Trying to keep my paypal account on the down low.

[invader_adam]

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to keep my pay-pal account from drawing too much attention.
The way I see it is the more money I spend overseas on sites like tradetang, beltal, dhgate the more attention I draw to myself..

Is it better to pay when making overseas orders to pay with a credit card to avoid this?(not with pay-pal)
Or would it not necessary.

Also are there certain amounts that I should stay under when I buy??
I normally fork out about $450.00 at a time..

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

just have a non linked buying paypal, and ask for items in message box to be generic bland, if you still get probs, why not just pay direct to a paypal email address instead

$450 is ok

dont see what your probs are, ive never had had issues...dh gate etc sell all sorts of things, they dont have to be risky

Dont use a paypal attached to an ebay account if you can avoid it.
$450 is a reasonable amount. Is the paypal account premier or business?
If so, paypal will accept the pattern. (NB, not saying you'll go without a limitation but business dealings are OK)

Never use a Paypal account on ANY of these sites. Your Sellers account on Ebay is DONE if they Know you are sourcing from these sites, I Have seen this Many times Myself.

You will get a MUCH More Secure transaction using your Credit Card---that is a Fact.

BEWARE---DHGate now has a NEW DEAL with PAYPAL in that ALL Credit/Debit Card transactions all get processed Throught Paypal, so now Paypal will be able to link accounts in MORE Ways. This is why the introduced their New E-Wallet, use this instead, you have different funding Options.

Funny how an Ebay sellers account is DOOMED if the sellers Paypal account purchases from one of these sites, And Yet Paypal is Bending over backwards to Get into bed with These SAME Sites---

I recently made 9 purchases from dhgate with a non-linked paypal and everyone is put under investigation. Dhgate has a 2 creditcard limit, both my cards were closed before I new about the rule. So now I'm on Tradetang with a creditcard much better and the inventory even more better.
