I promise this is the last thread I create on PayPal haha !
So my personal PayPal got limited in 2018, has my first and middle name linked to it , same address (I Think) , phone number and IP address.

I never verified my ID with them so they don’t have my full legal name but. A bunch of other info.
I now need to open a PayPal business account for a legit Registered business. You think I can get away with this or will they immediately link it to the old banned account?

I have emailed PayPal tonight maybe they lift the ban, because I’ve got NO idea whatsoever why it got banned but they probably won’t as it says it’s permanent.

is it even worth for me to risk opening a PayPal business account just for it to be locked again and also use stripe ,

or opt in for something with higher fees like 2CO and that’s me sorted with PayPal offered by them.

I am putting a lot of thought into what the best option is for a long term high volume business.
 
Use a different address and register the account with an EIN instead of an SSN - you should be good.

Obviously, don't use the same location or IP as the one used to create your now-closed PP account.

I live in Ireland so there is no such thing as SSN’s, as my business is also registered in Ireland I don’t know how I’m not using the same location address?
Also ,should I use a VPN for the IP issue ? Will it not be a bit tough with accessing the account all the time ?
+ same phone number is linked but that can be easily sorted
 
You need to phone them about your original account if you did nothing nefarious or against their ToS.

Good chance they will make it live again for you.

Phoning them on Monday as soon as the lines open, hope they can. I know 100% there were 0 chargebacks / 0 disputes.
If they don’t , I guess it’s either 2CO or risk creating a biz account
