Paypal Supplier Check Passed
 

So last week one of my stealths got flagged for supplier / invoice check. I sell legitimate high value items (phones) so it was easy to pass just sent everything over with stealth info but real invoices.

However, the ebay account linked to it is now on Managed Payments from today so I have no use for a fully verified paypal other than to buy postage labels on ebay.

Are there any ecommerce / shopify sellers out there that need a business partner ? I have this solid paypal ready to use and not fussed if it gets suspended a few months later for high risk activity as I am now on managed payments so don't need it. I'd rather make some money from it.

I use my Paypals to shift as much business as possible off of eBay so I can avoid their 25%+ fees (after promotion costs) by sending invoices to bigger customers..
Good luck though. I'm in the same boat since discovering I have a fully verified and functional personal Paypal from 2013, with little use for these days. :noidea:

Yeah, i'm more than happy to let ebay have their fees to be honest. I should have 3 fully verified paypals at some point this year.

Makes me sad that they have been through all the additional business checks but will now sit dormant. Just want to make money off them by having them added to a profitable ecommerce shop ... or even someone elses ebay ! while that lasts.

I use one of mine for Facebook sales - ironically I still get people asking if they can buy the item on Ebay (I add 20%) and they still buy it on EB - very strange - but I use Paypal for post and some stock purchases

Handy to have but once passed for MP I wouldn't bother with a new PP account

:ranger:

You can't be running any legitimate business this way. Firstly the problem is bay/PP and then you.

Yes, operating any business in stealth mode is a grey area but atleast i'm not selling windows cd keys

Re: Paypal Supplier Check Passed
 

Yes but for the wrong reasons. The issue is reliability. Running a business necessitates reliability. And you can be guaranteed that partnering with Bay/PP is a wholly unreliable affair.

IDK what you mean by selling windows keys. To me it seems this market died out a long time ago. Barely a reason to justify anything.

The implicit point I am getting at, is that the illegitimacy of Bay/PP attracts those of a similar type of disposition. Bay/PP breeds these sorts "dodgy" of users.
There's no reason to collect peoples' ID. It doesn't make their dumb platform any safer to use. If Bay/PP had a viable model in the first place they wouldn't need to collect peoples' ID. Dumb ass middle man collects FVFs like nobody's business.

I've been in the process of winding down my stupid accounts for years. These policies of MP are 10 years too late. This is the final straw. Don't use Bay/PP for buying or selling - they are a toxic organization.

Can your fully verified PayPal account be used to link to a new eBay Account?
And if so would it have the 21 day hold.
- Definitely interested in buying it if this is possible.
