Having Trouble with Ebay or Paypal, Ask Me Here & Ill Help

Is there any way to secure seller on paypal. I sold one guy steam keys and after month he open and won dispute. Paypal said that they don't give "virtual seller goods" protection​



Best thing for the future is ask for people to send webcam with there id and take a snap picture for proof you sold to who. I'm not joking, alot of companies now do this to work for them like adult websites.

Yes or ship them a package with the serial key with a tracking number also works perfect
 
So, I'm trying to link my bank account with Paypal. It's a 1stBank account I opened where I live, Colorado. I went to a branch and deposited money to activate the bank account and I tried doing instant verification on paypal's site. I put in my login info and it eventually asks for the secret answer I gave my bank. But, it eventually says that they weren't able to instantly verify my bank account and I have to wait for the 2 small verification deposits. Any tips on how to get this to work? With my banks policies, the 2 deposits aren't going to show up until Tuesday, so 2 more days. Both accounts are in my real name/addresses. Any help?
 
yes. No policy against po boxes, but it will obviously not show up in their public database.

UPS is not a PO Box. You get a real street address with a UPS Box. Liek Tom stated wont show up if they ask any public questions.
 
Ok, have not had time to read here much so I will ask. When is ebay suppose to require all accounts to have a real street address to get a piece of mail with a code on it? ( if they even do this ) or is this going to be for new accounts only?
If they do this, anyone have solutions yet to get around this?
 
Haven't seen such problem so far (with real mail verification), just choose the telephone/SMS option, otherwise - really, you should have a real street address accessible.
 
I like to sell some e-gift cards on ebay but online search tells me it is high risk because buyers can open dispute cases and it could cause my account to be frozen. So I'm thinking to open a stealth ebay account with a VCC linked for that kind of sell. Does it make sense? and where to buy a VCC for that purpose?

Thanks in advance you answers are greatly appreciated!

From the looks of it, when they make managed returns mandatory by end of 2015 you will most likely have to have a live address where you can receive mail. They probably won't do a code check via mail for everyone, but what will most likely happen is that any reports made to eBay where someone snitches on you will result in you having to confirm your address. (Yay for US based sellers, bad if you want to run US stealth accts from outside US) You can set it to auto refund every time someone wants to return, but even then people will try to return packages and chances are eBay will find out about you not having a working address.

The problem with that isn't going to be selling, the problem is going to be how you deal with hoards of scammers and rip off artists. As someone said above, the only way to protect yourself would be to mail the physical gift card. If you deliver electronically, you will pretty much lose every dispute someone opens against you.
 
Hello,

Im trying to sell some cosmetics that I purchased from a bankruptcy sale from a saloon that filed last month. Ebay wont let me list these items??
I have a stealth acct but I am not authorized to sell make-up, there are new sellers that are selling cosmetics so there has to be a way around E Bay does anyone have any advice??

Thanks

eBay is getting more and more strict about ANYONE selling branded products due to concerns about chinese fakes, it's just not you. And cosmetics has a high rate of fakes being sold. The people who are selling branded cosmetics in bulk are mostly licensed wholesalers or have a few thousand feedbacks and have more trust from eBay
 
Hi,
This morning i receive a surprising note from ebay :
MC999 Your eBay account has been suspended

Hello duybaock,
Based on your account information and activity, it looks like user ID botnemknor, which is a restricted account, is associated with your account. This usually indicates that both accounts belong to the same person. Registering new accounts or using other existing accounts to avoid buying and selling restrictions, limits, or other policy consequences is not allowed. At this time, duybaock account is suspended.


I dont even know who is he , i am in VietNam , His account is in USA .
I wonder if my shipping address in USA involves with him.
But ebay never hear me, banned me forever.
Please tell me how can deal with it ?

Thank you for your advice. I agree with everything you said, and that's exactly why I don't want to risk my main paypal and ebay accounts for selling e-cards. However, if you search ebay, you will find tons of e-cards were sold without issues. My strategy is to only sell to buyers with high reputation with small transactions. I will see how it goes, if bad thing happens, the only loss will be the stealth account...

Anyway would you please answer technically can I link a VCC to the stealth account to start the selling process? and any recommendation where to buy a VCC?

I don't think that would be a problem but if you're in the us in the long run it's probably much better to link it to a real bank account.
 
There is ZERO problem for selling digital goods on the net, even on eBay. No matter if those are e-cards, gift cards, tickets, keys for sth, etc. The problem is that:

- When you get a limitation from eB and/or PP for ID card and PoA, you must provide those details from the acc;
- You need to use your "creativity" to create/make good invoices if (or even when) they want them from you;
- If you sells alot, the last limitation should be for a license from an authorized vendor for the goods, in order to be approved vendor.

Most people are being dropped are the very, very zero step - "how to get a VCC?" or "how to get a VBA?" If you want to do such things, that should be 0,1% of the whole job and the most easiest, lol. Start using your brains.

About the returns by the end of 2015 - you have 1 year to test many situations with many diff. Stealth accs. You can do the things by yourself. Selling from Stealth X1, then buying the item from Stealth X2, shipping it, then returning it from X2. What address should works? Can you use a dropshipping address? P.O. Box? Or even US Mail Forwarding Service address? And more... Questions that you must learn how the "system" works in order to be prepared for the "next big" crap from eB. The "big crap" from PP already came - 180 days period to return whatever you want (except some items and in some situations), starting by the mid of Nov.

For digital-related goods - of course there're alot of scammers, but your best thing is to drop those returns (refunds) to < 1-2% at max. So selling 100x, only few returns or so would be nice. There is no such thing when dealing online - always win-win. Always win-lose. Lose from chargebacks, disputes, claims, stolen PP/eB accs, original owner accs but payed through proxy/vpn/etc. or just wants money back. Generally not all buyers in the world are scammers, lol, and/or fraudsters.

People who sells digital things from their own sites - who get always fraud transactions as well, but they do many things to drop that rate < 1% or even 0,1%. So simple to understand, so hard to be implemented.

GL.
 
Hey bro i m having problem doing paypal checkouts with canada credit card. Each time i do checkout i get error Add Bank Account In Canada. I bought vps and still i get the same error. I m using Vip72 socks for this purpose. Can you help me out in anyway? I will really appreciate it
 
So, ultimate,
whats your opinion on shill accounts?
Most of my store is bin/obo but sometimes i post auctions. Im in the USA
Im my auctions I ...

have some friends who are establshed on ebay and sometimes they "bump" an auction for me , and me for them.
By bump i mean bid an item up a little bit for them so they can get a little extra from an auction. No intention on winning , just add a little "excitement" to an auction and sometimes to ensure a break even pont on said item.
How often is this tolerated ?
3 times shill bidding on one acct so far is ok , but Im kinda leaning towards buying some accts just to bump auctions and avoid burning any of our good established accounts in one stupid moment.
Any Insight ?
 
Just Curious: for the last 3 months my items have been remove from 3 different accounts ( all acct more than 3 years old ). Removal was for Encouraging Illegal Activity (smoked license plate covers wow, big time hoodlum here). My concern is not eBay that's on my case, but the competition, he/she is still selling the same exact item with no problems. My question, is the competition RATTING me out to eBay if so what can I do about it. There are enough buyers for everybody !
Thanks, Tony G

Thanks. Anyone have a solution for this because if this does in fact happen the end of making accounts or running them if they are not real will be done.
Some might not see this as an issue but right now I think most all of us will be out of business if this happens yet it is not being discussed. Any opinions, options to discuss other then having a PO Box for every account you run?
