Should I use PayPal Invoices to avoid getting limited account access again?
I recently had a problem with PayPal; it limited my account access. It took a bit of effort to lift it, and one of the problems I had to solve was acquiring legitimate invoices for the money I received. Thank goodness I used BlinkSale for most of them, which PayPal seemed to have accepted nicely.
But I was wondering if PayPal invoices would be automatically accepted in the future if and when my account becomes limited again.

Inappropriate?Typically when an account is limited and PayPal is requesting proof of invoices or receipts, they are actually referring to the receipts or sales slips from when you purchased the merchandise you are selling. The PayPal invoicing system is actual used when you are invoicing the customer purchasing your merchandise.
As such, this would not solve the problem at hand. The best thing to do is to keep all your receipts and invoices from when you purchased the merchandise you are selling, so that should you have any problems you have proof of your inventory.
I hope this information helps. Please feel free to contact me should you have any additional questions.

Inappropriate?Thanks. But I usually do my invoices electronically/online. I don't sell merchandise, they're actually freelancing earnings, which are all electronic/online as well. And what about virtual services like ad revenues?

Inappropriate?If you are using your PayPal account to collect payments on services, then you would be able to use the PayPal invoice system to assist with keeping track of your business. When someone is selling a service or an electronic item, the seller will not have invoices for the merchandise. As such you will want to keep track of this business through your invoicing system.
