You know PayPal for sure knows people are using bs accounts . They love criminals like us. We remind them of themselves !

[stugots]

ok new info.



tesed this for a month and it completed last night.


had a pp account limited, you know its bad when they send the limit email like 19 times (whos pool did I piss in huh?) so I made another pp, got killed in 5 mins, ANOTHER 10 mins.

started a 3rd, allowed payments from ebay to go in as well as sending invoices from items sold before BUT never added a cc at all, let all the payments build up, 21 day holds were over, added a card, sent the money BOOM limited.

this tells me paypal does not look at you as a threat until you have means to take or send the money (like by adding a cc)

@stugots, these pp's ALL for the same eb account? I had discussed on another thread =( could have saved that testing but, for what it's worth, yes sometimes you have to see it to believe it. I have had an eb account that I was supporting once upon a time that had 10 pp's all go down in one form or another. NOW there are folx who say if you create a new pp via stealth methods (relatively speaking), it may last longer...

[stugots]

I missed where you said that but im VERY interested (even more so at the moment) which thread? or cant you paste it here?

[stugots]

update.


ebay is doing almost 100% manual reviews.

I made an ebay logo and when a customer clicked on it, went to my site LOL

10 stealths selling different stuff had this on all listings they caught EVERYONE.

and sent me an mail saying it

[FandangoKango]

Why would you make a logo going to your site. Of course you will be caught!

[cortex]

Thank you very much for the invaluable info - maximum kudos

[oompaloompa]

that is interesting info on the 21 day hold.
true about politeness and calling ebay/paypal, i have got stuff achieved with that....

[stugots]

the logo was well good way to get people to my site but also test if it was a manual review everytime, got my answer

[rsot]

All good work stugots - testing is always good.

i list some like i mentiond and they have not been taken down.

Another way is to have a CLICK ME massive saving/20% discount banner that links to your about me page, where you can have two links to your faviorate websites ( your own ), From what i see it works just as good if not better and its allowed.

Keep up the good work.

1. what if an eb account has a weblink in the about-me page and gets NARU'd..then you make another/have another eb account with the same weblink? will it get "linked"?

2. can you have an eb username such as: buycheapstuff_co_uk ?

[GreenBean]

@cortex

On a manual review, that could be picked up.

That type of user name is OK especially if you make a business ebay/paypal account & have relevant paperwork.

Way round it could depend on how that name on the weblink has been made. NB, I a not saying teh ebay name

use a forwarder, so you have a different web address that leads to it a bit like this site uses, dobut it would get picked up.

Not quite sure what your asking

[cortex]

TizWoz: basically can an eb4y username be a clue to a website owned by the eb4y seller.

i.e. my eb4y user ID could be amazon_com or it could be cheapcrap_com or chineseipod_org so when buyers see your username they think "oh that looks like a website...let me type it into google n see what else they sell"

Get my drift?

[Stigger]

i see what you mean now, yes people do that but i would not use one that is same as a website you have had connected to another user account or pp that when down, if that makes sense i would say that too finer line.

for marketing then yes you could do that if the website is clean to eby pp, you could also add it to feedback comments, if you have shop add it to your header with keyword as all them locations appear in google.

Just remember if you have a website doing any sort of trade and the eby account goes down it could effect you website trade, as the eby search results could appear above of just below you in google.

So if someone search for you either by address or product in goggle then the links for your baned eby will appear in goggle too which can make you look bad even though you are not.

Does it really work that way? How long should I print from PP in order to get funds sooner, or will it happen just after a few times?
(I always print from Ebay and never try PP)

its not the posting via pp lables, it proof of delivery via online tracking, just add the tracking to paypal as soon as you can.

if you sell something and its been delivered, then 3 working days later you can email pp to get the money released if it is not done.

also if feedback is left.
