Personal PayPal permanently blocked
 

Hi guys,

So one of my EU stealth PayPals got permanently blocked after I received some personal royalties from a company that were sent as if I was getting paid for goods & services.

PayPal insisted that these look like business payments, and I need to supply fulfilment and shipping data. Of course there's nothing like that involved.

Now the account was already verified with an ID a couple of months ago, but I never added a bank account or VCC to it, I just spent the money on the account paying for different services and subscriptions (all personal).

I have a couple more accounts with a similar income & spending pattern, and I don't want to lose them.
Would adding VCCs / VBAs help with the accounts, or it's just a matter of time the other accounts go down a similar path?

Thanks

Paypal receives no income serving you if you keep receiving friend and family payments,so it is watching you .
I doubt adding VCC or bank account is going to help.

PP is great, sadly, at analyzing patterns and repeat behaviour. If all the other accounts have similar income and spending pattern, I'd wager that those accounts could be affected but never can be sure 100% when.

Confirming accounts with a VCC and verifying with a bank account may help but you might want to look at switching up behaviours immediately.

The issue is not ID or lack of VCC and bank account,it is fee avoidance.
The sender is finding a way to pay you without incurring any fee.like cutting a check,licking a stamp and place it inside an envelope and going to the post office.
