New stealth PayPal account DOA in 2days!! What went wrong?
Hello all, I thought I’d ask for your opinion on my failure.
PayPal sent me an email “we noticed a problem with your account”
They want proof of address, ss#, government issued photo ID
They told me they think I’m “sharing an account”.
I’m trying to figure out, what went wrong.
Here’s what I did for the setup:
New user account on PC + CCleaner before every use in addition to switching router for ip address.
I used a PO Box from USPS in business name (looks like a person’s name).
VCC and VBA worked for verification and limit lift after expuse number entered.
eBay phone verification worked (google voice). Now I have a seller account.
The setup was good, I think I screwed up somewhere after, maybe one of these actions?
1) Bought seven small items on eBay in 2 days total $39
2) Funded with green dot MoneyPak $50 (asked for my ss#) I know it’s been said on the forum this is okay, but I list it as a maybe.
3) After I bought item number 4 I noticed that the eBay address did not have my “office” number in the address 2 field. I went to my profile and added it as (number / XXX) it was rejected and suggested that it should read “ofc XXX”. I made the change. I also asked the sellers of the first 3 items to check that the mailing address included my office number.
Did I make too big a stink about the address and that caused PayPal to raise and eye? (Stupid in retrospect)
Or, was it the 7 small items in 2 days?
And finally, could it have been the green dot MoneyPak or something else?
I am starting work on my 2nd stealth account and don’t want to make the same mistake.
Thanks in advance for any wisdom you might be able to share.
