90 paypal accounts got limited in 2 DAYS

[rayraymond1218]

Last night was the worst night ever, not only my macbook had to be sent to apple to get fixed(might lose ebay files) also came home to find out:

10 of paypal accounts with working bank accounts got limited and have to wait 180 days to withdraw.

80 of them are asking me to confirm location, provide invoice and proof of delivery.

I learned this the hard way and I need your advices,

Should I give it a try for those 80 accounts? or should I just work on the aged back up accounts? Is it save to keep selling on those 80 ebay accounts?

Any feedback is appreciateed

You're the second person that I have seen on here with a huge number of PayPal accounts limited in one go... the last guy had about 50 limited. Personally I would just die if I had all those accounts go down at once!

I wouldn't waste my time trying to get them back. Move on to your backup accounts and find an alternative payment method for the bay accounts if possible.

Not much point in trying to get those 80 reinstated.
If all of these accounts died at the same time the only explanation is that they were somehow linked. Something you did got them all linked and since theyre all linked and ebay knows this your chances of getting any of them unlocked are slim to nonexistent.
How did you handle your accounts? did you have separate user accounts for each account? From your post it sounds like youre using a Mac so I dont how things work on that OS - do they also use the concept of separate user accounts?
Give us more info so we can least help you figure out what went wrong so it doesnt repeat itself in the future.

Since eBay accounts are fine I guess the only reason they got linked was because the repeating payments between each. Should I keep selling on those 80 eBay accounts?

[css1]

you were sending payments between each?

That would likely be the starting point, then Paypal saw similarities between the actual accounts.

Things like this don't happen for no reason...... How old were these accounts? Definitely a linkage caused this. Start thinking what you did that caused this linkage... and start again without making this mistake.

Hello,
Whenever I have a string of accts go down, all within 1,2,3 days, I start to analyze what I've done. I keep notes for each acct on index cards. Even certain weird questions from a buyer, who maybe fishing for ebAys purposes.

As for reinstatement, I always go back and fax in a slew of reinstatements if needed

Now, if some of the accts have zero puts in them, and are not automatically linked to certain eBay accts, then let these go.
I would definitely quarantine those accts,both eBay and pp, until you can discern
What actually happened.
I always look at a jealous seller first.( because the linking to a dead acct can't be done with my system) anyhows,good luck untangling..
Happy days are coming..

90 Accounts, sounds like a major linking.

If you have not yet worked out how/why/what caused the limitations, I would look at other means of verifying accounts.

No, I would not use any bank with VBAs that had been used on other accounts.

I would make sure I had entirely different info , including financial.

Were all 90 selling the same items?

if you could create 90 accounts, you can create anther 90, mean while you are trying to reinstate your limited access accounts
