Paypal Limited WTF

[Imposter]

So today I got 1 account permanently limited with this message:

Dear XXX


We recently noticed an issue with your account.

What's the problem?

Since this is a new account, we want to make sure your information is
secure. We need some additional information to able to confirm your
identity.

Case ID Number: PP-003-xxx-xxx-xxx



BUT the account is 2 and a half years old, the ebay account is a top rated silver power seller DSR 5.0 5.0 4.9 5.0 1651 feedback at 99.8%


Does anyone know why this might have happened, my other 7 accounts are ok but this was my oldest & best account.

You might want to have a read around, it's happening a lot, seems PayPal have changed some methods and stealth's are being rooted out.

I have been reading but it's a bit concerning seems I have 7 other accounts ranging from 2 1/2 - 1 year old, don't want to be out of business at this crucial time. Worked my arse off on these all top rated and all either 100 - 99.8% feedback

Have you bought that account or have you got the ID from any seller for removing paypal receiving limit?

[Imposter]

I bought the ID from a seller over 2 years ago & made the account myself

[Geegee83]

I lost 3, two of which were over 1 yr old, 100% feedback, no refund, returns etc..

It's pretty bad at the moment, so I would expect the worst, doesn't seem to be an awful lot you can do about it.

Hopefully you won't lose all of your accounts.

Yeah they been hitting older accounts. Reasoning ...errr got me ?
sucks though.. but just keep moving forward.

[Imposter]

Another gone this morning again 2 1/2 year old :-(

Same limitation message?
Was this account created around a similar time as the other?

[Geegee83]

I think they are just working in chronological order maybe?

In theory the older one's have bigger limits, which is a higher risk, ergo.. they are the one's to get first.

Background to this account needed, please.

[Callidus]

Well lets say this, I lost a 2 year old PayPal on the 27th November, same limitation as others....

An obvious question, Has anybody rang paypal to speak to them? Try and keep them on the phone to dig out more information.

Half of them cannot understand what these permanent limitations are for...certain info has been requested by some reps to resolve the issue but as usual it's not happened with everyone.

Same reason, same message. Both these account were created in the same week by myself, both ID's were purchased on this forum & sent to confirm about March 2013 to lift limits.

One of the accounts only had a 200 / £3800 limit the one gone this morning had 1980 / £20,000 which I could never go near even if I tried

I honestly think there is some serious linking going on.

I may be totally wrong as others have asserted.

My guess is that Paypal are using some kind of new software or algorithm to link accounts in some way.

However I bet it is seriously flawed.

The other possibility is that they are scanning docs held over a period of time.

Something does not make sense to me with this option.

There is certainly a pattern of members losing more than one account usually in rapid succession.

That usually suggests linking.

Again, I may be wrong. But I am leaning towards them using some kind of software update that is resulting in these issues.

[QUOTE=donkeykong2012;615289] I honestly think there is some serious linking going on.

I don't know how as my accounts are SOLID, never had a problem with a PP acc. for over 2 years now

[donkeykong2012]

We are trying to make sense of Paypal's rubbish systems.

That in itself is a problem.

I understand.

However there must be a rational explanation for losing more than one account within a short timescale.

Agreed.

Did you have esavers attached or was it current accounts with direct debits?
My guess is they know its a stealth account if no direct debit, then therefafter they check public record to match name /address.
