Paypal just got limited randomly..

#1 06-01-2015

I created my account 2 weeks ago, everything was fine, listed an item and got a limitation straight away. They want me tk confirm another bank account even though ive already got one added. They want me to confirm my credit card (entropay) how do i do this? They want proof of address, i need tk validate my account info and they want business info. Any help at all? The ebay account is fine. Thanks

If this is only a 2 weeks old account I would let it go... you have probably been linked or listed something you shouldn't... what was the item you listed?

Try to understand what happened and why you have been limited.

Then start fresh with a new account.

Agree with the above, very little chance on this one. Try to find where you went wrong for the next one.

Sounds like a long list of things to do - even if you get them done, you may not be reinstated - I agree with ilcarletto - start fresh.

We need your help resolving an issue with your account. To give us time to
work together on this, we've temporarily limited what you can do with your
account until the issue is resolved.

We understand it may be frustrating not to have full access to your PayPal
account. We want to work with you to get your account back to normal as
quickly as possible.

It's been a little while since you used your account. For reasons relating
to the safe use of the PayPal Service we need some more information about
you and your account.

Thats the message, and got this message after selling something for £20+

Ive confirmed 2 things, and need to confirm my card and give a utility bill which can be done. I think im gonna send the stuff in. Also, this message only came after getting my first sale, and had no activity on the account, so i dont think ive been linked.

Typical PayPal letter... what was the item?

Send the stuff if you are willing to do so and let us know. Good luck.

No way out really, id just refund the purchase and move on. As soon as they ask for Entropay statements, you know you are foobarred.

No, they didnt ask for an entropay statement, just a Credit Card statement. They didnt specify or say anything about entropay.

some one asked you twice what you sold you gave no answer hmmm looks like something you shouldnt have listed high risk item, i would always start first 10 items as low as 1 pound before moving on slowly to bigger items

I sense sarcasm, yes i did post a high risk item AFTER posting £1 items. Dont assume that i went straight onto high risk items.

paypal never randomly limits axcounts. there is always a reason. although most times its a bs reason.

Yes they do.

They are asking for your Credit Card statement, which they know is an Entropay VCC you have on file.

As reported multiple times, its doomed, no amount of chatting on the forum will change that. If you want to try your luck, send them what they request, doubt it will work but always worth a try, and gives you some self experience.

If not, move on to your next account and figure out where you went wrong. Stealth is a learning curve.

They didnt ask for a statement. They asked me to confirm my credit card, so they charged £1 or so, which is standard, as i didnt confirm my card.

Just a typical paypal trick. They have buttons to add these things to limited account, to this day, I dont believe anyone has ever gotten an account reinstated when they do there 'ask' list.

Once limited, always limited is there motto

As of all the advice above, let go and move on, you wont win it back.
