Which type of account is best to sell GP? Personal, premier or business?

Can someone charge back if they sent the money as a gift?

Yes.. they can dispute a transaction even if it was sent as a gift with a note saying they received the items.

Totally depends on the amounts of money you are planning to move in and out.

Here is my situation..

Last night I noticed a payment of $60 that was sent to me was "held." I then noticed that my account became limited shortly after, and also that an auth I had just bought for 11.99 is still "under review", yet I didn't dispute the auth payment. I have had this account for months and have had no disputes at all even though I have done over 100 transactions with 50 different people. Why would they have limited me all of a sudden?

When I go to learn how to remove my limit, under "Begin a limitation review" it asks me to confirm my bank account and confirm my location. Currently i'm living away from home so I don't have my latest bank statements (they get sent to my home.) All I have is a bank statement with me from September, which makes it invalid because it has to be a bank statement from the past 6 months? Is there something else I can send in, maybe a picture from my online banking or would they still accept a bank statement over 6 months old?

For confirm my location it asks me to provide proof of photo ID and provide proof of address. For the photo ID what can I send them if I don't have my drivers license or passport? For proof of address i'm currently at university and at the time of the limitation I had my home address set. What would I do in this situation, and what would I do to prove my address?

I plan on calling them tomorrow but i'd rather have all of this sent in before I do so. For the record, it is a verified premium account and I am 19.

EDIT:
I just sent in a picture of my online banking in place of the bank statement. It should be proof enough to confirm my bank; it has my name, bank number, address.

If you live in EU, and receive many transactions from outside EU, they will limit your account and ask for proof of ID and proof of address. They are thinking you are money laundering. Same thing happened to me in february when i was selling gold. I sent them scanned picture of my driver's license and picture of my electricity bill, that was enough proof, although it took them 30 days to review it -.-

Call the Paypal if you have finished the steps, it takes much time for them to check your documents normally, plus if you did not finished some, not very important step, they can still unlimit you

I no longer have the limit So basically they told me one of the reasons I got limited was because I had too many personal payments received. I only recently switched from accepting as a service to accepting as payment owed.. I guess i'm forced to switch back. Lesson learned :noworry:

So, I bought a prepaid Visa gift card to verify a Paypal account and I applied it on my account; then, they said I was sent a four digit code that should appear on my banking statement in order to prove that the card is mine. But as most of you may know, for gift cards, there isn't a bank statement, so I am unable to retrieve the code and override my 0.00 sending limit. So my question is - how to solve this problem? If not, can someone share with me a simple method to verify?
Thank you!

I don't have experience, but I'd say Gift Cards have online balance check? So try that

So I got limited for the second time this week, however that's not the problem as I managed to get them to restore my account again. The problem is my remaining disputes in my resolution center. Theres 3 cases there that I don't even want to fight. 2 of the cases are for my server payments (which I intend on paying them.. for some reason paypal decided to hold the money) and the 3rd case is for an auth I bought from oembots.com. How can I just close these disputes?

When your account gets limited your most recent payments are held by Paypal(Just to make sure you did them), call them to avoid problems with the companies and oembots.com site.

Well I'll make this short- the person I was involved trading with shall remain nameless until this is over obviously.

I went to purchase 400M off a trusted trader here for $240. He's traded over a couple of bills has a decent amount of vouches.

So I sent the money from my verified paypal to his via goods with this message "This is a transaction for intangible/virtual items of which I've already received, and I will not chargeback this payment."

So during the trade the seller logs out and on msn says oh I got dced then he says on msn omg my account just got locked etc.

At this point I was like here we go, $240 gone down the drain ffs.
But he offered a re-fund and sent it through and I got the PayPal email and I phoned them up to confirm he had sent it but it says it will take 5-7 days for this to be made or longer if it's an echeque. I asked the guy at PayPal if this re-fund can be cancelled and he said no but what happens if the seller had removed all funds from his paypal balance and his bank account/debit card? The details of it say- Status: Pending until Tuesday, 3 May 2011

Will I get my money? Has anyone ever experienced this before?

I've dealt with this guy once before for a smaller trade and the same happened that time, I went first his account got locked but he came through with the gold off a different account.

I'm in no way accusing this guy of scamming but as you can imagine I'm a bit on edge here.. something seems suspicious at least to me and i just need some help/experience from otheres.

Thats longer then 7 days. Not normal for an E-check. I can't help you right now. But I'm very good with paypal and will get your money back if it doesn't come through on the 3rd. Message me on the third if it doesnt come through and well talk then.

So i recived 3,000 dollars in paypal for 4b, and the person disputed it and now it isn't there anymore ?.... what do i do? Also he did it in 1500 incriments from 2 paypals. One is gone and onr isnt, is there a chance the other will stay?

Probably the account was hacked... so yeah, you will get both payments claimed back :/

Sorry :'(

 

[Hockeyrock46]

Wow.. Do I get in trouble for that? All that can possibly happen is they ask for it back right? Like they cant take any funds from my bank?

No, it was no your fault, but you will probably lose both payments. If you are in negative balance paypal will use any founding source to fix that.

 

[Hockeyrock46]

So say I took 1000 and put it into my bank, and then someone disputes it after it transfers? What would happen? Id have to pay them back? Because im worried the person that bought from me hacked paypal accounts or something...
