UK eBay & PaypalGeneral discussions about eBay.co.uk Suspensions and Paypal.co.uk limited accounts. This forum is geared towards UK eBay & Paypal sellers.
Paypal placed a limit on my account and requested some identification from me (where are money on it):
- government-issued photo identification (passport or driving license)
- evidence of address (bank statement or utility bill)
This is a stealth account. I can make them a bank statement or utility bill, but I have problems with creating the ID.n you guys have any other ideas how to get one?
Thank you!
The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!
well even a real supplier normally doesnt give info on their customers.
option 1/
give a real supplier details and hope if they call which isnt likely, but can happen that they would give the above response
option 2/
give PS invoice with a disposible address and number on it, so YOU can answer queries.
It depends on product, and whether it is routine product eg non-branded one or risky one.
If you are selling eg uggs at ridiculously low prices - kiss the account goodbye, supplier info or not
- common sense is key - too good to be true/real + litigious vero owner = 180
suspension
the items I sold are not vero items . they all unbrand stuff ,around £5-£25 each, are they still gonna check ?
but I only had my account open for a month . sell around £50-£100 a day.
I have had my stealth ebay and paypal account up and running since november, i started selling in february...just unwanted presents etc from the house but i have only £1000 left on my limits, i tried to lift the limit by an automated telephone call...but the phone call cut off half way through...i still have the security code on my paypal profile that i was to enter but hence they have not been lifted. i emailed paypal who told me they had problems with this automated service and that i could fax ineither a utility bill or bank statement, then someone else from paypal told me just to wait until my limit was up then do it. my problem is how do ii send them these details? can i change the name and address on a utility bill then rescan it and then fax it to them or is there an easier way to do this? as if i want to keep selling after limits are up i will need verification.
i used a virtual visa to open a new paypal account and get verified, i have just checked and i dont think my virtual card is linked with paypal yet as it says add crdeit card and it will charge £1 to my credit card etc etc should i link this virtual visa to paypal to help with any verification? as obvisouly the virtual visa is in my real name ... but stealth paypal account and using my sons bank account with stealth name???
