Tricky situation RE paypal
 

I have two solid stealth paypals and i had a couple legit ones but they got shut down

Two people owe me 2/3 thousand dollars.

They used to make regular payments to my now deceased account

I don't want to put my other stealth accounts at risk by accepting these large payments (normally these accounts receive many very small payments)

How can i get the money off these people? Sure would love to be able to get it

Re: Tricky situation RE paypal
 

were these payments outside of ebay? were they friends/family payments (gift)

If I was owed that, PayPal wouldn't even be in the equation...

Can they not send an international / UK bank transfer?

Re: Tricky situation RE paypal
 

They are international payments and they are not reliable people.

I would like to be able to receive paypal payments and not rely on people like these to get off their butts and make a call to the bank

They are payments outside of ebay yeah

You will ALWAYS have issues with such large payments taking place on your account outside ebay, especially on new accounts.

The tricky situation is your business plan.

Amend that to avoid tossers.

Can you avoid using PP OP? I would really look into that

Re: Tricky situation RE paypal
 

How can i do this ? Would love to have no tossers.

I think you can set up PP to bill them weekly, monthly, etc. on an ongoing basis, in small increments. Once it becomes a regular cyclical transaction, it's less likely to be flagged.

However I agree, just get them to send you money through snail mail, or some other means. Western union money orders are good anywhere there's a Western Union.

Europeans are into bank transfers, if I recall correctly, maybe you can open a bank account just for that, and then clear the funds out as soon as they hit the bank.

Don't attach it to any other bank account in case they try to chargeback.

And don't deal with these kind of idiots any more.

are you selling items or service?

i opened stealth first two payments (same guy) was about $1200. Had no problem. of course need to give tracking and wait 3 days after delivery to take funds out.

also i used the account to make large purchases (about $2500 over a month span) before i received any payments...this may of helped.

Western Union is tougher to get buyers to use...just saying due to scam potential
