several blocked paypal accounts. Followed Stealth rules. Unsure how they are linked?!
Hi,
Thank you in advance to anyone reading this that may be able to help me.
I have recently had 4 paypal accounts blocked within the month with this message.
"Your account access has been limited for the following reason(s):
For reasons relating to the safe use of the PayPal Service we need some more information about you and your account to help confirm your identity.
This limitation cannot be appealed against."
However when i click on the link to provide more informaiton, it says "your account is still limited".
basically it seems like paypal are linking all my accounts together. However I have used the ebay Stealth Book rules to set these accounts up so i have no idea what's causing the issue. Also i had an account that i had over a year set up with the stealth method, that only got limited when a problematic customer complained and they then asked for ID and ultimately it got permanently limited. Ever since then i have been trying to set up these new accounts which is now the problem i am currently having where none are ok for longer than a week.
I have read many threads and i think this covers everything you need to know : here is the step by step of my procedure:
I have used a different spelling of my own name. A friends address. I use a completely new user account on my laptop so to avoid problems with cookies etc. I switch my router off and on and check on IP burger before logging into different ebay accounts and save IP address on a spreadsheet so i know which ip address i have logged into each ebay account with. I use Entroypay as the card to add. 3 got limited before i even added a bank account, I thought it may be a problem that i didn't add a bank account straight away so the last one i added a prepaid card (cashplus) which has an account number and sort code as my bank account. As the others were limited before even adding a bank account I am not convinced the prepaid account is the issue. It seems like something is tipping them off that it is me setting these accounts up or that they are stealth accounts. The items i was selling were not high risk items - none branded cosmetic sets. £19 each and the last account i only sold 2 of them before it limited with the above message. I also bought a cheap pay as you go mobile as the mobile number to provide to paypal. So the number is also brand new to this account.
Is therefore something I am doing or not doing which is causing these problems ? As i thought I was being so careful :o(
Also i should add that the ebay accounts linked to these are fine. But i can't list anything as a message comes up saying the paypal address used for payment method is not acceptable.
Thanks
Becky
