ebay account attached to permanently limited paypal
 

Hi Everyone, does anyone have experience of recycling an ebay seller account attached to a permanently limited paypal?
I am asking because I have a good seller account, 10000 feedback plus 98.9 positive sitting unused due to a kind "parting ways" email from paypal.
Any suggestion will be very welcome as it seems such a shame/waste

You would need other payment source than pp to be safe with account - skrilla or other services in UK.

pp may work for awhile if new one attached but will lead to limitation sooner or later - not recommended

thanks rsot, I thought so. Unfortunately I do not see skrilla working for my needs.
I was hoping more for a way to attach securely another paypal maybe?

No secure way to attach to a new p/p account, it will get flagged sooner or later.

Having said that I did get an extra 10 months or so out of an e/b account by doing this before it and the new p/p got shut down.

Was it a preregistered paypal with some history or did you register it on purpose for the ebay account? Also did you do anything in particular to flag the accounts or did ebay/paypal just catch up with you?

Usually paypal catches up with ebay accounts that have put 'new' paypal accounts on after a permanent limitation.

Sad really.

I know it is very sad Greenbean...It is such a waste of a good ebay account. The worst part is that email from paypal saying we are beginning to part ways...feels like a girlfriend trying to tell you to get lost...but kindly

No it was a new p/p created for the purpose.

I knew it would be flagged eventually but the e/b account was doing well and it was worth the calculated risk as the e/b account generated almost £70k in sales during that period and I had ample time to prepare new accounts and build them up before the inevitable happened.

I should add that this was about two years ago and payment holds etc were not so prevalent as they are now and I guess p/p were maybe a bit more lax in some respects back then.

C'est la guerre!

right I will be the Guinea pig then...paypal now created and attached
Lets see how long it last before they catch up!
