Disposable pp accounts
Hello. This thread is an intro AND a series of pp questions, so mods, please move if I am in the wrong area.
I have been ghosting here for several months now but I have been reading a lot more in the past three days. There is a lot of good info here on the boards, even from old threads and I just want to say thanks to all contributors.
Here's a little background on me...
I've had eb and pp accounts since 2003. For many years I was a casual buyer that occasionally made a sale or two. During college I sold maybe a dozen used textbooks for very little return. Then I left ebay alone for a few years. Last year I began playing with quibids (anyone familiar with that site?) and won some gift cards at really low prices. SO, naturally I went to ebay and made nice profit from my quibids winnings. After that gravy train passed I sold some random household items that did fairly well. This accumulated activity earned me some great feedback, 50/5000 limits and instant access to pp funds. At this point the approximate time was August of last year.
Well, a few months later I began selling a digital good in large quantities. I did very well with this item despite it being against eb & pp TOS or whatever. Anyway, after a couple weeks of strong sales I got my pp account limited. I was cashing out everyday, sometimes twice or thrice a day, so I never lost any funds. My girlfriend wanted in on the action and she had two pp accounts, so I worked off of those for about a month before both became limited. Of course, continuing to cash out religiously.
EB has never really been an obstacle for me; it is pp that is the toughest issue for me to figure out now. I am going stealth, so no more pp debit card and instant cash outs. That poses a real question because I cash out daily in case pp tries some slick stuff. I am concerned that after attempting to withdraw to a bank account that the payments may somehow be reversed. Anyone have any advice on this? Can pp even reverse a withdrawal to a bank account or am I just being paranoid?
I could care less about having to start over with accounts. In fact, I am anticipating it quite frequently in the future. Just need a little tailored advice for a guy who is esentially using disposable accounts.
Thanks folks.
