Paypal account always get limit
 

I have open several stealth paypal account accept funds from ebay sale. Every time the paypal get limit when sale $ reach $1000. I am asked to input tax information. I have open the new paypal account several time and ever time I am asked for tax information when accept funding reach $1000.

Ask help for this. It is said paypal ask tax ID information when $20000 / 200 transaction, however, I am asked when reach $1000. Do I something wrong?

Please help !

How soon are you getting to the $1,000 mark?

Re: Paypal account always get limit
 

Paypal does ask for your tax id/ssn/ein if they believe you will reach the $20,000 limit within one year or so,
I recommend to diversify your selling to stay under paypal's radar

Re: Paypal account always get limit
 

wow How many item did you sale? If you sale like 180/1000k or you sell 5/1000k i think they could ask for tax information.

Re: Paypal account always get limit
 

If paypal projects youll reach 20k in one year they'll ask for that info.
Youre selling too fast which is why this is happening.
The solution is to open multiple accounts and watch the amount of sales on each one.

I just sell a few items and receive about $1000 within 4 months. Also I use several paypal accounts to diversify the loading. However, it seems every account get limited to ask SSN when around $1000. Even I stop to receive the fund at a few hundreds and then back to receive fund 4 month later, my account still get limit when total amount reach $1000.

It is not $20000/ 200, it is $1000. How can I receive more fund before my account get limited?

Thanks a lot in advance

Re: Paypal account always get limit
 

@mayflower, a lot depends on what you are selling - if you are operating via stealth method but always selling same things...perhaps it is your pattern that is causing problem.

Also, pp can limit based on PROJECTED sales rate...

Re: Paypal account always get limit
 

What % completion are your PP profiles at? 60%? 80%? Are you adding phone numbers, bank, and CC info?

Re: Paypal account always get limit
 

That is a good question. I do not think it is projections as slokor had said. Projections do not seem to occur this often. For you to get asked this EVERY time makes me think that this is not what it is.

Perhaps the projection occurs because of the % of completeness of the paypal account. Are all your paypals made the same way? Do you have a bank attached? What bank (if you dont mind)?

Your paypal % completeness is composed of 5 thngs, each worth 20%
1. account creation
2. email confirmation
3. credit card verified
4. bank account confirmed
5. mobile phone confirmed

Completing all 5 steps will give you 100% complete paypal

Re: Paypal account always get limit
 

All the 5 confirmation are done. Do I miss something which rise the flag around $1000 sales again and again?

Re: Paypal account always get limit
 

I used to get limitations but now i don't, follow these simple rules

1. get 25 transactions on ebay/paypal over period of 2-3mo
2. sell non-risky items
3. verify atleast 60-80% paypal account
4. do not take in too much in a short period of time $300 per month is ideal during 2-3mo
5. After 3mo, GO FREAKING CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Paypal account always get limit
 

It must be a link somewhere that flags the account. I have done 60-80% completion, 100 bucks a day in sales everyday and not one peep from PayPal, though I do slow down after it gets too much, say 1100 in my account. I've got limited but only because I didn't answer an open case which was stupid of me.

Re: Paypal account always get limit
 

Yeah, there must be a link between your accounts. Maybe your selling / using pattern. From what I know about Amazon's tracking methods...

Re: Paypal account always get limit
 

Skylineman, you are peppering the forum with nonsense answers. Try to read the title of the thread at least.
Here we are talking about PayPal... nothing to do with Amazon.

Re: Paypal account always get limit
 

Can't forget also depends on what you are selling mayflower - if it's risky/counterfeit/virtual....could also affect status of sales
