Hi ebayhateluv,
That's very interesting.
How frequently are they requesting a fax of the merchant acct monthly statement?

I have a question. When lifting the $500 min. from your account can you use the debit card from the new bank account tha you created? The bank account though is in my name as well as the card and the paypal account is under my friends name. I know the name part isn't shown but is that also the case with the debit card?

You can't use that card because in order to verify a credit card the name/address has to match the paypal name/address. Just get a simon gift account or something similar.

ohhh ok, i thought it was the same idea as the bank account, thanks!

No it is different than bank account. You are very welcome :)

Philly one more question for you, can i buy these cards online and get the card number instantly or do i have wait for them to email me the card?

You have to wait for the email. But for me it has only been a couple hours until the send it. But I have heard a day from others. I have never had to wait very long though.

Lifting 500 limit
 

Philly, I thought PP looks at address and checks the card numbers only..at least that is what I learned here, info others posted. Everybody says PayPal does not verify the name on the CC but address needs to match.
I have too problems lifting my 500 limit as I gave them the new debit card number that has same address and is even from the same bank as the original one, but the name on the card is different. I don't know what else to try, as giving them #SS is not an option for me.

I thought I read in the stealth book to send the gift account to the information on your paypal account so everything matches up perfectly, name and address. I just go the safe route and do that and it works every time with paypal and ebay.

paypal suck they want $700 from me
 

ebay cancel my account last week I was selling fine and authetic items
all of the sudden they cancel my auctions and suspend my account now I have to paid them $250 in fees and now all the buyers want $$ back they open disputes on paypal I'd start shipping items but now my paypal account is minus $450.00.This is hell for me since I get deploeyed 2 months ago I;m so frustated.

Yeah paypal & ebay only check acct numbers against the zip code on debit/credit cards as far as I remember. I've been using giftcards for a long time now. As a rule I will not ship any items until the money is in my bank accounts. I'll print the shipping labels the day the payment comes in but its not going in the mail until I've got the money cleared in the bank. Don't trust the cleared note in paypal either. I use to watch that and then ship until I had a few hundred reversed. Always wait till it clears your bank. Its not your money until this happens remember that and you'll be better off.

I was actually going to just start doing that guru...It is a very good idea!

Also if you have an issue like Iwannasell4ever as long as your SS# is not on that account I wouldn't worry about the negative balance. Your account is now useless anyways as it can never be used with another eBay account and Paypal processed the payments so that legally makes it Paypals problem.

How do we find out whether or not our paypal account has been suspended to some limit? My ebay account was suspended and the paypal account that was linked to the suspended account still works I think (doesn't give me any notice of suspension or anything when I log in and no emails of suspension).

You will know when you login to your account if it is limited.

I've read every single post in this thread. Thanks for everyone's info. So far I've been doing good as a "new" ebay/pp user after being suspended/banned around August. I've made 25 or 50$ per item throughout sept-oct for selling small things like textbooks etc. Recently I made a sale of about 200$ and am expecting someone to pay another 260$ for another sale. Since lately i've been waiting my account to verify, the only way to get my money out of paypal was to send it to my friend's account and then he just gave me the cash the next day. Now i'm verified and can transfer money myself but what i want to know is...

1) If i ever get limited, will I still be able to send the money to a friend's pp account?
2) If so, is there chance of him being limited too by having too much money going in and out of his account even though its not from ebay purchases but transfers as "goods/services" from other PP users (me)?

Thanks a lot in advance.

1. When your limited you CAN NOT send nor request money. Only recieve them, and you can't auction items on ebay while your account is limited on PP.

2. Dont know. But im sure PP watches any money transactions that coming in/out from your account.

I was wandering if im selling 3 items a week... would that trigger anything? I'll probabley be making $300-$600 (total) after selling the three items.

And soon as the customer pays, i'm going to input the tracking # (even if its not processed it) and then ship out the item the very next day (priority mail 2-3 days arrivial). Then go back to selling another three items two days later. Or once customers are close to receiving the product.

Would that work? Cause PP limited my account 3-4 times and they always ask me for a tracking number. I'm going to try to beat them to the punch this time.

Paypal may see this as money laundering. Above a certain amount (not sure) and if no purchase, they will limit both accounts.

Happened to me.

yep exactlty
