Paypal phoning everytime I make a withdrawel!
 

I am getting really nervous whenever I make a withdrawal from one of my stealth accounts - paypal are phoning soon afterwards. I am avoiding answering the phone as worried they may ask some security questions and I won't know which account they are talking about! Any tips? I am only withdrawing small amounts each time. Just had a phone call now. I bet that account will be limited later! What a pain the xxxx!!

Well you shouldn't avoid the calls if you don't want to get the account limited. If they are calling right after you make a withdraw then don't make withdrawals on multiple accounts at the same time. Plus if you are running multiple accounts then I would think you should have the phones marked so when it rings then you know which account the phone is linked to.

I have it set so that I know which account they call for based on the phone forwarding number.

For example, I have multiple contacts on my phone for account 1, account 2, etc, so if I get a call from 'account 2', I know it's PayPal or something I gave my second number out for, and I just have to pull up the document with all my account 2 info :)

So I need to get a 'forwarding number' option set up because at the moment the call just displays as 'International'. When I do answer it is always Paypal on line. If I get the number forwarded then I will be Ok hopefully and will know which account they are phoning about. Must admit I am getting fed up with these more frequent phone calls. Anyone else having more phone calls?

Let us know what happens when they phone, if it is a person or just needing you to pin in digits or what ever?

do you use c/cleaner? ebay phone me all the time due to me using this to verify

It sounds like you are clearing out something for sure. Cookies are a good thing if used right. But if you are logging in on a blank slate every time its bad. Maybe this is not whats happening, but it sounds like it.

I don't clear cookies everytime I just use different user accounts for each eBay. I am avoiding making withdrawals at the moment just in case I get a phone call again. Everytime I log in I am crossing my fingers!

So are you using more than one ebay account linked to one paypal through different computer user accounts?

If so, do they have the same details?

No I have different paypal accounts for each user and eBay account. Hoping to make another withdrawal later. Will let you know if I get a call.
