0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now

[Smoothness]

So far this is what I've noticed and learned. When you make your account make PayPal first verify it with vcc avs and bank account. Make sure you use a real phone instead of google voice or voip. Then only after you get op verified then you should make a eBay. If you follow this outline your chances will be higher and you will get less chances of getting 0/00 but of course everything else must be on point too like cookies and ip and addresses etc.
Ssn honestly I think it helps but it's not necessary. But remember those 2 things. Get op verified then you make eBay. I noticed that if I make a business pp and have it fully verified chances of me getting high limit when sign up for eBay is a lot higher. But of course I need to do more testing to be totally sure

How are you creating Business PP accounts now?

Last I tried, it required a SS# to "upgrade".

It usually works like this with GV. Confirmed many times.

This tactic is effective in some cases. I saw "fax your info" and large limit increase 100k/25k at the same time. And if you are doing the right thing - you get those limits.

Sorry, could you elaborate? I'm not sure I understand.

Are you saying that Google Voice results in 25,000 items per month, or that faxing in your documentation does, or....?

[galigusso]

No, its not about Google Voice. GV cuts your limits to 0/0 instantly - that's the fact. But the tactic of getting "in trouble" (as you mentioned with GV) and then getting the limit increase is very effective if you know what you are doing.

You means just use EIN with SSN? How it happens?

To clarify:

You're claiming you have been able to get 0/0 limits, and then get 1000 items per month, in one increase?

Let's say the account is 3k/50. You call to increase your limits. They have some concerns and ask for docs. You say that you will send everything soon, but you need higher limits asap. Your limits are still 3k/50, but account is now on hold. You can't list anything for now. You get increase to 50k/1k in about 15 min after your phone call. You still can't list anything, but the limit is now increased. You fax your docs. They release your account.

Ahh, I see. Thank you for clarifying.

I've only had a request for docs once, and it was for my ID. The rep gave increased my limits 500%, but I needed to send docs for FUTURE increases. My account wasn't on hold or limited. Interesting to hear about different methods eBay uses. Thank you for sharing.

I don't "fax" anything. You can upload the docs via email.

But to answer your question, simply go to a UPS store and fax it there. They do it for 25 cents a page or something.

It's against the forum rules to discuss this topic.

Yes the problem is most likely the fact that the paypal account used only has a card linked, which in most cases isn't even verified. For US accounts If you have $2 on the card you can verify the card with PayPal for an higher chance of higher limits, however if you really want to take it a step higher you'll want to verify not just add the bank account to your PayPal. And please don't forget to verify the email address. I've done this mistake far too much.

I just started a new ebay/paypal account 2 weeks ago
I got a 10/$1000 limit
- Paypal was verified and confirmed
- Phone number was Tracfone but the number shows as no name on white pages search
That did me in I will wait until I can get my name registered properly with Tracphone and try to call in and increase my limits

That's not what did you in, you people over think this shiit way to much...1000/$25000 accounts are simple to make...it's all about the wait if you did everything correctly when making the eBay/PP acct, do not message me I will not hold your hand

Have you ever been able to recover a drowned/gone account?

I just started a new stealth account and accidentally linked the old card to a new PayPal account, then my account got restricted until I verify my ID. Could I just use a new user profile on my laptop and star fresh?

[danky01]

Yesterday I started a new stealth account. At the time I didn't know that using Google Voice was an automatic 0/$0 selling limit. Is there anyway to recover this account or do I have to start from scratch?

Call Ebay customer services. It's a no lose situation for you.
