requirements for new account,SSN for sole proprietorship and photo Id for AI

Re: paypal sole proprietor
 

Why would you add a EIN on a freshly made account?

IMO it's best to add it just before the 60th day or just before you hit $1000 in sales in a 30 day period.

My guess is you added the EIN incorrectly for a Stealth acct

:comp5:

Re: paypal sole proprietor
 

Do no use dynamic IP when for PayPal. You have a hotspot, why do you still need a separate residential ip address? The hotspot is your best IP address solution among other else.

Re: paypal sole proprietor
 

Hey thanks for getting back, i was only using it to create the account and planned on switching to a fresh ip after a few sales, i also only did the paypal part and not ebay yet, thats when i stopped. looking into buying an account from stealth acc.

Re: paypal sole proprietor
 

thanks for the feedback, i only created the PP, i used a fresh Ein and my buddy agreed to use his name for the PP and ebey acc so i signed up with my ein and his name, now i asked him if i could use his info to verify. he said yes, i haven't given them anything else yet.
should i still ditch the account?
Taxes should go under the ein as i plan to pay them and keep the account and my buddys name in good standing correct?

Re: paypal sole proprietor
 

it seems so

Re: paypal sole proprietor
 

Thanks for your reply
I read that a hotspot devices IP would likely be recyled and you dont know where its coming from so its better to create the acoount with a residential proxy then later change to fresh ip.

also was told to use an ISP sticky IPs with a session time of 30 minutes over location. thats why i choose to go the IP burger route

Re: paypal sole proprietor
 

Hey, thank you for your reply and feedback. hmm i may have jumped the gun on creating the business account before a personal one

where could i have made the mistake? when i signed up i clicked business, and filed under proprietor. could it be that i created the EIN under my name and since i put my buddies on file with PP ?
when they asked for SS i put the last 4 of the EIn of the business,
For the address i rented a UPS mal box with a street address too and put that for the PP address, is that where i messed up?

Re: paypal sole proprietor
 

Oh no. You are misinformed sir.
Having the DSL, mobile Internet, HOtspots are the most reliable and your best choice for your IP address solution.
It is 1000% better than any VPN or residential Proxies Providers. I myself is using a residential proxy provider, but i will always recommend the NATURAL/REAL IP address solution if available.
Also, it is true the hotpots or ISP IPs are being recycled. How much more with these VPN providers?
All of the VPN providers are recycling their IPs without you knowing about it. There's no such thing as Virgin/fresh IPs in 2020. IPV4 is very limited now, so these IPV4 IPs are being recycled over and over again.
To add, having the 30 minutes sticky IP session is not good at all in my experience. I have been locked with my stealth accounts due to UNUSUAL Activity. No one will ever restart their modems every 30 minutes normally. You always need to be just like a NORMAL user. Even if you restarted your internet modem or data, it is not guaranteed that you always get a new IP, but they are oly on the same subnets.
I can link you some reliable sources to support on this.
Hope this helps.

Re: paypal sole proprietor
 

this is awesome insight, thank you for explaining it in depth.
i choose an Ip. burger resdential proxy for 75$
i agree with your thought proccess on the sticky ip address, its should raise some suspicion im guesisng but then again im not an expert.
what

Re: paypal sole proprietor
 

No problem. Make your own research first. That's what i always do.
I'm getting my Static Residential Proxies for $10.00 per month.

Re: paypal sole proprietor
 

Agent, stop saying these things as it's not true.

They aren't REQUIRING SSN nor Photo ID.

Re: paypal sole proprietor
 

It's true that most providers aren't trustworthy, that is why we recommend IPburger as provider.
What you experienced or think are not usually what is happening and why you are having trouble.
