remove address from paypal

they_screwed_me_too · #1 11-17-2011

hi all
i need to remove my address from PP but have a negative balance, i cant remove the address because "This address cannot be removed because it is associated with a credit card in your account. To remove this address, first remove the credit card associated with this address, or update the billing address for the card"

and i cant remove the card as im getting "You cannot remove your credit card while your account has a negative balance. To increase your balance, please add funds"

i cant change the address as im getting "This credit card has been refused by the bank that issued your credit card. For details on why your card was refused, please contact your credit card issuer's Customer Service department. Or, you may want to try adding a different credit card"

the ebay account has been NARU'd and they are trying to take fees from the paypal account (which will happen over my dead body t***s) i need to remove the address as its a friends ol account and its in his address and i dont want him getting any ****. I know they will eventually send a letter to him hence the need to change address.

Any Ideas chaps ?

cheers

I've had 2 EB accts NARU'd and the linked Paypl accts limited (no withdrawals allowed). In both cases I had all my funds released to me in 6 months. And although I had automatic payments set up with EB they couldn't take the money off Paypl as although owned by EB it is a separate business entity. I had my money transferred back to the bank accounts and never paid the Ebay fees. Hope this helps...

Were the fees high?

both accounts are screwed anyway, not limited thouh (yet) so need a hasty retreat. oompa that sounds like a plan :-)

me if i have missed the point,BUT why do you need to remove you address

i know am gonna get slapped i just want to be spoon fed on this one

Because he thinks Paypal wont know and wont send mail to that address

The truth is of course that .............................

but of course they will wont they, even after its changed ?

GTB · #11 11-18-2011

try it!

OP, you're wasting your time trying to "remove" your address. Even if it appears you've done it, the address is on file and they will pursue the unpaid fees at that address somewhere down the line.

you have only a slight head-start - they first go for the last registered address, but if that is a no-go then after that they will go for the next one on their files...if your friends name and the address match up, and there are easy public ways to find that info usually then there is a problem.. if your friends details have ever been searchable eg electoral role, credit agencies etc the clock is ticking.......

with real details and fees, sometimes you should just go for 'you play, you pay' and move on....It is hard to stomach if you have been unfairly kicked off, lost your goods and not been paid for them and then are expected to pay fees, but alot of people pocket the profit but do not want to pay fees, after all 1K means you made alot more than that in sales.....do not know your circumstances but you need to consider that fees are part of business on ebay, and if you are free of them, you can move on without it hanging over you or your friend....some people wait til a knock on the door comes, thats an option too.....

did any ID ever get submitted for this acc?

they_screwed_me_too · #14 11-19-2011

as far as i am aware its a 5 year old account and when he gave it me it was all veryfied etc and no id was needed back then, i really dont have the money to pay the fees at the moment but i just dont want him getting a letter or knock on the door right now

if its a delay you want, then this may work out for you then.........

one other issue, of your friends credit score re a judgement against him.

guys, a really random question, if anyone can answer would be wonderful! :S In your stealth account yeah, can you add funds from your bank into your pp acc? the name in pp is obviously very different from my real bank name... so im not sure i can transfer 10quid or not? to pay some small fees..?
thank you very much.

Not a good idea.

Add a VCC to the paypal and pay the fees using the VCC as the funding source.

On average yes,
on the very last month before the second was suspended they were over £14K. I received a call from PP out of the blue a couple of days before they placed the limitation, asking if everything was ok and am I aware that the volume is quite high and do I need any assistance?!?! Nothing to raise any suspicion with me and then BANG! I'm saying all this in case any of you receives a similar call. Had I known, I'd have used same day withdrawal to my bank...Hindsight is a great thing...

Not all but some, because I was doing regular withdrawals of course. The last withdrawal was cancelled because of the limitation. Had I used the same day option, it would have come through...
