Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

Update I'm a little upset atm, I told a client send payment with goods and services yesterday and after that i received an automated email saying this below.

We need your help with a quick review of your account


So I decided to login quickly and see what was happening and I had received a temporarily suspension and now I can’t get access to certain features, however I can refund my customers as that feature has a big green tick next to it so I tried to refund them it said something different.

This transaction type is not eligible for refund, please contact PayPal customer support for further details.

Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

If using goods and services and it limits the account and blocks from moving the money im going back to using F&F option I can’t be dealing with PayPal temporarily limits again.

Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

why is that transaction does not qualify for refund?
also you said you do not check your stealth accounts ,so if there is a dispute,you would not know.
Paypal should send you an email when someone files a dispute.

Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

Sadly, account sounds like a mess between the abuse of F&F and issues with refunds - I would like at building backups in your shoes while sorting out stuff

Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

I don’t know why it’s not qualified for a refund and that transaction is goods and services, so PayPal are the bad guys here not me I tried paying my fees off and guess what PayPal limits the account.

Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

Well they deducted there fees from this transaction so why did they limit the account straight away after receiving the transaction.

Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

But they are not getting any fee from your F & F transactions,in their eyes,you are abusing F & F because these are not your friend or member of your family,they are your customers.
You can keep doing this and risk losing your account,it is up to you.

Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

What was the amount of the transaction and what types of goods was it for?

Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

Well if they didn’t limit my stealth account after receiving payment from a customer by using goods and services I wouldn’t have a problem using it because they decide to limit the account that means I can’t have access to the money until I provide ID and it happens all the time with me using goods.

Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

The amount was £90 and it was not a physical item.

Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

Do they even know it's NOT a physical item?

and I really don't think it's because of goods and service payment.
It's possible the sender's paypal is flagged.

Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

BTW you think you can show us the screen shot of the page where there is the warning sign?

Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

No they don’t know what the payment is for the transactions.

Well every time I have told the buyers to send the payment with goods and services they end up limiting my account straight away that’s why I don’t like using that option, I don’t mind paying them there fees.

Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

Yes I can upload screenshots, or I think maybe they got my ip on there black list and whenever I tell a customer to send there’s always a problem.

Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

Not sure how to upload a screenshot on here pal.

Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

Hiya mate, just found your threads coming from a google search and yeah PayPal has definitely changed quite A LOT these past few months. Have you by any chance found a workaround for f&f payments at all? Funny thing is some are able to send the money no problem, some can't send any amount at all so seems account-based.

Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

Paypal is so picky these days, i stopped using it altogether. If i even log in from a different ip im scared they will give a limitation

Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

Not too tough just fyi - there is an "insert image" icon when writing posts

Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

Spot on, but I think it also depends A LOT on which country the account is registered in. US and UK seem the most strict

Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

Do you think the flag is a direct correlation to using the goods and services option or something else on the account?

Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

Their security system must've been tweaked A LOT recently. It's extremely sensitive if they sense anything is off like IP or even the way you go through motions on their website/app they will llimit/block etc etc

Re: Why is PayPal doing this?
 

This is why i HATE paypal and stopped using their services years ago. I tried payoneer but sadly they are becoming similar with their 'security checks' and trigger-happy blocks.
