Paypal Secret PART 2. HOW TO AVOID GETTING LIMITED?

 

In order to learn to avoid PayPal limitations, you need to first understand what causes it. The list of things that can cause a PayPal account to get limited is an extremely long one, but a simple rule of thumb applies:

Any out-of-ordinary or suspicious account activity may get your account limited.

It’s important to understand this concept and keep it in mind at all times. Your job here is to make everything you do look as legit and ordinary as possible, and if you do just that then you’re on the safe site. The good news here is that almost everything PayPal does is automated – and it’s far easier to trick a computer than it is to trick a human being :-)

But before we dive into specific techniques and things to do, let’s see a few examples of reasons and account can get limited:

•  Suspicious change in activity – for example, having sold only $7 products before, you suddenly make a sale for $600.

•  Quick withdrawal to zero – for instance, you make 20 sales worth $30 each during one day and decide to withdraw the whole $600 immediately, on the same day.

•  Being linked to a suspicious account or using the same IP address / computer to log in to two or more different accounts.

Those are simply the most common reasons – as I said before, the reasons vary and you can get limited for almost anything that’s even a little bit out of the ordinary. 

But enough of the fluff – let’s see what YOU can do to avoid this happening!

Precaution #1 – Never Use Untrusted Virtual Credit Cards

This is the first precaution for a reason. If you have used a shady VCC (virtual credit card) to verify your PayPal account then chances are that your account will get limited sooner or later – i.e. as soon as PayPal finds out that the credit card is not real. Therefore, I suggest you to NEVER use virtual credit cards to verify your accounts – instead, you can use prepaid credit cards that can be retreived from many shops (if you’re in US) and even ordered online from reputable sitessuch as EntroPay and EcoCard (for non-US residents).

Alternatively, you are always free to use proxies to open as many accounts as you need and simply throw them away as soon as the withdrawal limits are reached.

Precaution #2 – Keep Your PayPal Accounts Separate 

This is another VERY important precaution because failing to do this properly may result in ALL  of your PayPal accounts (given that you have more than one) getting limited and the funds frozen.

I will go quite a bit into detail when talking about this step, both because of its importance and because its fair complexity. 

There are several things to keep in mind when trying to make sure that no two accounts get linked to each other – the main ones being:

IP Address – You need to be absolutely certain to NEVER log in to two PayPal accounts from the same IP address or your accounts will get linked almost instantly. In order to achieve this, I suggest you to either use private proxies (I say private proxies because using open, free proxies will get your accoutn limited as soon as PayPal discovers that your IP belongs to a proxy!) or alternatively you can simply go into bars/cafes offering free WiFi and use one cafe for each of your PayPal accounts. 

Cookies – But IP address isn’t all you need to be worried about. Every time you log in to your PayPal account, it stores information about your account on your computer’s hard drive – and surprise, surprise, it can read this information next time you log in! Because of this, you need to make sure to clear the cookies (both regular and Flash cookies) every single time before logging in to your PayPal account. Removing regular cookies is rather simple and chances are that you know how to do it (if you don’t, then simply Google for it and you will come across browser-specific details in a couple of seconds) but PayPal also uses what’s called Flash Cookies, which is a rather new concept. In order to get rid of Flash Cookies, I suggest you to use Mozilla Firefox together with a plugin called BetterPrivacy (you can get it from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6623).

This way, you can get rid of absolutely all the information websites store about you on your hard drive and worry no more.

Account Details –  Even though this should be rather obvious, there are still people out there who register more than one PayPal account using the same details. Avoid making this mistake at any cost and ALWAYS make sure that none of the following would match any information you may have attached to one of your
previous accounts:

•  Your name (NB! Using John M. Smith or Smith John when your other account is registered for John Michael Smith does NOT help you)

•  Your adderess (For best results, use an ENTIRELY different address for each account – I’m talking different street, different zip code and even different city!)

•  Your phone number – NEVER attach the same phone number to two accounts. You can get unique phone
numbers for free (Google for „free VOIP number“ so this shouldn’t be an issue.

•  ANY banking info – Do not use the same credit card or bank account details on more than one PayPal  accounts. This is a very quick way to get your accoutns linked and limited.

Precaution #3 – DO NOT Lie About Your Country!

Quite frankly, it amazes me how many people sign up to PayPal and lie about their country for one reason or another. DO NOT DO IT!  Even though there may be some benefits having a US PayPal account while not based there, this is a very quick way of getting limited! PayPal WILL discover you, unless you do a perfect
job hiding your tracks, and this includes:

•  ONLY using an IP address that belongs to the country you say you are from;

•  Providing realistic address and telephone number details;

•  Using a credit card that is issued in this particular country; And even then it’s risky so unless you have a very good reason, do not do it!

Precaution #4 – Make Your Account Look Legit

 This is one of the most difficult precautions, simply because there’s only so much you can do on your own. However, there are a few things that you can (and should) do to make your PayPal accounts look legit. The most important thing to keep in mind is to use all of your PayPal accounts for both selling AND  buying. Most PayPal users make purchases using their account and you should do the same! Chances are that you make PayPal purchases anyway – but don’t do it only from your main account! Share those purchases between your accounts and you will come off looking far more legit than you would otherwise!

The second suggestion is rather easy – NEVER withdraw your account to zero. I have done business with PayPal a lot and and have noticed that PayPal is very eager to limit accounts that tend to make full withdrawals – and it makes complete sense: withdrawing all the funds you have on your account means that
there will be nothing left for PayPal to cover any possible disputes! Simply leave a small amount on your

PayPal account at all times and you should be fine. Note though that the definition of „small“ depends largely on the average cost of what you’re selling: If the product you’re selling costs $7 a piece then leaving $25 to your account will probably serve you fine. However, if you’re selling $500 products then the $25 won’t go far.

Precaution #5 – Get the Money Out Wisely

This is the final (and the most important) precaution this report gives you – it’s a method that is not at all widely known (and I would certainly appreciate if you wouldn’t share it!) and it has served me exceptionally well for over 2 years! Simply put – the  

VERY WORST THING  you can do with your PayPal accounts is transferring funds from your fake accounts to your main (verified) account to withdraw them from there. Believe me when I say that this will get your accounts -  

INCLUDING YOUR VALUABLE MAIN ACCOUNT – limited very fast and all your funds will be frozen for good! But luckily, I’m going to give you a trick that allows you to get as much money out of your phony accounts as you damn well please :-) And the secret is ... (drum-roll please)...........

USING FREELANCING SITES! That’s right. You’ll be using Freelancer websites (such as GetaFreelancer.com, RentaCoder.com, eLance.com and countless others) to get the money out. The process itself is incredibly simple, and to make it even simpler, here’s a Step by Step guide for you:

Step 1

Create an account at one of the popular freelancing sites and use the name and details that you have used on the PayPal account that you want to get the money out from. *IMPORTANT* Make sure that the freelancing site you choose to use has an Escrow service. (Escrow service means that the money paid for services will be first paid to the account of the site, and only once the service has been completed it will be released to the worker.)

Step 2

Using this account, post a Job Request (task to be done) asking for a service that would usually cost close to the amount of money you want to ’clean up’. Make this job offer look legit and watch the countless number of freelancers offer you their services.

Step 3

Sign up on the same freelancing site, using a different IP (an open proxy or a WiFi hotspot is perfectly fine year) and you real name and PayPal information.

Step 4

Use the newly created account and make a bid on your own job offer – as if you would want to do the job.

Step 5

A few days later, return to the freelancing site with the first account you created, accept the bid that your second account made and pay the money to the freelancing site.


 Step 6

After a couple of more days, log in again, claim that the work has been done (notifying the freelancing site that the payment can be released) and enjoy nice clean funds on your main PayPal account, ready to be withdrawn!

Conclusion

This method has been working wonders for both me and a few of my close friends I have decided to share it with. The reason behind it is simple – PayPal has  ABSOLUTELY NO WAY of finding out on which account did the money you sent ended up! This is especially true if the sum is, for example, $200 and the freelancing site is popular as there are tens if not thousands of similar transfers done every single day.
