Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

Got some stealth ID made a while back and sent it into
paypal October 16th for them to evaluate or whatever .
This account hadn't passed the receiving limit , was just limited
for suspicious activities .
When I sent in ID for other accounts that had passed the receiving
limit they got processed the next day twice . I have read on
here of people waiting 5 weeks to get ID processed before ,
should I have heard something by now . Very wary of calling them
unless I have to , in the resolution centre it just says " in progress " for
the documentations submitted 2 months ago now .

There is a long back log with documents.
PayPal is doing nothing to speed up or contact people waiting in hope.

Sorry to tell you this.

As GB has already stated there is a huge backlog at the moment.

My oldest still waiting is from early september...

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

Why doesn't eBay give us other online options to accept payments from buyers?

PayPal is getting ridiculous. I hope their new policies backfire on them big time!!!

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

Early September for me as well......

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

In the USA they do. You have a pretty wide selection of payment processors, PayPal is just the most popular

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

Speed it up by continuing to use the account and reaching the limit ;)

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

So long as you have images disabled then that is fine to do

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

Ok I'll wait it out then , when one of you guys who submitted documents early september gets a response from them could you possibly post the date on here so we can have a decent guesstimate of how long these things will take , thanx :)

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

I sent docs in August on an account nowhere near the limit and they got reviewed this week.

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

Mine got lifted in the early hours.

100 days approx.

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

also does it matter if you block out the 9 digit ID number?

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

You cannot block out anything on ID documents..

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

so just make up a made up id number?

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

I feel for you guys waiting months on end to lift your receiving limit. I have now lifted 5 different accounts in the past two months, and all accounts had their limits lifted within 24 hours of sending them in. All I do is send them in, then ring in and play dumb saying 'I sent in documents but was just wondering if I did everything correctly..can you help me?'

Within minutes they lift the limit for me, after asking standard questions such as name, email address etc.

If the docs are not going to be accepted they won't even if you wait instead of calling in. Much faster this way.

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

For me, I avoid it by just not sending docs in fresh accounts, but just using them as usual, but without docs. Once they really want your docs, they check them in like 1-2 days, but when you just send them - can be like 2 months.

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

I sent my docs in October and they just kept asking for for docs, kept sending them everything they asked for, nothing wrong with any of the information I sent but it took them ages to look at any of it. Eventually I got with a 6 month hold, sucks balls!

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

I know from experience, Paypal often to this if your account activity is too high risk or the quality of documents isn't up to scratch.

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

4 weeks for all mine going through - not sure why so many months for others.

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

My opinion is defeating them as how they treated us (So this forum is particularly important), or building the 2nd company like alibaba or paypal or skrill or ebay to replace them. Their means to us can not be avoided. This is their temper.

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

Still waiting , 103 days later ...

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

hi guys
i was wondering if anyone can help me, i received a message from eBay asking me for copy of drivers license and utility bill. they said it was discrepancy with my information, how do I do this for an stealth account??
also i started selling in this stealth account after 1 week of creation and items were about $10 to $20 dollars and sold fast.... was wondering what triggered this??

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

How much money is in it ? If not much Just make a number of new accounts

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

hi there,
not much around $100
i did went ahead and made a new account, I'm just curious to try it out and send the documents to see if it will reinstate the account.
i also want to find out what i did wrong,
i think i sold to fast?

maybe i re listed too fast went the first of the month came around?

maybe items were similar to others and i look to much as an experience seller rather than a regular guy starting out on eBay?

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

Iv got no idea why they did this maybe you did sell to fast for a new account maybe some more experienced users will know

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

No items you sold could be considered as "risky"?

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

Don't think so because prices were between $8 and $19, but i could be wrong. I sold same items in 2 previous accounts for even slightly higher prices before and never had an issued at all, i even sold way faster cause at the time i was just learning about stealth.
The only thing i can think of is selling to fast after only 1 week an items are not regular stuff you find laying around your house so the way i listed them eBay provably noticed that i was an experience seller.

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

I've now been waiting 4 months for my docs to be processed , anyone else had to wait this long ?

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

That is a very long time.

Have you been selling on the account?

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

There is definitely an issue because the review time is down around a week at the moment and has been for the last month or so now.

I've seen instances of this before where documents that have been uploaded, disappear off their system. You'll need to call them. You may be required to upload the documents again.

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

What docs do they usually request for a UK ac??

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

Proof of address and photo ID

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

Gah I just logged into an email account I get all my messages forwarded to as a backup and theres an email from paypal sent 3 weeks after I submitted the ID saying theyve recieved it and now just need me to add a bank account and they'll review my situation . That email was recieved 9th November 2016 but although it found its way to my forwarding account it seemingly never arrived at the actual email it was sent to that I check regularly , another case of paypal emails just disappearing for no reason . I've now added a bank account ( something their system wouldnt let me do before I submitted the ID ) , fingers crossed things will happen soon now .

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

Useless to send it upfront. Just use account, and once it is limited due 1800 GBP limit, just:
1) send in docs
2) call in
3) account verified in 5 minutes

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

Its all good now , paypal finally let me withdraw the £1400 theyd been withholding from me for 14 months over the last few days , its all safely in my bank account. In fact this is the first time in years when paypal dont have any of my money , and as I've been using the wonderful Stripe service to take payments since last summer paypal shouldnt be getting anymore of my money in the future ideally . Thank you paypal and goodnight :) .

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

I love a happy ending :)

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

@cadillac, you will have to get creative on the documentation - perhaps pm longstanding members here for guidance or direction

Re: Been waiting 2 months for ID to be processed ...
 

I take it PP remind you when you get close to £1400?
