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.
