PayPal is not operating in my country, I used fake details to use it. After 3 months of use, PayPal decided to limit my account. I was using it with a residential proxy and a fake address. What's the next move? Should I try to recover my account or get a new one? I can pass the address verification if it's the issue but I have no idea why did they limit.
 
Is there any way to recover my account? I'm selling SEO tools and accounts. I haven't had any disputes. It's a personal account tho.

They didn't ask for any address verification, how can I use it without a proxy?
I am not a expert when it comes to this so I am not the one to heed advice from, was just pointing out that is where the issue likely arose, from the looks of it, that account is toast so I would move on, surely hope you did not leave funds in there as that is never wise to do, even on a legit account; they can limit it and hold funds, at any point, for up to six months if they choose.
 
if paypal not allow in your country i would like to recommend you use SSD Remotely VPS i am also using this method and i think your this paypal has gone forget about it and make new paypal and use my method

I’ve been using mine with a VPS from 24vc (im not affiliated with them you could probably get better options)

my account had been limited for the same reason, I just opened a new one with the same details, different phone number and VPS, its been working for more than a year.
However I have an Us business with ITIN and EIN number. They will require ITIN after 10k/20k i guess.

according to aspkin you need virgin proxies if you want to do use paypal, they recommend 24VC and Ipburguer, they are probably affiliated with them and you could get away with a unused connection from other company, nordVPN seems to offer virgin VPSs for cheaper but i dont know if it works, the guys at aspkin swear it doesnt.

Isn't the vps's ip worst than a proxy?

Error in proxy. If you’re an imposter then you’d be limit you, but there’s a lot more to what can limit you.

I'll take a look at that thank you. If I use a vps it'll have a datacenter ip tho, isn't it more obvious?

I don't think that is the reason, I want to learn the reason but can't reach to paypal support.
 
write to a support ask why it is limited and try if they wont unlimit ur acc if that doesnt work make a new acc

Just be honest and say you don’t know it will come off as good if you’re very polite but not too much. If you just guess the answer and get it wrong they will not get your account back.
 
In my experience, paypal somehow finds out you're selling something that's against their ToS. This has happened to people running legit accounts who had no disputes but were selling greyhat/blackhat stuff. Selling trial accounts is not exactly legit. This could be one reason. If your paypal account is alright I don't think a VPN or a proxy can do any harm. People use VPN away from their home country all the time.
Stealth accounts are short lived anyway. You can keep creating new accounts to keep it rolling.

I should've warned my customers to leave the description blank or write something else. Nearly half of the transactions have a description like "semrush account", "canva pro account", "nirvana from bhw" :)

There, you have your reason already why it got limited.

Anywhere from 1 day to 1 year. Some people who are experts manage to run it even longer. But that is rare. You'll get shut down sooner or later.

Say bye to your money. They do this 180 day shit. But now what they have been doing is saying some bullshit about damages and whatever and just take your money after 180 days happened to me 10x now. I’ve done nothing wrong no chargebacks no bs damages it’s a scam. If you want your money back the only way to do it is basically scam PayPal themselves. But it’s not an easy process and obv can’t explain it
