Ways to avoid Paypal/ebay documents

[noel123ie]

Hi there

I was wondering how to avoid/lessen risk of having to send in the documents to paypal/ebay or will i be asked anyways?

I understand that slowly listing will help all my items are low value ie less than 5 pounds

Thanks
Noel

Paypal usually limits once you pass the $500 limit they have. Keep under that and you'll be fine. Also for me I find adding a confirmed bank account and credit card to the account helps a lot. Other then that, just don't scale your sales too fast and you should be okay.

Do you mean leaving $500 in your account at one time or withdrawing $500 or what? I've never had a problem with being limited so I am very curious.

HI:
Paypal has the "supposed" Limits for withdrawal--and "supposedly" they LIFT them, once verified/confirmed..
--I think what Aspkins saying--is that if u stay under the $500--for withdrawals u will stay under the radar..

[philly387]

Do you mean $500 per withdrawl or $500 a week or month?

[ebayhateluv]

$500 period.. Then u need to get confirmed with a checking acct/and cc..(expanded use)--theres a whole section on this under paypal limitations.
Also--right in paypal--just read their terms and conditions...
Good Luck

So if we are getting over $500 a week in sales, we could be limited?

Likely,yes. Dratted thing about paypal is there is no guarantees.

[Exeneva]

Oh snap. Each of my accounts makes about 1K to 3K per week.

I am surprised about this. You gave me the impression that you were under the guidance of Modee? I would think you have been made aware of paypal alternatives? Not having your paypal verified is only going to bring attention to your dealings and a strong strong chance of being limited.

Addendum: see my post above! It may still happen.

My Paypal accounts are all verified.
