Temporary Limitation on Paypal Account!!..PLZ HELPPPP!!!!

aslampip · #1 08-12-2012

hi, i have a stealth account for some time now and have been using it regularly just to buy stuff from ebay etc.
However, once a month i usually buy some wholesale stuff to sell overseas.
So this time i received a payment from my contact overseas and then i paid for the stuff i supply. So basically i received $1000 US on my paypal and that same night I paid about $800 US for the stuff i sell and i am now getting it delivered to him.
But the morning after those two transactions paypal has limited me and now they say they need some more information.

They need Photo Id and Proof of Address and Verification by Phone (which i already provided from the tips mentioned in the stealth guide)

1. what i am puzzled about is that they say i have to upgrade my account to a business account but the problem is i don't have a proper business so what info can i provide to them here..(can i just say im an individual business man...but what about the business name and address and phone number etc?..what info should i put for that?)

2. they want me to provide invoices of the merchandise i am selling...for this can i just make up any invoice and be creative with it etc...wud they accept this?

3. They want me to provide proof of delivery..for this can i just put the actual DHL Tracking Number of the stuff i am sending to my buyer overseas?

Please Help me out with this ASAP as i need to get this limitation off of my account.

Thank you in advance

Think about what you have written

It is obvious you are using your Paypal account for business - or - possibly - money laundering.

You take in $1000 and pay out $800 - how does that read to you? "Pay me $1000 dirty money and I'll give you $800 clean money and keep $200 for my trouble"

It certainly doesn't look like a normal private account does it now?

You have no alternative but to give them what they ask for.

You do not need to be a registered business to run a business account. You can be Knobby Knobrot T/a Widgets R Us
