Default Paypal - Limited account risks?

Hi
I receive on average 1000$ a day via Paypal over the last 2 months.
I want to accept paypal on this forum for selling.
What would be too much to cause Paypal to raise the your account is limited flag?
As an example would 10000$ over 3 days be pushing it?
I would hate to be limited
I know I could probably ask Paypal but I figure someone here may know based on actual experience.
Thanks for any help


Frank

They're just waiting for you to leave a large enough amount in your paypal account to put the limitation on...


The best advice for dealing with paypal..

DO NOT..and i repeat, DO NOT KEEP A LARGE AMOUNT OF CASH IN YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT!!..


Whatever funds you have there now, transfer them to your bank account a.s.a.p!!

And if you still insist on using them, i'd suggest whatever funds you have sent to you via paypal, instantly transfer the funds to your bank account...

Here are some helpful websites and forums you can use if you ever run into trouble with paypal..

www.paypalsucks.com

www.nopaypal.com

Site helped me out a whole lot..got my funds a couple days ago after filing complaint with AG of their state..which is Nebraska..

Good Luck when dealing with paypal......Eventually, they will freeze your account..they're more than likely watching your account now as your reading..waiting..

also, become very familiar with their TOS and their User Agreement..Read and understand every single page..all 50 of them...

Paypal can be made to work, just people do not realise and expect everything on a plate....

The best advice you can be given is to talk to paypal, not just by email, also ring them. It may take a while to get through to the right person due to the automated responses and push/pull operators but when you do expaloin your plans and the increases in revenues that you expect and what you need to do to ensure the account stays active.

They will probably ask for some business critical information but in the long run this will help your account and prevent any "issues".

I unfortunately didn't follow this advice and went through the old account frozen process, the account is now active and the volume of cash running thorugh it on a daily basis can change quite drastically and I do not get any issues..

Also if you are getting funds in it for a year or more on a regular bases it will benifit you. I have had my account for 2 years and have money flying in and out of it on a regular bases. I have never had any problems with mine. I started out slow and I think that is the key.

Thanks and excellent advice
However I have traveled the frozen account road before. I just want to make sure it doesn't happen once more. What does one consider unusual activity in terms of payments that would raise a flag? If I go from an average 1 thousand to 3 thousand overnight is that enough reason for worry? I would of course make sure the money is constantly being withdrawn. I never have more than a couple of hundred in the account at a time

Thanks again
