Hi Nadeem,

Sorry to hear of the situation you are in, but creating a new account won't do you any good, PayPal will see that its still you and it will still get closed or restricted.

Have you tried contacting PayPal to ask further about their reasons for closing your account and if there was anything you could do for them to reinstate it.

In case PayPal decides to keep your account closed, it might be time for your to consider other payment alternatives like Paymate and Google Checkout which are both accepted on eBay.

I found this thread which might help - Link hidden: Login to view

All the best!

Hi Nadeem, I am sorry to hear about your misfortune with PayPal. But you should really give them a call to speak to Live Rep. It's so much easier to get an understanding about what's going on with your account.

There's also another site that is similar to PayPal, and the rates are cheaper: cashsender.com

Good Luck!

Hi Nadeem,

When PayPal close an account, it's pretty much goodnight to PayPal as a payment gateway. My guess is it had something to do with your stock profile, most likely fake branded items.

As Richelle advised, look for payment alternatives. That will pretty much be your only avenue from here, although I wouldn't be surprised if your eBay account is also in trouble at this point.

I think calling PayPal is a very good idea, at least try to get an answer as to why they took that action. If they will give you an exact answer, which I doubt, but still worth trying, you will get an idea on if your eBay account is also being watched closely!
