Is eBay / Paypal stealth right for me?
I have been with eBay & Paypal for over 10 years and an immaculate record (5300+ feedback 100% positive). I sell brand name dietary supplements and skin care products to international buyers. Most of my transaction is under $50 after shipping. Everything is fine until I bought $10,000 worth of Apple products locally at a discount and then listed them on eBay (one time deal). I did made sure the seller (private party) has legitimate purchase receipts for everything and those are not stolen property, which I verified later with the retail store.
A week later after I sold and shipped the Apple products, Paypal limited my account (eBay is fine) and requested many documents including original invoices for the items I sold. Unfortunately, my appeal is denied permanently despite I provided everything Paypal asked.
Of course, I didn't research here and decide to have one of my employee use her Paypal account for future transaction. 2 weeks later, her account got limited due to "it is linked with another account"
I currently average about $35,000 in sales from eBay & doesn't really want to deal with the constant hassle of maintaining "stealth" account. Say if I open a brand new Paypal account using my business EIN (which was not given to Paypal previously) for payment received from my existing eBay account, does the eBay / Paypal stealth guide offer the information needed to keep my new PP account active? New phone #, business check account, address & etc I really don't want to give up my existing eBay account since all my active listing shows how quantity of the unit sold.
Any suggestion is appreciated! P.S. If I open this new account after my existing case is settled with Paypal (180 days withdrawal & account closed). Will this still considered a policy violation? Will the new account be less likely to limited due to said reason? |
