“How to Avoid, Eliminate, & Resolve ANY Limited Paypal Account!”
This next step is very important also. Before you attempt to sell anything, I am sure that you would have the good sense to checkout Paypal’s acceptable items list. Once again, you can go to
http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/use/index_frame-outside to visit this list if you have not already done so.
It is very important that you check this list minimum once per month just to be sure that nothing has changed that will get you banned from Paypal forever.
For example:
Let’s say that you were selling an ebook using Paypal that explained “How to straighten your own hair using store bought chemicals without having a beauty license”. You may have been selling this product for years with absolutely no complaints from your buyers and it may have been 100% acceptable by Paypal, but Paypal hold’s the legal right to change their rules ANY TIME that they would like.
What if one day they decided to ban the selling of any instructional manuals or books that promote the home use of any type of chemicals at home by non licensed professionals because they voted that it could be hazardous, dangerous, and they now wanted nothing to do with anything like it?
This would be a nightmare for you if you weren’t prepared for it! Unfortunately, this actually happens all the time. This is why it is important that you stay
in tune with what products and service are acceptable and what products and services are not acceptable. Think about it. This could very well be a business disaster had this been a real life scenario.
Why?
Because Paypal would have quickly noticed that you are not abiding by their rules and regulations. Therefore, they would have quickly threw up the red flag and immediately “Limited” your account access.
Although it may seem unfair and unethical, rules are rules and they are not meant to be broken especially when using Paypal. What would make this scenario even worse is the fact that even though you would have been a good honest seller, you would have accidentally broken some real Paypal rules.
Unfortunately, your account access would have never been restored and your current funds that were in your account would have been held for the full 180 days.
Not only would you have your money frozen, but you would never be able to accept Paypal unless you know the secrets that I am going to be revealing very shortly.
So once again, let me say just keep on the safe side and be sure to keep your self updated at least monthly with what products and services are acceptable to cover your hide in case things should so happen to change without warning.
What You CAN & CAN’T Sell
Paypal has their list of exactly what you can and can’t sell on their site, that can for the third time be found at
http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/use/index_frame-outside
Unfortunately, in many cases, it is not so cut and dry as to if you can or cannot sell something on Paypal. I have news, after going through my research and my own issues with Paypal, you would be very surprised to see exactly what you can sell and what you can’t sell to say the least.
What to do if you are confused If you are unsure about a product or service being acceptable even after thoroughly reading through Paypal’s lists, then you should definitely take these necessary steps to be 100% sure that you will not have any problems when you start selling.
NOTE: Paypal could let you sell an item as they did me for 2 or more years and then freeze your account out of the nowhere and ban you forever.
If you think that you are about to take your chances on selling something through Paypal, that you are not sure about, that is a very risky and in my opinion stupid move to make.
Here is what you need to do:
Contact Paypal through email and ask them if your product or service is
acceptable. If you have a website that either displays or sells this particular product or service, you should definitely ask Paypal to thoroughly review your website as well as give any relevant information about your site to Paypal.
This would be things that may sound border line “Breaking the rules” to you.
Being that we are now swiftly approaching the year 2010, although many Paypal users are still very unhappy with the entire customer service process, they do have a phone number to call in which you can actually get someone on the phone and get helped.
Now this doesn’t mean that getting your accounts resolved after they are limited is just a cake walk these days. It can be, but you have to know the tricks of the trade as well as have a little bit of good luck.
You need to speak to a live representative. Once your hold time is completed and you finally get to speak with this live representative, you need to be VERY DETAILED when you ask them about your product or service being acceptable.
If they can assure you that it is acceptable, you need to repeat the email process minimum 2 more times so that you have it in writing that your products or services are 100% acceptable to sell. This will hold as proof in case Paypal wants to limit your account access.
Be sure to get an email answer in writing all 3 times.
You then need to repeat the phone process 4 more times so that you speak with a total of 5 representatives and out of these 4 new agents that you speak with, at least 2 of them need to be supervisors. Simply tell the representative that you need to speak with a supervisor that is currently on staff.
They will try to avoid allowing you to speak to their boss, but just be very respectful, professional, and persistent until they put you through. Since supervisors especially at Paypal are usually very busy, you will probably be placed on hold for several minutes until the supervisor is available, but that is perfectly ok. Just hold and handle your business once you get them on the phone.
