Paypal believes Unauthorized transaction
 

I made 2 transactions as sending friendly.
1st transaction:
Acc A ------(sending as Friend, $920)-----> acc B.
2nd transaction:
Acc B ------(sending as Friend, $899.99)-----> acc C.

A and B are owned myself.
Until now, PP opened case itself and investigated 1st transaction because of believing that the payment was made without having authorization.
Current situation:
- Acc A was limited.
- Acc B was hold payment, negative balance (-$890) and had 7 days to response (have "provide proof shipping" option).
- The 2nd transaction does not have any problems now.

My solution:
I am going to provide tracking number and upload an unreal invoice in order to release 1st payment and don't care about limitation of A and B.
I need to avoid opening another case for 2nd transaction.
Is this a good idea? And is there any chances that I will pass the case?
Please give me an advise.
Thanks.

Are you sending funds using F&F regularly between the same accounts?

Re: Paypal believes Unauthorized transaction
 

Yes, I always use F&F.
Between A & B, I made:
- 2 transactions from B to A (no problem)
- 1 transaction from A to B (hold and investigated by Paypal)

Between B & C, I made:
- 2 transactions (no problem until now)

I am considering how to avoid holding payment of the second transaction.
Do you have any suggestions?

Re: Paypal believes Unauthorized transaction
 

Why are you doing this?
Is it possible to simply withdrawal to a bank/card instead of using F&F payments to cash out?

Before myself or other members of the forum can give you advise, we just need to get a better grasp at what you are ultimately trying to accomplish.

Sending funds between PayPal's like this is not going to work well long term.

Re: Paypal believes Unauthorized transaction
 

Yes Paypal looks at this as 'high-risk' they will limit accounts for a lot less than that sometimes so you have to be careful.

Re: Paypal believes Unauthorized transaction
 

Can anyone give me the solution in order to release the pending payment?
Thanks.

There's no real solution to this. Uploading invoices and tracking is going to hurt your case more than help, because Friends and Family payments are not supposed to be commercial transactions.

In the future you should just withdraw to a bank account or you're going to keep getting limited. You'd have to be the nicest person in the world to send $900 "gifts" to two of your friends. You're making it blatantly obvious that you're transferring money between your own accounts.

You're sending money between your own accounts, what did you expect to happen?? LOL Good luck. (tsk tsk tsk)

Re: Paypal believes Unauthorized transaction
 

if you send between accounts, never send as F&F

I've been funneling money for a while now successfully, by never sending money as F&F

I also take my time between transactions. So if I send funds to another account, I let it sit.

PP looks at patterns - repeatedly doing could cause serious concerns on all the accounts - even if you provide the info...you should be aware that chances are fair that you will not be reinstated.
