I am a full-time medical student. I sell a lot of stuff on eBay and have gone thru many headaches with them. Unfair suspensions for random computer-automated stuff…limits..etc. It was frustrating and I could never seem to get anyone who was willing to help me understand what was going on.
Recently, I bought a lot and sold as well. Naturally..it’s the holidays. BAM..Paypal LOCKS my account. I only had about in there, so I wasn’t too worried. Yes, it DID mess up my business and has driven me into a whirlwind of depression…it’s a long story..but I just cannot believe that these companies are allowed to get away with what they do. So needless to say, I had enough. I said..I am no longer going to be a victim to eBay and Paypal. HOWEVER, in all fairness, I transferred a big lump sum of money into Paypal to make sure that my eBay seller fees were paid off. I have an automated monthly payment.
Although Paypal will not allow me to disconnect my bank account or ANYTHING from their account, I still wanted to follow the rules and pay eBay…although I despise them with a passion (I guess I "never had any issues" until it was ME that it happened to). Needless to say, eBay cannot process it since "Paypal" has placed limits, and they now want me to go OUTSIDE of eBay to pay with my credit card, etc. This is INSANE, as Paypal is THEIR company. I now have over ,000 in Paypal that I cannot get back. I was doing the right thing by placing it in there, so that my balance would be high enough for eBay to take their fees. I cannot get ANYTHING back from Paypal…and eBay wants me to pay a HUGE seller invoice "another way".
I simply do not have this money and these two companies are causing me so much stress that I am physically ill and nearly passing out at times. I want to do the right thing, and I have made a very clear effort, but I do not want to pay eBay ,000 because they cannot process the payment thru Paypal. That was the agreement. I pay on time every month, and signed up for the automated payment so they would always have their fees..and now this?
I wanted to ask..what happens if you do not pay your eBay fees? Again, it’s not because I don’t want to..it’s because Paypal now has ,000 and has frozen my account for 6 months (due to the holiday spike..and they said it was "suspicious" since I was buying and selling now….they asked for my social..I gave it to them..they performed a credit check..and said they were closing my account..I’m young so my credit isn’t really that great..) I have heard stories that Paypal never even gives this money back after 6 months..they find a way to fine you and say they are keeping it for fees, etc…all while they build interest off your money.
It’s bad enough that I’m at loss..and there is nothing I can do to stop these tyrants..but I simply cannot afford to lose another ,000 and I am thinking about telling eBay they need to take their payment from Paypal, or stop harassing me. What would happen? I know some say they will report you to the credit bureau..but how is that even possible if eBay doesn’t have any of your personal info? For all they know, you can type anything you want on your eBay account. Please help. Thanks

ok so my first ebay account i ever opened got suspended because i didn’t pay my ebay fees which were 700.00 dollars. Then after this i already had another ebay account that i just had to have. So i started using that one and everything was good no suspension for about 5 months but then all of a sudden yesterday it got suspended cause they said im linked to my older ebay account that was the first one i had, so i created a new ebay account and in less than 3 hours is was suspended again. I used all different info on it except for paypal do u think that’s how they tracked me? cause i created the new user id at school.totally different ip address. Now i do plan to pay all my fees but i have so many things to sell on ebay but it wont let me. What do i have to do?? create a new user id with a new paypal all with different info? cause just the different email wont work. thanks for all your answers.
I am a Ebay Seller that selles Cell Phone & Aceessories. I don’t use paypal, but a credit card merchant acct. Recently my merchant acct got suspended for 180 days. Caused of suspension? increase of voulme and high risk product. Now, my acct has been suspended for about 2 weeks. In the mean time, I was still selling cell phones because they first told me that it was just a small review, so I thought everything would be okay. I have all the accessories in stock cos I bought them at a close out. But for an actual cell phone, I used a dropper shipper. Now, I have already spent all my lifetime saving to have those cell phone orders shipped out without any money being returned for another 180 days. But I am now out of my savings already. In fact, I am even getting kicked out of my apartment, too, cos I didn’t pay my rent but to ship phones. Now, I still have 40 customer’s order not shipped. They are going crazy at me~ what can I do? Even my bank acct is overdrawn. Am I committing a Fraud?
To people who are answering my question! I did not take people’s money. My Credit Card merchant never released the funds to me. They have the money and won’t return it for another 180 days because they suspended my account. I used a drop shipper, so normally once I recieved my customer’s money, I will send it over to my vendor and have them ship out the goods. But after they have suspended my merchant acct, I stop recieving money. So I have been shipping goods to my customers without any money depositing to my account. I was using my lifetime saving to ship to goods out. But now I am so broke & have no more money to ship the items. That’s why I am asking if I have committed a fraud if I can’t ship. Cos my merchant told me that it is my responsibility to have the goods shipped even if my merchant acct is suspended. But I am like "but I have never even recieved any funds from the purchase" Well, I did, I used my savings and shipped until I am now broke. Do I go to jail next?
I still have orders that are not shipped – Those customers are going crazy at me. I absolutely have no more saving to ship out their orders.. Unless my dear merchant release some of my money back, but that’s not due for another 6 months… I am so screwed
I signed up for a credit card merchant account, but not Paypal! Many years ago, I was only 18 yrs old. I have sold some of my own Clothes, Nikes, Playstation 2, DVDs and Games using Ebay via Paypal. For no reason in particular, Paypal at that time had suspended my account and had my funds frozen. The information they wanted from me was unobtainable, such as invoices for the merchandise I was selling which was difficult since most of the items were my own personal belongings. So paypal held my funds for 6 months and it was a horrible experience. After this, I decided to use a credit card merchant account instead of going through paypal. To your other question, I have order processed my customer’s order, they have already gone through the checkout system and paid. So after they’ve paid, my merchant should give me the money by depositing to my bank. But since my merchant acct has been suspended, of course the answer is no deposit, "but you still have to ship"
To you next question: Okay, Everything seemed fine, but then I realized that funds were not being deposited from my credit card merchant and I find out yet again that my account is on hold for some time for review (the holdup being due to chargebacks from several customers). Those chargebacks were looked into and I realized that they were from people that had used stolen credit cards. So cell phones were shipped out and chargebacks were done. My merchant concluded me as a high risk account, that’s why they suspended me. (thanks to those fraudulant credit card customers of course)
Answer question 1:
No I am not the person who sold you a bad charger. In fact where I come across a defective item, I will replace it for my customer.
