Got limited after sending in ID for receiving limits
 

I reached the selling limits on one of my stealth accounts about a week ago. I sent in my documents (ID and bill with stealth details). baring in mind, I've used the same strategy for many other stealth accounts, I received a message a few days later saying that it "didn't come through properly." I didn't quite understand the message, and thought it wasn't clear enough, so I made the ID a bit clearer, and sent it back in. I then received the same message, and understood that they said because I blacked out the driver's license number, that was what they were hinting at me removing the black out. I then took that out, and sent it in, clear as day.

Today I received the message completely unrelated saying "your account is permanently limited, you can not appeal this decision. your appeal has been rejected." i had never sent an appeal in???"

i called up paypal us (uk paypal was closed already), who are completely and utter THICK btw, and after about an hour of trying to spell out my e-mail to them, i finally got out of them that "due to the documents, paypal believe it's a business decision that we part pays." she had a lot of problems understanding my english accent, and she didnh't understand the problem. i've seen others with similiar issues get their accounts back by simply ringing paypal and verifying and resending documents in. so i'm thinking of ringing paypal uk in the morning.

inputs on this, please?

This means that PP acc is officially sinked. Best way is to move on. But if you have time, it won't be hurt to give PP UK a call to try your luck.

I wouldn't waste your time calling them. You will only lose money, time and patience doing so. :smash:

Start over, move on...make a spare or three so you have one to fall back on if it happens again.

give it a try, but unlikely to work

Cheers. I actually saw others with the exact same experience and it has worked, i've also had Paypal Unlimit them in the past through "manipulation tactics" or to be frank down right lies lol. Just depends who you get and communicating well.

another note, is the men are usually much better than the women suprisingly.

That has been my experience as well. But then I'm sure that much of it has more to do with most of the staff at the top of the food chain being male, and most of the call centre people that you get once you phone in being women, so the men are for the most part able to do more than the "lowly" women, who can only parrot what they have been told to in order to discourage you from trying to get to the top,

I have only ever had 1 man immediately answer my call when I phoned in, and when they connect me to someone with more power it has always been a man.

Regarding the driving license number, did you leave the original number on there when you "removed" the blacking out or was it edited?

If the license number did not match the stealth details this is definitely why they were rejected.

Drop me a PM if you need more info on this.

I changed it to show the same details. I got a guy on the phone today saying it was because i'd blacked it out etc. but he sounded angry I made some lie out and he said "well maybe you can email us and we can do this" etc. gonna try again in an hour or so and he told me at the worst it would be 45 days, which is better already than the usual 180 days. So going to see if I can get someone to allow me to send the files in again.

call the uk team

you could get this back

unlikely but possible if you play it right

never surrender

Hi,

The DL number is specific to the name and dob. If you get this wrong, they will know and limit the account.

Listen to ebayorbust he will help you out

What do you have to lose by calling? You MIGHT be lucky - but if you aren't how are you in a worse position than you are now?

Bite the bullet and call them

Good luck with it - and don't swear at them!

:ranger:

Ditto, nothing to lose everything to gain.

Update wanted!!

One of my accounts was also limited in the same way the other day.

I've lost 2 accounts recently.

Documents that 6 months ago were flying through, are now getting the account killed.

My suspicious mind thinks they are verifying DL & Passport numbers now.

i was on the phone to company very recently, that company made a conference call to dvla to confirm some details on my drivers license.

Also, there any about 6-8 things to check on a DL , Not just the dl number.

Anyone ever called secure trust or evolution instead of uploading.

the last two sets i uploaded to pp was all same details , apart from photo addess and dob and they passed so the numbers couldnt of been checked by pp

Check your DL number and compare it to your full name and DOB and you'll get the answer.
