Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

Hi!
Over a year I was creating new paypal and ebay accounts, on the same day I list a item for sale, item get sold for around $495 I got money in paypal account, wait 21 days and withdraw it. I'l do it like 70 times, last time was in June start, always worked well.
Now I am doing the same thing, but immediately when item solds, paypal gets limited without e-mail notification and in paypal it says - we need more information about your recent sales.
I don't understand why is that? Because I was doing the same thing very long time, but this is just now, does they have new limitation system or something now?
All about my last 15 accounts has been limited, with ebay it is all good.

I am always using mobile internet broadbend (modem) that every time give me the new ip adress and before I create an account I clear all the cookies. Every account has different name, adress, phone number etc.
I sell newest iphones all the time.

What I think can be a problem?
Recently before my accounts get limited I log in google chrome with my gmail account so I have all my bookmarks etc things and that account stays in there. I didn't think it is a problem, because when I create new accounts I always clear cache from both browsers and only use Firefox to register accounts. Don't log off from my google chrome account. I don't use chrome at all when I am registering new accounts.
What you think? This can be something?

I don't think it's because it is new account and I receive a lot of cash after about 12 hours, because all the time with about 70 accounts there was no problems and last one was about 3 weeks before.

I hope someone can help me with something, Thank You!

I use same password for all the accounts, is that can be a problem? I think no.

Read the book

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

OP- it's suggested that accounts can be linked by passwords, yes. Moving forward don't take the chance- use something like LastPass to easily be able to have different passwords for all new accounts.

Good luck.

+1.

Your post adds absolutely nothing, it actually detracts from the site. Surely you have something better to be doing.

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

There is no sense in some things that I read, because it says with new accounts you can't receive funds that is higher than about $100 at first sale.
Really?
I am doing this for longer than year with about 70 accounts which 1st sales was in 12 hours after I created it and what I sold was newest iphone for about $495 and never get limited, just if I make some mistake with IP or something which I don't know so much about it in start.
I got these limitations just now in these last 15 days.
Also withdrawing money after 30 minutes when funds was available and all the money was in there, never got limited for doing that, I understand if it would be with some accounts, it would be just a luck, but it was with so many accounts myself plus my friends accounts who did the same thing.

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

Today I try with new account, new windows, new mac, new ip, same thing happened, same limitation.
Can they have new system for robot who places limitations now suddenly?
Because I don't see another possible solution right there.

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

you should know yourself whether youre scamming

newest iphones $495?? haha

youre playing a number game , 70 accounts you wont jackpot all 70 accounts.. u cant fool paypal system they will notice a pattern and limit you. youre playing the 21day, chances are your not even sending those invisible phones. you are playing your luck when buyers dont complain before the 21days. after 21days the actual day money release, you cant instant send payment after 30 minutes, they have soft limit. you cant be doing this forever, they will manually notice a scamming pattern here.

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

The cause is embedded in the wall of text...

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

I understand, there is no problem in browser, ip or anything.
I tryed sell something for $40 and all went well, then i sell something for $450 and again same limitation, I tryed new account, sell something for $395 and again same limitation, now I am trying $295.
But why is that? Never saw this before. If someone want to sell something for about $350? It means they account always will be limited after that sale. It's stupid.

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

Well thats a first.. Being linked by passwords lol...

Its definately more because of the high risk item you are selling on the account.

High values will trigger limitations to.

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

we would never know whether you are using the system to scam or making real money here. you are testing the system. so does pp testing u

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

For example ipad 2 for $200 dollars wouldn't be the high risk item?
Because it isn't the newest.
I think they limited accounts, because I sold newest models.

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

I just bought ebay stealth membership and there is nothing what I didn't know before and no answers on my questions, I was learning by myself all these years. What a waste of money.

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

i dont think it has anything to do with your methods but yes change your passwords get a password generator similar passwords across different accounts is no good.

selling high risk items on the very first day you create the account is discouraged by many of the marketplace sellers here on the forums that sell ebay accounts. It will raise red flags right away especially when they are apple iphones in the electronics category of ebay.

i am surprised you got away with this for awhile but it appears they caught onto it and are now limiting immediately because they found the pattern. its not so much whether its a scam or fraud situation the amount will trigger their algorithm system to react and start a manual probe into your account. whoever probes your account probably tells their paypal supervisor and they eventually put new altered rules into the paypal system

the way i learned about paypal is that security checks drop off when the ebay account ages.....that means within time you can sell more expensive items and nobody will probe you and leave you alone.

well said.

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

I just sold ipad 2 used, mine, everything okey for $60 with new account and got the same limatation.
I don't understand why?
Ok, maybe I understand newest iphone for $490, that limitation, but this is the same limitation, why? It's only 60 dollars.

I have one account aged for about 5 months, maybe I try with it?
Never used, just created, no selling or buying activities.

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

same happen to me

i dont know why this happening
searching for solution if somebody have then share with us

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

How much funds?
Yes, immediateley after purchase I got limited, do you got the same limitation that I have?
When I try it sold ipad 2 for $60 I choose shipping time 1 day and 3 sentences in description and after that purchase paypal was okey, I do it 2 times, but if I try something bigger or write description about waiting time, then my paypal account get limited, I don't know what to do.
Maybe if we write to paypal facebook, twitter, call them etc about this problem, then maybe they will fix it sooner, just need many people who don't like this stuff and will contact them on all platforms. I already did on facebook, didn't get response yet.

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

It is a new stuff, it wasn't before.
I think it is just with european accounts, that is bad, because if it would be with US accounts, there will be much information about it, questions etc.

I wanted to say it is for international accounts, no problems in USA.
So what we do? Do we all write, call paypal? So it's get fixed?
It's not normal.
How much you receive with the 1st sale?

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

call paypal for what!? to tell them good job guys you caught our stealth accounts!!!!!!?????
thats behavior linking, i am styding it now, there is a common factor they caught us with, that what we need to sort.
it is not the
item
price
time
internal ip
.....might be something else i am working on it now.

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

What stealth accounts?
My family made their original accounts and try sell their own stuff and paypal got limited anyways after sale.

Behaviour?
We try about 50 different listings, prices, shipping time, descriptions etc and same limitation.

This happened from June 25th when the new paypal policy update came out, there was nothing about this in update.
My last succesfull sale was on June 24th, next sale was un June 26th and I got limitation, after that all the time.

I tryied so many things, I think this is a paypal problem, what else you can do?

Anyways if you first got resolve this problem, message me or write it here, if I will resolve this first, I will do the same.

I really think we need to contact paypal, facebook, email, phone, etc.

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

And still it isn't just for new accounts.
I got account with 3 sales for about $500 all went well and I made the next sale on that account after June 25th and paypal got limited, so I think it is a bug, it was real account with real info, with some selling activities, aged for some months and got the same limitation.

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

what are they asking from you in the limitation specifically??? id etc???

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

they asking for 5 steps
id
addres
invoice
business infornation
tracking number
also you can accept payments ( not the hard limitaion )

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

Yes, they ask me the same things.
And in limitation details you get? - Why is my account access limited?

Your account access has been limited for the following reason(s):

Jul 23, 2016: We need some more information about some of your recent sales.

Same thing?

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

How much did you receive for that 1st sale?

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

it does not matter the amount, you got 60 and 460 and both ways you have been limited...
this is behaviour link.
are using vmware or different user!?

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

I am using internet broadband, just huawei modem which change ip every time I plug it in.
With 2 differnet accounts I sold item for $60, same item, different description, one got limited, other didn't.
I use same user as always, like all these years, I already try with different user, pc or anything, same thing.

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

Any payment i received it limit after 10 mint
Minimum payment i have received the $45 and the account limit after 15 mints and yes big amount i think bigger limitation
we need the solution asap

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

I think my first 20-30 sales were all under £10, I took no chances and it has worked a dream. If you are worried about cookies tracking you couldn't you just use Incognito mode if you aren't too fussed about ageing each account?

Also i'm curious as to how you manage to withdraw the money from like 70 accounts? Do you have 70 different bank accounts haha?

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

I have EU accounts.
No problems, like you mentioned.

I have received $725 USD on about 24hours old account, no issues at all.

So i suggest you to really check out all your setup,
they are linking your accounts that's why getting instant limitation...

Re: Paypal limited many accounts after 1st sale of ~$500 items, doing it some years
 

This is not true by the way. Paypal does not check passwords for links.
Passwords are stored as salted hashes. So even if two accounts have the same password, the hash for them will be different.

just provide the documents their looking for then...:bird:
