"Don't do it" - My journey from permanent PayPal limitation to freedom

Back when Windows keys were being sold all around this forum, I was a young teen and I wanted to get in on that, obviously. Learn from my mistakes, its best to stay white hat. I sold $300 of keys in a week and bought myself an iPod touch, and got limited for a time and quit the game. I should have quit right there after earning my iPod nano, but I saw all the cheap keys around and I decided that it was a goldmine. So, I acquired as many keys as I could and I went back on ebay a couple of months later and decided to sell as much as I could, without thinking how fast my sales were increasing. By the fourth day, I was making around $800 a day, and I thought the profits would never end. Eventually someone had a problem, but rather than refunding him, I decided to make him pay for having a bad attitude and trying to rip me off. That was another mistake - the customer is always right. Some of you, if you were on here then, know that I've made threads about this before:

https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=424284 (the prophets are true, I am permanently limited)
https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=3580791 (thread about me not being able to buy on paypal)

Because I dealt with selling keys, my name was tarnished. Every time I tried to buy anything using my debit card, even if I changed the number, it wouldn't process because it would be linked with my name and last name, address and phone number, the whole shabang. It created a lot of headaches the past 5 years. I've made at least 5 different accounts in my name to try and get past the system, to no avail.

I made a new account with my university email the other day and of course it got limited after a few transactions. I called paypal today, because I hoped it was because of the dispute in the resolution center (started by paypal, they asked him what I was buying). Over the phone they said that my account was limited because I was selling keys, and I told them that this happened a long time ago in my early teens, that I can't even remember the email, and that I'm trying to work for my business (which I'm trying to do tonight, paypal is everywhere you know). So he put me on hold, and about 5 minutes later my account was unlimited and unlinked from my tarnished account, with the agreement that I don't sell keys again. So, I'm finally FREE! No stealth paypals necessary, I can finally use my real name again. It feels good.

Tldr; I grew up on this forum too, kids. Don't let the mistakes you make now carry over into your future, because they do, and they create many pains in your asses. Imagine not being able to purchase anything on paypal, except with your mom/dad's card.

It is a big hastle and I couldn't get a lot of things I otherwise would have, and I wasted a lot of money buying paypal vcc's at a ridiculous fee just trying to buy knick knacks for Christmas.

Ttldr; I'M FINALLY FREE!
