Best ways to get into Paypal's good graces...

[ebayaintstupid]

Seems like many will be required to use Paypal. We can see, though, that the limitations can be nasty to deal with, if it is even possible.

So, I figured I would start a thread to see if anyone has suggestions how to avoid Paypal's wrath on a new account.

Aspkin's footer says it all. "A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it. — Einstein."

ebayaintstupid, Knowledge is best, yes. I have changed my ways. (yes, I have repented of my sins.QUACK).
Now I make a paypal account first and let it be verified. Buy goods and pay using that account.Do this for 3 weeks. Then I create ebay account which I link. I start to buy on ebay slowly and 'yippee, I can use paypal'. I leave at least
some funds in a paypal account always. So there is seldom a nil balance.
This works for me. But I used to have hassles when I was less careful. Was a
bit of a joke with me, but now I have sworn never to let paypal beat me.EVER.

I agree greenbean...my paypal account was recently limited...it was already verified with cc and bank account...they wanted me to up-grade to business account, which I did and provide proof of address, which I did, limit was lifted, but before all of this happened I actively used my paypal account as both buyer and seller, I'm sure this was taken into account. In the past I didn't do this and paypal would screw me every time, this time seems to be working, at least I hope.
