Moving money between stealth accounts
 

I would think I'd find a dialog up here on this topic, but I don't....
Anyway....

I have stealth account S1, that allows me to withdraw $500 per month.
I have stealth account S2, that allows me to withdraw an unlimited amount per month.

After I hit my $500 limit on S1, I put something up for sale on S2, at a rediculous high price (ok, not too reduculous), and S1 buys it, and pays S2 for it....thus transfering money from S1 to S2.

If S2 and S2 are good, clean, stealth accounts, in excellent standing, shouldn't this work, without linking the two? Especially if S1 has made other purchases from other sellers on EB in the past?

...Why do all that? Just send the $500 as a "payment owed" to the other stealth PayPal! Do not do this if they have the same name!

1. Few times might work - keep doing that and you might trigger a flag therefore linking the two accounts and causing problems.

2. Remember that your payment may be subjected to 21-day hold because you bought via eb ay - yeah laughable but worth noting if you need the cash badly.

It's not that bad for sparing usage.

Maybe there's no dialog 'cos it's a daft idea?

Pay attention to the advice from shoot2kill & rsot.... workable advice should be your aim:pop2:

Why do the payment owed when you only have a few stealth accounts. Your giving PP more of your money. Just open some more banks accounts at your bank or online, its so easy. Just dont do the EB and PP thing you mentioned, your giving them even more money.
Do the payment owed when you have lots more stealth accounts opened and selling. Then do the payment owed thing. That is my plan of action.

Very true yotsno - straight to BANK is solid but I am just commenting on what OP wants.

The problem is, like I said in my original post, S1 has a $500/month withdrawl limit. S2 does not.

So get the account S1 verified with a gift card and a VBA or real bank account, then you can withdraw more then $500/month.

If you want to do the EB and PP thing like you said, then go ahead, but your giving them lots more of your money. Plus you have to input tracking # info, if you don't put any tracking I would expect it might bring up some red flags. Like GrannyTranny once said, "you want them to purrr....". If you make them purrr, you can get away with more stuff.

I do this only to buy supplies or have a paypal account just laying around with cash in them(dont want to add a bank account). Been doing this for 2 years no issues.

There shouldnt be a problem as long ad you have used both of them for a while so it won't trigger a red flag

To verify, they are also asking for a SS#.
How do you get past that one?

You have to either provide one or call them up to try and sweet talk your way out.

One of the options is the SS#, but the other two options is a credit card (gift card) or a bank account (VBA). Once those two are verified then they will take out the monthly limit.
It worked for me on 3 PP account already, and in the past. Unless they want more info on you.

I would advise against sending money between 2 stealth accounts. Paypal sees this as high risk and will limit you. I've done this before when starting and it always went wrong.

Very well stated greg009 - there are much better ways as discussed many times on the forum.

I NEVER send money between two Paypal accounts unless I'm building feedback and need to make a purchase look genuine. To my way of thinking it is a stupid risk not worth taking - if you do it then that's fine because it is your money at risk and not mine

Good luck with it

Not one to toss money from one to another I thought I would test it and did the payment owed and now got the question "Please provide proof that item or service was provided". Once this is resolved the money may be released.

Anyone else get this issue for sending money like this?

More than likely the dozens of sellers who think this is the latest 'cool' way to beat paypal.

Their bots will have picked up the increase of the numbers of such transactions....they analyse it .

And there is the outcome, prove the transaction.

Results/comments? be careful of exposing an account to paypal scrutiny just to get your own monies.:suspicious:

This is not unlike that wonderful penny refund....once the world found it, paypal stopped it.

Simply a repeat. As much as we think paypal are stupid, they are not.:rant:

This method is very risky and I have yet to try it. If I'd recommend getting your cash out the easiest way it would be by purchasing a gift card or something from Walmart and then returning it back for a full refund?

you cannot return gift cards for a refund, you use it, or try to sell it to a friend or anyone if you need that cash
