My paypal got 180 days hold

Why I can't? They told me by themselves to do this.
"
To continue using our service, please open a new PayPal account. You'll need to use a different email address."
They told me that too. My account was limited because of 'high risk business model', whatever that meant. I called them and asked what's going on. The guy told me exactly the same thing "Yeah, just open a new account and you'll be good".

I opened it, receive 2-3 payments and it got limited again. This time reason was "you already had an account before, we allow 1 account for 1 person".

I told him the guy from PayPal support literally told me to open a new account and I'll be good, to which he said that is not possible and how he's going to 'investigate further' what happened.

Awful company.. avoid it if you can. And as others suggested, get a stealth.
 
Well I'm in the almost the same situation as you,and after 5 years of using my account I bought a stealth account ,so far its working fine :) if you ask me, forget about it, write all of the login info, and wait for 180 days,and in the meantime ,make some money :)
 
That fuck Musk is wasting everyone's money building his rockets and sending people to Mars. Probably all funded by frozen accounts of people who don't know where there next rent money is coming from. I'd love five minutes in a room with him armed with a baseball bat.
 
But with a stealth account, I'm never safe. Only if I wasn't under 18 when I created the Paypal account everything could be fine and solved in a few days.
 
By the way, I'm curious. Will eBay monthly fees apply to me or not?
 
Hey OP, how did you work things out? If the fact that you registered the account before you was 18 was the only PayPal concern, then you should be able to open a new account now with your real info. But if the account limited because of risky business model like selling digital goods, the only option is going stealth.
 
Guys did you get your money at least after 180 days on your bank account?
 
50/50. If acc is in your name, than you can get $ sooner. If acc stealth, you have to have photo ID + utility bill ( they can ask you), and call them. Very bad if for e.g. acc is registered in old lady, and you are calling them with young boy voice.

Thats weird according to their own help center you"re allowed to have multiple accounts.
 
The same shit happened to me. I made another PayPal account using vps, diff number and bank account.
 
Yes you can. You also should think how you will get $$$ from PP to your bank account\pocket
New bank account is not so easy for me, can I enter credit card informations and use PayPal with cc?
