Paypal limited...... need help!!!!

[zuchowski123]

Just started selling on eBay and sold about 10 items for around $1500. Then bam PayPal asking for required info to lift limited account status. This is my real account info but the items I have purchased were from yardsales or flea markets. I don’t have a supplier is there a way around this?

...hmmm... 10 items for 1500$... roughly 150$ each... at flea market?

I guess those were in high risk category (computer, phones, electronics). Not surprised PayPal is asking "whatthehellisgoingon".

New accounts has to start slowly and avoid certain categories.

There's a good chance you can get it back if this is really your real account with your real info. Upload all the identity documents they're asking for. Then make yourself a paper invoice for the items you sold and get the merchant at the flea market to sign off on it.

They're primarily trying to make sure they have valid identification information for you. You're selling expensive stuff and they're worried you may try to run off with the money after ripping off customers.

This is normal. Like what phaz0rz said, sent the required docs to them, and the limitation will easily be lifted. Never failed to restore my accounts with this kind of limitation, so far. Goodluck.

Moving forward OP, don't sell so quickly on a new account, let alone electronic products (if so) or other high risk items

The problem: high value in a short amount of time

And get invoices or receipts.

IRS will want to see them at some point.

Good Luck.

This isnt a stealth account so you shouldnt have any problems,but make sure to submit those documents on time,as any delays could cause a permanent limitation from what i have experience

OP, you have gotten some really good advice here. Make sure you follow them.

Moving forward, I recommend you read the stealth guide so you know more how to operate your business moving forward.
