Perhaps Square or Shopify are worth considering.

FNF is fine in personal accounts. G&S is business account friendly. | So if I create a business PayPal account will it let me use G&S without receiving a limitation as it’s G&S friendly?

why not ask other sellers who sell digital if they have the same problem with Paypal,if you go to Paypal seller forum,you can see if others have same problem

UKGiftWarranty's post above is excellent. If you follow his advice you might have half a chance of getting new accounts up and running.

Is the device you used to register the new account the same as the one previously associated with a banned account? New accounts linked to a banned device are typically suspended as well.

Really frustrating and not sure why it’s happening.

Is this problem from my end or PayPal end?
Sometimes they let small payments come through like £5 or £10 and after that no more payments. https://imgur.com/a/tInG5Aq
Thanks. | How you managed to signup PP without Instant ID request? I dont need much, just signup for paypal WITHOUT ID.
Sometimes I can signup without instant limitation but this is rare case. For sure all information always different

It's either a verification issue or due to the age of the account or a combination of both.
Make sure you use a card with AVS enabled.
And on top of that, do this:- Quote:
You need to slowwwwwwww down. Create accounts, let them age at least a couple wekes before any payments. At that time, process 1 or 2 in week three. 1 or 2 in week four. Then you should be able to process freely. Also, don't even consider F&F payments until week five. Show PayPal you are happy with 21 day holds. (F&F on less than a month old account is suicide IMO - screams scam. Why would PayPal trust you?)
Some might be more aggressive than this with their timeline (which is fine), but we follow the above and it's very rare we run into issues.

Only thing extra that really makes an account stronger is adding a bank account and card

Great point about confirming the account with a cc/vcc and verifying with a bank account.
