PayPal gone down...
 

Hi all,

A PayPal went down a few days ago so lost the eBay aswell.. was a stealth account with random details and location.

There is about £100 in the limited account so not too bad and have many other accounts up and running , so did well to minimize risk.

Question is, I have £19.00 worth of fees to be paid through eBay, if it is a stealth account should I pay them or shall I not bother?

If I don't pay them can PP start giving a debt collection agency the bank details attached to the account and would I be 'tracked' through that?

Thanks

Stealth or not, do you really want hassle over £19?

I'm surprised you've even put a post on here about potentially "bumping" eBay out of such a piddly amount. Not very professional, is it?

You'd be better focussing your attention on how you lost the account rather than thinking about a £19 bill for fees.

Pay pal does send out debt collectors - of course they will arrive at the stealth address instead - once they find out you don't live there they then prob won't even release your £100 quid money so in this case i would pay. For such a small owed amount not even worth it - perhaps a bigger amount yes.

Not directly aiming this post at the £19 but for future cases if it was to be more and an account does down is it always advisable to be paying fees?

Also, I know how the account went down, they didn't accept ID. So losing 1 out of lots isn't a big deal but only a slight shame.

Pay the fees (unless you are skint).

Out of interest, were you waiting for docs to be reviewed when you got axed?

What was the email that got sent?

It just said that the 'PayPal Appeal Denied'...

Took 2 weeks for them to review them then just got dumped on.
OK will pay fees,and no I'm not skint! :nono:

Don't let it disheartened you, you're a soldier davey!

Pay the fees on this one and put in the past.

Thanks for that.

I know you can afford £19. I meant this would be the only scenario where I wouldnt pay the fees (if I didn't have the money).

Yes that's cool! Thanks for the advice, just wasn't sure what to do.

Ebayorbust - Ok to pm you with a question?

However you raised a good point davey when you said:

"bank details attached to the account and would I be 'tracked' through that?"

I think they could if you owed them alot of money, a call to the bank would get them details perhaps? or maybe the bank would refuse to give details depends i guess....

The bank would not provide details like that as it would be a breach of Data Protection.

They would only do so if it were a possible fraud case and the police :mod: were involved but not likely to happen for £19 though

I think this whole thing is simpler if I just pay the £19 and wait the £100 out. Funnily enough it will become available on my birthday lol. Things happen for a reason, always!

Have a good Birthday when it comes around then

Will have a better time whilst making LOTS more money on other accounts in the mean time.
