Activity: 0% Longevity: 82% | | New acc. Lifted and verified. Is there a chance they ask for tracking number?
I have signed up a few new paypal account. They are now lifted and verified.
So now there is no receiving limit of £1,900 per year. I want to know if there is any chance within one or 2 year(s) that they will ask for document again?, if I am selling on ebay only and selling no risk item like old books, second hand books, old CDs....something like that? Is new account that is verified and lifted will be safe for document requested again like before?
Also is there a chance they will ask for tracking number of many transaction in near future like before (as I remember with last account, for some amount of time, they will ask for such information and your documents too)? I don't mean that I will not use "delivery with tacking number". But I just want to know these new system of paypal.
Thank you very much.

Verified status on PayPal gives you credibility with buyers when purchasing high value items over PayPal. However my concern is the newness of your PayPal account depending on what you are selling, and how you are selling your items it's hit and miss I've had the same problems before. People think because you've verified your PayPal account it's home and dry, selling the items you are selling I'd still expect some items to fall into the 21 days hold and tracking number required. PayPal can request documents at any time if they flag your account for a manual review it happens, if they see you've got a minor discrepancy on your PayPal account they will do that if they need to. I'd be careful and take it easy!

Selling low risk items helps but going slow and build cred with pa yp al is much better.
Sadly, you can become limited at ANY time regardless of prior unlimitations - be aware of that and plan accordingly.
All the best.

Its this simple
No matter what you do, whether your stealth or genuine, there is always a chance.
It can happen at any time without warning like death.

One example is if you try to list way too many listings - a sheer rise in number can plant you.

One shot - looks bad. Spread over couple of months is prob safer.

It's a % taken from YOUR earnings and held in paypal's rolling reserve. (Ie they make interest on the money not you).
Say you had earnings of £1000, they might take 10% of that. Meaning, you are out of pocket by £100 AND have the probability they might take more down the line.
Started in late 2009, and they are cranking it up more these days
Post below is from paypal uk. DO read it as it's another thing to contend with from paypal

Activity: 0% Longevity: 96% | | What are reserves and how are they calculated?
Question :
Answer :
A reserve is money we temporarily hold in your account to make sure you can cover potential losses possibly arising from reversals or chargebacks etc. Your reserves are listed next to your balance on your Account Overview page.
There are two types of reserves that can be applied to your account, rolling reserves and minimum reserves. Both are calculated differently.
Rolling reserves: With this type of reserve, we'll hold your reserve on a rolling schedule. This means a percentage of the money you receive each day is held, and then released later. For example, your reserve may be set at 10% and held for a 90-day rolling period. So we'll hold 10% of the payments you receive on the first day until day 91, 10% of your second day's payments until day 92, and so on.
Minimum reserves: A minimum reserve is the minimum amount of money you need to have in reserve. For example, your reserve may be set at £1,000, which means we'll hold a percentage of each day's received funds (on a rolling basis) until you reach that level. Anything over this held £1,000 is accessible at any time.
Note: We may need to adjust your reserve amount from time to time.
Let me just add, they do whatever they want once a 'reserve' hits an account.
Put paypal on your speed-dial

@Tiz, agreed. that's why I put the wording up. They sneak in with a higher amount.
