So my PA got suspended just after I created it...

I had a friend from another country offer to use his cell to activate my account. So in order for that country area code to come up I had to put my country as his when registering, and I thought as well as that why the hell not put in a address with an actual city, ZIP code, etc from there so it looked normal. Would be stupid to put I'm from Washington DC, Afghanistan or something right? Then it got to the paypal part after confirming the phone PIN, I put my paypal in which I put my country for that so it was in my currency. Then hit submit, went to next page for defining the product, but after that I was logged out. Logged in and said I'm suspended and to email them. I don't know why but I wanted to register quickly so used a temporary/disposable email address so I can't email them back or even remember the email. I thought it was just for activation.

Just trying for future reference to work out why I was suspended. My IP address not matching that country or my registration email being different from the paypal one?

Also could I be in trouble for putting a fake address? My friend lives in another country so it was the only way to get his mobile number right.

 

Sketchy to use a phone you dont own and its also sketchy that you use a temporary enail. If you are legit then you have nothing to hide.

My idea is that your intentions werent tobe legit. And if you are, then yes you are in trouble.

 

I have said before I have no phone at the moment, so the best thing I could do is ask a friend online. As for the email, when I do get a phone and make my longterm account I want my daily email to be linked to my own phone number, not to my friends because then it can murk things up. There's nothing even wrong with using a disposable email anyway they exist for activating accounts to things you don't plan to be using for long.

I was being legit.

 

If you use someone else's details and not yours, they suspend your account. Instead of making multiple accounts just send them a email and see what they say. There customer service is terrible just so you know :/.

 

They will probably ask you for scans of government photo id to reactivate your account. I wouldn't be too put off though. PA is complete shit.

 

You need to put the correct information down. I suggest you don't make anymore accounts and contact them.

 

Hmm well they obviously didn't know I gave them a fake name.

All they could have feasibly suspended me for is:

My IP being in another country to where I claimed to be/where the cellphone number was based.
My registering email being a temporary one.
My paypal being different to my registering one.

This is pretty much a main reason why I didn't use my real email, I had a feeling something like this would happen.

 

You don't have a landline phone number?

Obviously it'd get mucked up if you didn't use your own information, otherwise everyone would just go on and make a mess.

 

I have a landline, but they can fuck off if they think I'm going to give my parents number to some Chinese assholes. They'll probably sell it to advertisement companies.

 

Don't bother using Playerauctions then if you don't want to confirm even your phone number, they will ask for more verification than just your phone number later on when you order. Also they're Korean not Chinese.

 

I just wanted to buy/sell a couple of things. I am willing to give them a cell number but I don't have one at the moment.
