Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

Has anyone had a no appeal, no email limitation on only one account?

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

You do your homework for whatever country you plan to use.

Don't be tricked into thinking an international account will sort everything.

They do not.


:juggle:

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

Once again another goes down with ' Entropay ' attached. It may not be that but just seems odd that a lot that
are going down do have it attached. The address is more likely to be the problem.

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

I've been experiencing these limitations for the past 2 months as well.

I find during the middle of the month PP decide to limit accounts for NO reason.

I've had 9 accounts limited in November + December - All confirmed, verified etc...

I feel like crying every time I see the message.

I have the same message for all of them and it tells me that the limitation cannot be appealed against.

All eBay accounts are in good standing with 100% positive feedback and smooth transactions throughout all of them.

Some eBay accounts are over a year old whilst others are only a couple of days but they all had the same message.

It is SO FRUSTRATING!

It's not so much the money that bothers me, but the time and effort that has gone into building these accounts and the fact that another bank account needs to be replaced.

out of the 9 limited, one of them requested invoices, tracking information, Photo ID the lot!

But it just wasn't worth the effort for such a small account so I just let it go.

This one got limited because I started selling products from a completely different category and it was kind of understandable.


The other 8 however, completely random and I still can't work out what it was!

I'm extremely careful with EVERYTHING!

My IP addresses are all logged, different user accounts and I follow stealth practices to a T.


I've read somewhere that PP can't legally hold money for more than 180 days but some say they don't have to give it back? So i guess I'll have to wait and find out.

I have a TON of money trapped in these accounts but the only way is too keep plugging at it!

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

It's even being said now that they may ask you to provide documents after the 180 days before they'll give you your money. If they don't like the documents you provide then basically say goodbye to your funds. Scary really!

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

Ive been burned 3 times on the 180 day hold. No more. I only ever leave £50 max in there now unless I have a payment to ebay coming up then I will let it get to the bill amount and make a manual paypal payment.

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

I've already said Bye Bye to my funds to be honest.

It IS scary but what can we do?!?!?!?!

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

Burned, how?

Not being able to access your funds after the 180 day period?

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

Nothing when it comes to Paypal. I have a love & hate relationship with them :lol:

I always withdraw slowly, a few days apart but i only withdraw once on that particular day. I've never done more than one withdrawal in one day. I always leave enough in for fees & a few refunds (just incase). I never leave too much in just incase anything does happen & I can't retrieve them after the 180 days are up.

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

You can rule Entropay out of the equation. Majority of accounts are made with this so it's easy to look past it.

Much more in depth than this.

Funds being held for 180 days may not be returned. PayPal MAY be looking at this that the account has had documents accepted, which they accepted, now they have realised they've been letting accounts with f@ke information run potentially unlimited money through these and are worried that as they class themselves as a bank, it could be looked at as money laundering from their POV.

Just a thought as to why they want all the extra ID etc

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

Mine was 13th also, strange thing was there was no dreaded "your account has been limited until we hear from you...." email, I only discovered the limitation when I logged in. I emailed customer service for an explanation, they responded with a generic email saying they "prefer to answer these queries by phone"

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

emaander, were the limits lifted on them already ?

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

There's so many people on here write that they do regular/small withdrawals, all with pretty much the same pattern

So maybe there looking more closely at these acc's cause they are constantly reading the posts on here..

On my old real acc, I used to always withdraw large amounts, 1k / 2k in one go and never had a single issue

I know things have to be discussed, but so much 'intelligence' is available for those 'shiny helmet wearing schmucks' to read on here

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

Nope

I haven't reached the EU receiving limit on any of these accounts, I try to spread them as thinly as possible.

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

without wishing to be shot down -the problem may also be that whilst this purge is obviously happening due to the evidence and numbers, the forumers or new members reporting it may be a mixture of the old christmas purge we always have had (I remember posts for years on that this time of year) and people that would have got limited, randomly or for a reason at any time, same as in the past. Dividing who is who and catagorizing who is in the 'new rules' purge catagory is really hard.

Are we seeing any difference in the notices people are getting? eg. the 13th and the other dates that the big numbers of limitations happened.

would it be a good idea to just count the 3 major dates as the only 'new rules'
sweeps?

I personally think it is a compliance issue, I have worked in this area before myself, it is not about wanting to cull profitable accounts, it is about being SEEN to be removing accounts, they will have all the steps they have taken documented to show to whichever authority, if questioned. There will be criteria though, and they will be clearly defined, not 'it looks perfectly fine but we will pick on it for no reason and random'.

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

Very little differences.

Permanent limitations, no email to the attached address on PayPal, can only check if the account is limited upon logging in, no chance to appeal and a mixture of messages about the user having to confirm their identity etc

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

that's not the case.

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

@Emaandar - ton of money tied up with pp...yikes - what's a ton considered to you?

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

This proves that these limitations are nothing to do with document submission then.

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

Dont be nosy :bounce:

But yea I would like to know as well.

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

I just hit the 1,800 Euro limits.

I uploaded the information they asked for:

D.O.B

Address

Name

Telephone number.


Clicked the Submit button.





It then said these would be checked with credit agencies, Experian etc.


"Unfortunately records show the information you provided was incorrect"

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

That's standard. Enter the info again. When the check fails they will ask for documents to be uploaded.

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

Ah, ok thank you

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

is it definitely nothing to do with the banks/withdrawal? All mine are working fine and I've not withdrawn on any, just use them to buy with. Got them from callidus though who seems to know what hes doing lol

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

I'd be interested to hear from you after you made ur first withdrawals

I just got limited,didn't withdraw for good while, then did a few small withdraws within a few days then got limited...

Re: Paypal Uk limitation
 

I call bullshizer on trying to create a 'normal' pattern on withdrawing. Think REAL WORLD and get out of patterns and stuff.

Hundreds of thousands of people on paypal, real legit people might feel like withdrawing whenever the F they want. They dont worry about 'raising flags' or anything, they just withdraw what they want, when they want.
