PayPal is limited, can I still use eBay?
 

Hello guys, PayPal has completely banned my account but my eBay is still in working order, the question is: can I still sell on eBay and accept money to my banned PayPal, accumulate there money and then after 180 days take that all money out?
I don't care if they will suspend my eBay shortly because I doubt that I can use it again anymore, but If I can still sell and receive money on my banned accounts why not to do that?
Will I be able to withdraw all my accumulated money from eBay which is linked to that banned account after 180 days or paypal will not allow me to do that? Thay can't stole my money can't they, so if the money comes even after paypal is banned I still be able to withdraw it after 180 days right?
I need your advice guys.

My story with PayPal is really bad, It all started when I accidently made more than 2 accounts on same name and then with time paypal banned all my pp accounts and all my ebay accounts one by one they simply eliminated me.

...but your pa yp al is banned? Is it still able to receive payments? If so, you will be able to receive payments for another 14-21 days or so and then it's done. If you can wait for ALL your money stuck for 180 days, then go for it.

Still, you should make new accounts a la stealth. All the best.

Hi mate, thank for reply, yes I figured out that I can't accept money anymore so :doh:

I'am thinking about linking my moneybookers account to my old ebay to continue selling, what do you think about this?
The reason for all this is that I have earned some reputation on ebay before paypal banned me, and now start it all over again is such a pain (I need to wait 3 month before I can get rid of listing limits, I need to earn at least 10 feedbacks and so on). The eBay accounts which were linked to banned paypal accounts are still on and working it's just the matter of receiving money from customers now!
Any suggestions?

Another question is: can I open ebay account directly with credit card without paypal? if yes will customer buy from me and how is that working?

Yes you can use MB - if you can coax your buyers to use it. You can't have eb ay without paypal =( In fact this eb ay account could go down sooner or later so be prepaed.

Other question: You CAN open and try but without verified pa yp al, you will get suspended sooner or later - always a matter of time. Sometimes just your first listing will kill your account.

All the best.

hi there,
sometimes it takes a few days to permanently block a pp acc and you can still receive money.
Once blocked if you are on the 1900 limit and you receive more than that after 180 days you can withdraw only up to £1900 the rest is stuck there until you pass verification or wait another year for the adniversay when the limits reset.

I have done this a couple of times before and I found out that I could still receive money through ebay sales although when I went to re-list the auctions ebay wouldn't allow me as I had issues with my pp acc. They politely said "please resolve the issues with pp. Until then you won't be able to list any new item on ebay".
The ebay acc is still registered (it's not a NARU) but I simply cannot sell any more.
