Paypal account help
 

I have a paypal account that is in the red due to selling a item for £328 and the buyer claimed saying didn't receive and after a while its limited. I opened another paypal account however after a short time was linked and limited.
My question is obviously my name/address is no good on paypal so how can I open a new account to sell/make money and withdraw the funds? without being linked/limited?

Re: Paypal account help
 

...you want to open another Paypal account to sell/make money, withdraw the funds and run away with another £328 or more?

This is not the kind of help we give.

What's with the smart arse smile?

Not what the forum does enable toerages to cheat.

Welcome to the forums.

Forum doesn't exist to recommend avoiding fees...pay your dues or deal with the buyer.

All the best.

He got scammed by a buyer.

No naffin' mention of fees.

Not working is it...

UK Learner this a relatively new ebay account is it, hence your name on here? Do you know about operating stealth accounts? Read around on here and learn, selling one item as you tried to do that sold for £328 is not advisable, especially if it was in a GB risk category which yours may have been, if it was high risk item plus the value=scammers, much more risk of buyers using scam techniques to get their money back as they did with you.

Since the tightening up of the paypal ID verification process since Christmas, it has not been advisable to create our own accounts because it is so much more difficult to convince ebay/PayPal that we are who we say we are in our stealth accounts, there are accounts for sale in the marketplace on this forum that you can buy and use to get back selling.

I coupled my answer with a pm received - I was reading as well - that's why I urged to pay "dues" and deal with the buyer

Re: Paypal account help
 

Ive been pm,d too several times today also :-)

Re: Paypal account help
 

Maybe certain people didn't understand my message?! As I said the buyer was in Australia - claimed item never arrived therefore I am in the red by £328 which I refuse to pay as I have lost out. I have sold on Ebay for years with no issues and this one has caused me so many problems, since then I find it difficult to open new Paypal accounts. It isn't about fee's - I always withdraw after fee's deducted so not to get in a mess.

Re: Paypal account help
 

Definately an unfortunate position to be in. But you SHOULD resolve that negative balance :-)

Re: Paypal account help
 

If you are getting limited when creating new accounts, you are obviously not changing user accounts and IP address's when creating these new accounts.
As not doing that would cause an automatic link and limitation within minutes.

Re: Paypal account help
 

This is why it is not wise to sell abroad for anything much over £100, because they can turn around and say it has never arrived, and eBay will side with them. You won't be able to open new PayPal accounts until you start using stealth techniques

Re: Paypal account help
 

Use DHL or UPS. Fanastic service, full tracking. I have had a few go to India, Sri Lanka and they put charge backs in or claim non arrival, then all the documentation goes to PayPal and it is reversed. Never lost a case since using proper couriers.

Re: Paypal account help
 

Nice tips there wired, still not worth the risk for more expensive items, been a fair few posts about packages going missing or buyers abroad saying they have gone missing, probably a lot depends of what the items actually are as much as anything!

Re: Paypal account help
 

Actually it is better to use courier services for expensive items. Tracking is better and delivery is faster and much more likely to reach the reciever.

Sending items normal post is more likely to go missing.

If you are going to get charged cutoms. Its going to happen regardless of delivery methods.

The person on the other thread has not lost his parcel. It is stuck in germany customs which is the risk people take when importing from china.

Re: Paypal account help
 

YEs, but those are not using fully tracked courier services.

Last year i probably sent around 100 overseas of quite high value items, five charge backs came out of them, all decided in my favour thanks to all the evidence that came from UPS and DHL.

Never use Royal Mail/Parcelforce.

Re: Paypal account help
 

DHL are IMO the best to use for exporting and importing.

Domestic Parcel Force are pretty decent

Not had many issues with Royal Mail since they changed their overseas tracking methods last year. All works pretty well now. RM Domestic are still the best to use IMO for non tracked small items and will be for a long time.
