Paypal Account Limited - Need Legal Advice

hi guys,

I had a separate account where I used to buy stuff from different guys, obviously I didnt want to disclose my name so that was a fake account "unverified", but I never had any issues until today..

Today an asshole scammed me for $150, so I filed a case about "un authorized transaction".. now I logged to account and I say that Paypal limited my account and following message

Your account access has been limited for the following reason(s):
#

16 Aug 2010: We have reason to believe that your account was accessed by a third party. We have limited access to sensitive PayPal account features in case your account has been accessed by an unauthorised third party. We understand that having limited access can be an inconvenience, but protecting your account is our primary concern.

Now I still have like $400 in this account, what can I do ? they want me to verify my bank account / credit card but that was a fake name.. Can I get the money somehow ? OR what paypal will do if I don't verify my account ? since I log with the same IP to my original verified account, what paypal is gonna do with my verified account ? are they going to take any legal action EVEN though with didnt do any fake transaction or anything, all transaction were smooth and legal for more than a year now..

Please advise..

You're fucked.

Well you probably have to wait 6 months and then you should be able to withdraw the monies. Add bank account withdraw the monies and close Baccount

They'll release the funds after 180 days.
You won't be able to get the cash before then. You can fake documents, pay a freelancer to do it. You'll be able to remove the limitation that way.

I've gone this route before. They limited the account because YOU requested an unauthorized transactions. For them to protect your account, they limited access to it. Anytime you do a dispute with Paypal, if your account is unauthorized, they are going to limit it.

Make very certain anything you're doing wasn't illegal. You're choice is to abandon the funds or you can put real financial information (get a another bank account)

Go to a coffee shop if you need another IP

Just FYI, if you're accounts are ever subpeoned, Paypal WILL give out your information WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE.

well thanks for replies..

to be honest I give a shit to $400, I don't care if they take that money, the main thing is I mostly funded this account with my actual verified account. That's all I care, I probably wont login to my actual account from this IP..

No, I wasnt doing anything illegal, mostly paying for ReCaptchas, Hosgator and for Software that I purchase online for instance from here and other places..

cheers

Pay a freelancer or wait 180 days are your only options.

thanks, but I am very good at doing that stuff so no need of freelancer, but I dont want to do anything illegal if they want to get money, let them..

one more thing, one of my friend paid me $200 last night, should he claims DISPUTE atleast we will get $200 back ?..

cheers

You can try that, yeah. Would probably be a good idea. I think you might be able to refund it if you log in to your acc, though.. Try that first.

no actually I tried, there is no link to "Issue Refund", I also tried to "Send Money" but obviously that's blocked.

Welcome to the world of business...Paypal is the biggest joke online (Thats my opinion) I'll never use that greasy/shady company again...they froze both my accounts just because I accidentally added my cc to a new account because I lost the old accounts password and they've taken money out of my bank account without my permission...So they can go F**K them selfs

Theres only 2 types of paypal customers:

1) people who have been screwed by paypal

2) people who will soon be screwed by paypal

if they are asking to provide information like bills etc... Just send them some photoshopped stuff. It works

ok another bad news

now they have limited my original paypal account. I used proxies to pay someone so that I dont have the same IP as my fake account. This account has $1600 in it. I was worried so I called them, first time the line dropped due to low balance in my mobile (assholes kept telling stories about ebay and paypal security), I spoke to one guy and while he was suggesting me something, the line dropped. Then I called them from my home number, they redirected me to 3 people, finally I spoke to one guy, he said let me verify, again hold for 5 minutes, he came back to me saying my account was limited because I used any anonymizer or proxy to login, so please login to your account, follow the step and provide proof of address, I said I dont have scanner neither Fax at home, but I have to make a payment tonight, he said please login with you actual IP to proceed..

so I logged with my actual IP, and provided my telephone landline bill as proof, there is no reply so far.

So I went out for searching WTF is happening, after reading so many forums I am 100% sure they will not lift the LIMIT and scam me for $1600 + $400 in other account, because there are hundreds of cases I have read where they provided ALL INFORMATION and at the end their accounts were closed, even a POWER SELLER with 10 years of history was banned without doing anything wrong and without a reason.

I know I am completely fucked, lost almost $2000 within 24 hours, but I will keep this thread updated in case anyone can find anything, my account is still not closed, but I am expecting it to be closed, if they close my account I have ways to fuck them, I quit c00ki3 stuff1ng because I found it unethical, but it they are taking my money, I will fuck them with my expertise.

Lets hope the account LIMIT ban is lifted or my journey to FUCK PAYPAL begins

There are many assholes selling stolen Paypal accounts, I will create a bot to send money from 1 account to another and then another to another and screw Paypal, as they will have hundreds of cases to look after and fix accounts

till then

interesting thread..

so they limited your real account just because you were funding your fake account?

Hey man,

I am in the same boat as you are. One of my PayPal accounts was limited and I am trying to find someone as we speak to get the funds out. If I find someone, I will let you know. Otherwise, we will probably have to wait out the 180 days. If you find a solution please let me know as well.

Good luck man!

thanks Money Man. Lets see, am still talking to them for lifting limit bn on my actual account.

Paper boy - No, the reason they gave me is "you have been using anonymizer" -

I use Hotspot Sheild software as anonymizer./.

cheers

set up a new virtual bank account and get a new paypal account

search for verify paypal net....

I have only used their service to buy something that would only accept paypal, and I am paypal blocked. So I paid him for what I wanted plus $2 for his fee and he paid the service and I got my password and account to access the sites I wanted to get access to.

Very good service.....!!!

Paypal doesnt seem to track IPs. I switched to ejunkie.com as a middleman after about my 10th limited a/c and hasnt been limited since. despite using the same static ip on all

Referring URLs seem to be a huge factor

They are linked with ebay a/c though so dont use dodgy paypal a/c with a non dodgy ebay

Overall you really should be using e-junkie to prevent limiting. Itll save you a fortune in the long run
