Hi everybody

I wanted to create a pay-pal account to do a payment for a member, but when I'd just put in all my personality-stuff, I was told that my account (which I swear I hadn't made before) was permanently blocked and with it all my personal entries... So I can't just make a new one

What to do? I really don't want my seller to get mad or anything

Thanks for help

Not sure what happen but sounds like your particular is sort of blacklist/blocked by PP, maybe you can email PP to tell them what happen and ask them why can't you register and create an account?

I would contact Paypal and say WTF is going on! lol Contact the seller and say you are having some difficulties.

Okay...I can't hang around in here waiting, but Napoleon...you say you put in your personal info...which in PayPal might mean you put in bank info, credit card info, maybe account numbers and routing numbers for verification...
If that is the case you need to right now be on the phone with your bank, nobody else, till you can notify them what happened.
Protect your assets first.
Then PayPal.
Then the seller.

Sorry I was in bed (europe), but thanks for your answer. But all I put in was Name, mail etc when trying to open a paypal account, so there never was a credit card or whatsoever registered. I don't know why it claims that there already is a account which is blocked...
Maybe a fake account or so?

My apologies, but in the PayPal world nothing is an over-reaction. It is rife with fraud. People tend to not think about the fact that if you've ever given or sent a check to someone…they have your full name, bank, account number, routing number, and probably email address. Each time you hand someone your credit card, or use it online, they have the same info, plus your CVV2 or security code. Exactly what PayPal uses to set up an account.

It sounds like in your case either someone tried to open an account in your name…or someone of the same name and email address tried to open an account. You'd be surprised how easy the former is…and how common the latter is. Especially if you are, say, [email protected] :)
There are no fake accounts…but an account you don't know about. Yours is frozen/blocked…which is probably a good thing.
When you speak with PayPal, keep in mind that you are allowed 2 accounts…one personal and one business..this may help if you have a problem unfreezing this one.

Thank you for your answer! I talked with my bank-manager and now I'm going to talk with someone at paypal. I hope that this will unwind itself quickly now
