Got my first 0/0 limits on new account
 

Ok, I have 35 stealth accounts....31 of which I have made myself.

Today I made number 32 and when I was done, I tried to list and found out my limits were 0/0.

So, figuring I had nothing to lose, I called ebay.....of course the rep couldn't findm e in the data bank, but I kept joking with him (a USA rep) and finally he said, "well, the best I can do for you is start you off at 10/1K".....

I was thrilled, since limits usually get raised as long as you nurture the account.......

I want to mention that this is the first time I've taken a short cut and I did not add a bank account to the paypal account yet.....is this maybe what made me get the those 0/0 limits?

It's always good to add a Bank and won't hurt the account but I don't think that is the sole factor in 0/0 limits

I usually start most of my accounts I make with no bank account and 7 out of 10 accounts get limits and 3 get 0/0

I think there are multiple factors

So, does everybody do what I did, and call in? They look for you, don't find you , but then give you 10/K? Is that the standard thing that happens?

Ive used the excuse that I paid a company to remove my info from public record databases

good job OP

I did this once and the lady was like well ...unfortunately since we can't verify your identity we can't do business, sorry. Urgh...

I'm sure it was just a bad rep as we all get from time to time. I'll be trying this method and a few other after this holiday season ends. Right now creating accounts is like purposely diving into a lake filled with sharks. It can be done obviously, but after this season ends it should be alot more relaxed, security wise.

Nice idea - you also seemed to have a good understanding agent

Re: Got my first 0/0 limits on new account
 

It shouldn't happen every time you make an account, so it's good to make a group of accounts , I'll make 10 accounts and 3 of them will get0/0 limits

I make all my accounts pretty much for nothing so , I don't call in I just make another account

I called in once, and they couldn't find any public data so they started me with 25/1200

Re: Got my first 0/0 limits on new account
 

Ok...thanks for the input....It was my first time getting this 0/0 thing, so I guess I'll just call in every time i get one and roll the dice........I like the line about paying a third party to remove info.......

Re: Got my first 0/0 limits on new account
 

I just listed my first iem and got 0/0 limits, called in and the rep said he couldn't locate me. It ended awful by him asking me to email photo id and billing statements.
What can I do now? should I call in again or should i Pshop the documents?

Re: Got my first 0/0 limits on new account
 

Most of the time you will need to provide documents but sometimes they end up giving you limits

It's a new account , I think it is just a lot easier and you won't waste so much time to just scrape the account and make a new one

Just make a group at a time because it seems to,be a random thing , so sometimes you can provide all the documents and still not be reinstated so you waste a lot of time producing everything they asked for, waiting on hold, and than sometimes days to a week to review and you find out the account is still closed after all that time

In all that time you could of made 30 other accounts

Re: Got my first 0/0 limits on new account
 

You're going to have to submit the documents in order to fix your limits.

Re: Got my first 0/0 limits on new account
 

Is it a good idea to PHtoShop ids/docs? actually I feel bad about losing this account as I paid for vba,vcc to verify the paypal. i think it was the damn googlevoice that got me n the very end.

Re: Got my first 0/0 limits on new account
 

Nice work and thanks for sharing your success.

Re: Got my first 0/0 limits on new account
 

I'm still not convinced it's just google voice or VOIP, I think it's many factors, I make accounts all different ways and the results are always the same , I'll always make accounts in groups because it's just a part of it that you will get 0/0 limits on some accounts

Look into Entropay for VCC, that way you won't need to Pay for it and lose it on a 0/0 account, I also create the accounts with just adding a Entropay VCC to PayPal and I'll wait to add a bank or VBA till later when i know the account is working, and I won't do the 1.95 test charge until I know the selling account has limits

I still use a free App Phone to make accounts also

So your able to make accounts for Free, and than add parts Later On

Re: Got my first 0/0 limits on new account
 

I do the same thing, create all accounts only with VCC, no VBA or Bank, and haven't had any issues. Saves time and money on wasted accounts if you get the 0/0
