Avoid PayPal Bans: Why New Business Accounts Get Limited
If you’ve recently created a new PayPal business account and found it suspended or limited almost immediately, you’re not alone. PayPal uses an automated system—commonly referred to as the “PayPal Robot”—to monitor and flag suspicious activity. Unfortunately, one of the most overlooked reasons for account limitations is the quality of your internet connection.
Check Your IP Address Before Creating a PayPal Account
One critical step before setting up a PayPal account is verifying your IP address status. You can do this easily by visiting ipaddress.my. If you see [Proxy: yes] in the Proxy section, you’re likely using a proxy or VPN that PayPal’s system might associate with fraud. In that case, it’s strongly recommended to switch to an ISP that displays [Proxy: no].
