Am I toast here??
 

After selling 2 items today on a 3-month old stealth account I went to click 'relist' item and got a nasty suprise - ebay would not allow me to use my paypal email address for this listing. So it appears that my paypal has been limited for the following reason ..... "It's been a little while since you used your account" (well it's not, as I've listed slowly & steadily since account was one month old).

Now PP want 1) Confirm bank account - when I clicked resolve it just goes to the ADD BANK ACCOUNT page. But I don't want to add another bank a/c.

2) Confirm credit card - Paypal will charge my cc with 1.50 EUR and will give a 4 digit code. I don't have enough funds on this cc and I wouldn't be able to see the code anyway as it's a VCC.

3) Proof of address, i.e. utility bill - this one I can manage.

4) Validate your account info - proof of address (again??? Grrrrr)

5) Provide Business information. Well it's not a business account and nor do I want it to be :(

Just to clarify, I've only listed about 10 items altogether in the last 2 months and half these have been household items.

Why has it become limited? Any shall I just bin it? It would take me ages to complete the 5 steps and even then not sure if I would get a result?

Sorry for the long one ..... NG

Just sounds like the runaround they give you, I doubt they will reinstate, but if you have the info they want, send it anyway.

Ive had this before twice, gave them what they wanted, and niether account was reinstated.

I agree with you Wired, I don't whether they will reinstate it as the reason for limiting the account was so random. But I'll give it a go anyway. Thanks to this forum I have learned to have back up accounts but it's just a pi$$er to waste another bank account :tears:

Nothing major

top up the VCC and provide the documents

"It's been a little while since you used your account" ? never seen this message that's so weird. Can you show us a picture?

sounds like a LINK to me.

did you get the same message with PP before on a limited account?

I had this message on an old USA account recently. Shows how important it is to prime sleeper accounts

Not good at attaching picture so I hope this works. It is not a sleeper account.

Re: Am I toast here??
 

They are just giving you the runaround.

I have never known an account reinstated after this limitation.

I'm happy for someone to prove me wrong though.

Too many steps for reinstatement = low chance of success in general

I was going to try and save this one but now decided I'm not going to break into a sweat purely for EB's amusement. Onwards...... Have a nice day everyone!

Lol yeah keep it moving. Just sucks they would limit you for such stupidity. They should DIE

Tough judgement call without knowing exactly what was being sold...

Re: Am I toast here??
 

I was selling handmade craft items. Certainly nothing VERO :noidea:

I changed the photos and put them through exif just to make sure, dispatched promptly and got great feedback.
