PayPal wants to call your supplier?
 

Does PayPal want to call you supplier? You have to know this on advance. Newer give totally bogus supplier info, if phone number is wrong, they'll bust you.

If you few items or like 1800$, then you'll be asked supplier info etc. ⊗⊗⊗⊗ those and give it to PayPal, it goes thru. But if you sell a lot of some items, not one or two, then you'll get asked supplier info that they can check by calling. If you'r about to sell something like 100 cellphones, it's high possibility that PayPal want's to call you supplier. Think that on advance when you give away your supplier info and do this:


Get some real supplier info. Factory, licence number, adresses etc. You can get those from internet. Like if you sell cellphones, find some chinese, korean etc. factory that makes those phones and get all information from that website.
Then make a bogus name, he's going to be that factory's supplyagent in you country.
Then get call forwarder or prepaid cellphone number, it's to be he's, for example, US number.
Then go and make ⊗⊗⊗⊗ supply document or bill assigned from that company or factory to you. Make it with Office word etc.
Also counteirfeit an bank statement where it shows that you really bought those items.

Then when PayPal asks confirmation that you have those goods, first give them you bogus supply document or bill and/or bank statement. Don't give both. If they ask then give the other too.
When they ask you supplier info, give them that bogus name you earlier invented, and factory he presents, factory address, and that phone number to that guy. Don't tell any certificate numbers or factory licence numbers etc.

When or if they want to call to that guy, answer to phone and be that supplyagent. Give them all information they need to know. If they want to check those, it's not an problem.
They want to know those selling licence numbers, certificates etc., and also they'll be asking about a real you, that does he have an contract with them.

If you intend to be chinese, speak little bad english, so it's very hard and frustrating for them to get all infomation out of you.

Please note that they can't confirm, for example chinese factory licences or selling certificates online, they'll only see it if it's added to factory's website. Just try to find some infomation that you can use as a model, so it's not entirely different from a real certificate, licence etc.

PayPal usually asks:
- Supply agents name
- Factory's name, address, certificate or licence number(that they can't confirm)
- About real you and whether they have contract or not with you

Hopefully this helps to all mass item sellers.

If PayPal called my supplier asking for information about me they would be hung up on immediately.

That is true also, suppliers don't have to give away any infomation.

If I was a supplier and I got a phone call from paypal asking about a customer.... wow. They just like to see documentation. The department that handles this deals with thousands of these cases in a day. They look at the supplier invoice, release your account, and shred the documents, all in about 2 minutes. They don't have time to call anyone. As long as it looks legit with a quick glance, you're fine. Don't make it complicated.

They do sometimes make the call but they don't give out personal info.

They just want to establish that the supplier you have provided is a legitimate one.
