Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

Could you tell me more about this?

Need more info please.

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

My 2 stealth Paypal have the same problem, on the they are limited, it says that it is limited to access and need to confirm ID but go to the resolution page, it isn't asking for any information like confirming your id etc. And i have these 2 stealth for nearly one year safely and have done any thing to it, just suddenly got all limited.

The accounts seller told me that Paypal now ebay and paypal are becoming far better at detecting stealth accounts and documents. They are now working with 40+ companies that deal with customer identification and fraud prevention.

After the new account i bought from him this November is limited as well and he gave me another new stealth but now i have no confidence to use it at least before xmas. And i asked him if this one is limited again what shall i do, then the seller has not replied me since :(((

So is that true, the stealth is not working any more?? i hope that it is just this period time before xmas.

And what shall i be careful from with this new stealth?


Thanks very much in advance

It is on the same day 15th November as the other limited Paypal users :((

Paypal even did not send any email about the limitation or inform about the funds which will be released after 180 days, just simply limited, so my anther question is if i will get the money in paypal back?? :(((

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

same here after i provided them docs i got perpant limitation. i guess they are working on the new method

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

You're making it sound like a mass day limitation on users

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

This has happened to 2 of my ebay/PayPal accounts and you might as well forget it you lost your PayPal.

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

Can't you just stop with your pointless ANNOYING WASTE OF TIME posts?

You haven't GOT A CLUE what's going on.

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

Well, clearly SOMETHING is going on but the 15th just seems to be an incidental date as mine were after this date. Maybe thats the start date when PP started doing whatever it is they're now doing.

One thing is for certain though, a lot of UK people are having accounts limited. You wont get hundreds of people posting them here though because 1) some people will shrug it off and move on 2) not everyone who uses stealth uses this site and 3) some infrequent users of eb or pp may not even know yet.

And if this is happening in the UK you can be certain that it'll happen elsewhere as soon as they can implement it. Stealthing just got a whole lot more difficult.

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

Oh DO share your wisdom on this.

What are you infering with this comment?

Expand on what you think.

I hope you are not infering nothing has happened?

:mad:

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

I am not inferring nothing has happend.

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

Then what do you think seeing you asserted that in the post?

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

Maybe it's a wrong thread for this question, but I'm itching to know.
Guys do you dispatch items or inform the buyers when Eboy/paipal limit your account?

In my case I just turn back to those fallen soldiers. For example, when paipal limited my last ac I had 70+ parcels waiting for dispatch. So I sent them an email asking what should I do with all "their" customers?...I am still waiting for their reply to take action (it's been more than a month)

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

If customers have paid for the items then you need to post them or refund them.

Simple as that

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

Yes, that is the rule. BUT! If paipal limit your account with your money for at least 180 days and giving you a hint that you may never get your money back.
Technically your paipal received the money, but you don't have them. What do you do then?

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

Either refund the buyers or wait the 180 days to get your money.

No other options.

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

You should just refund your customers, when PP is limited you can still do refunds.

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

Well, the funniest thing is I can't refund the buyers. If you experienced recent "ID" ban you will know that they take ALL the rights, even to refund. Before limitation it was a very well established TOP rated account.

In my eyes, it's their customers now. When they were my customers I cared and treated them well. But hey I asked them what should I do with them and they did not even bother to reply. If they treat me like a sh*t, then I can't care less. It's their sinking ship now.

I'm just wondering how many accounts like mine are there. 100? 1000? 10000? If there are more than a 1000 seller accounts left in a state like mine....then OH BOY! 7000 - 10000 customers will not receive Xmas gifts and loose trust in ebay?! Sounds worrying!

P.S. I know that after many opened cases and long waiting they will get their money back.

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

Crazyinside is right

The last limitation I got removed the ability to give refunds. Not sure what PP expect you to do to be honest.

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

Exactly moronic isn't it.

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

I had the same limitation with the ability to refund, not sure why they did not allow others to do the same.

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

Same here.

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

I also received the same limitation on paypal the 2 days ago so i decided t call them immediately to see what the issue was a there was no indication on how to remove the limitation.
The customer adviser mentioned that they require additional information ( id , etc) and she confirmed that they already had my details on file. Unfortuantley she said she was unable to provide further information and i should write an email to paypal asking what to do in order to resolve as the matter is dealt with by their back office staff . I have sent the email and it has been 24 hours and still not reply except for the automated reply message.

I have also recently updated a new card to pp stealth as the previous one expired last month. I have now once again loogein into my pp and its now request for verification and to provide the expose numbers. Is this normal when simply updating new credit card details?
could this be the reason why my paypal has been limited ( i hope) as oppose to what is happening to others on this post?

How long does it takes for these expose number take to appear on entropay statement ?

Any input would be appreciated guys

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

I hate paypal

:mad:

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

same here. just spoke to them on the phone. there is no chance to withdraw or send money. hope we will have this back after 180 days :(

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

I await your post in tears when you have money stuck in it. Short term solution and only to be tried at your OWN risk.

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

Thank you for your "concern". i do understand the risks of it. I just tried and had a go for it and it worked. Like what i said, its probably not the norm, but more of a glitch. I thought we were free to share our own experiences here.

With this in mind, I always withdraw regularly from that account and leave no more than £150 at any one time. I leave there what I can lose.

I am just sharing my experience. with the OPs question and stating my personal experiment. Thats it. Its not an advice. The worse that can happen is I lose that bank account. But at least I can earn a bit more than starting again from 0 feedback on ebay.

To some extent, we have our days numbered on all our ebay and paypal accounts. Sometimes, for no reason, paypal gets limited (just like whats goin on on the 15th of 29th november) or ebay gets suspended even with 100 percent positive feedback. We just try to earn as much as we can on the accounts that we can keep active before they kill us again.

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

Wasn't making a dig at you, your choice but was making it clear for NEW members that this is NOT a good idea and not the normal thing to do. Hope it works out for you. :)

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

no worries :)

:peace:

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

I too got my account limited 2 days ago without a reason, no problems on the account, all funds for valid eBay transactions and no disputes etc. When I rang up customer service I was told that the account didn't show a reason and that they would ask the team behind it to contact me via email to let me know whats required, chances are it was just documents etc.
2 hours later I got an email saying my account would be closed and my funds held and released over a period of up to 180 days, been reviewed every 30 days for release. This really p!ssed me off as I have just over £300 which I didn't get chance to pull.
I again rang customer support, they had a look and couldn't understand why so told me they would email the "back office" to ask why and I would get an email. Well after 24 hours I heard nothing so I rang back and complained. The guy this time looked at the account, contacted the review poeple and asked why my account was closed, nobody could understand why it had been closed so reopened the account and took it back to the review request. Now I need to submit ID documents, supplier invoices and proof of delivery of the goods I've sold. This is not a problem as I can get ID doc's and make invoices and actually have proof of postage cert's from Royal Mail.

Seems odd that PayPal would put my aco**** in review for document request, not actually ask me for documents and then close my acount when I ask what do they need, seems very heavy handed for a new account with no single transaction over £5 and considering my eBay account is in perfect health, DSR is 5.0/5.0, feedback is 100% and eBay just increased me from 10 to 50 then to 150 items in a 45 day period and my account is above standard.

Seems PayPal are just determin to p!ss new customers off which seems silly since its the customers they earn money from, lol.

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

My eBay account was fine too until today :( PayPal account was limited 2 days ago and only a few hours ago today I got hit with a MC011 with a chance to appeal. Not sure appealing will do any good though.

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

my PayPal got limited few days ago, strange i didnt even get an email from paypal about it, i found out when i tried to list an item and then logging into PayPal, this is a account over a year old, 100% feedback, never had any disputes over that time,

at least you should get the money in 180 days,

any suggestions shall i call them , they will probably ask for ID etc which i cant be bothered with now, and just wait out the 180 days ?

Thanks

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

Well not sure whats going on now, just got another email saying my appeal was refused and my account will be closed.
Funny how they asked for documents yet I haven't had chance to upload all documents and once again they have closed my account. Not sure whats going on or why PayPal are closing perfectly healthy accounts or new accounts, seems odd that they would just close my account without asking for documents, then asking for them and then closing again.

My other accounts are all OK and trading fine, no emails, closures or anything.

Ohh well I'll get my money back no problem but looks like its time to open new account, shame really as my eBay account was doing great and ebay were upgrading me as I'd done really well.

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

You've already been told NOT to call. Could escalate the issue

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

One of mine got taken out on the 5th. I am unable to appeal.

Account is over 2 years old and i created it myself.

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

Just sounds crazy! To be honest I would be devastated if after 2 years the account got shut down in this manner.

Seems like new stories of people being shut down are coming out every day now.

Re: PayPal limited but eBay still fine
 

Mine was 18 months old and yes, its more than a little annoying. Particularly as they never once asked for docs or anything before limiting the account without option for appeal. I can only assume that there was enough 'evidence' for them to know that it was stealth without it. Maybe a combination of established stealth techniques and an inadvertent linking, I dont know.
