Javelin | 04-18-2012 11:32 PM | Paypal Limited - Need Help/Advice Okay, this topic was probably posted here before a long while ago,
searched around the forums for this specific case.
But I need additional info and help in this matter,
so I would appreciate any suggestions or advice....
I have currently an eBay stealth and Paypal account
that I bought here (from a very reputable and respected seller).
It's been 2 months with a few hiccups,
but have been doing pretty good in terms of selling.
Then just a couple days ago,
I received an email from Paypal that my account was limited,
and they needed information in order to verify my identity.
They want the following...

So now that the Paypal is limited.
(Of my 14 something years of using Paypal, this is the first time
I am limited and have something harsh to say about them)
And it has about $700 in it from sales I made on eBay.
I cannot send or make payments with the account,
so what happens to that money? Will I ever see or touch that money?
They will just take it? 180 day hold?
I tried calling up Paypal to see if I can get anyone nice enough
to lift the limitation, but no dice. They really want the information.
And because it is a bought stealth account, I cannot provide any
of the information they requested.
So what do I do? Just move on?
But I need the money in the account,
I for one do not have a regular job,
and rely on sales made from eBay.
Even if it's "just" $700, that is alot,
and I could use it to pay bills/rent, other expenses and stuff.
My eBay account is still in good standing though.
So what can I do?
Any replies would be appreciated.
Thanks. |
