Question about paypal getting limited and gifts

[charizard]

So I have a paypal account verified with a vba/cc and I also have the documents + ssn on it. If I send a gift for a very high amount, say $5,000, to another account, what is the likelyhood this transaction goes through, and how many times?

Cheers

Such a type of transaction may result in an immediate limitation.

What you have omitted to say is age of the account, amount of funds previously run thro' the account. It would be preferable to say if there had been any issues, chargebacks etc.

One part of the deal you seem not to have considered is the status of the account that will be receiving funds.

I would advise 'caution'. Consider other methods to move your funds about.

paypal dislikes 'gifts'. I'm not going to pry but I seriously doubt you are sending 'gifts' to dear friends or family. If I am suspicious of your kindness, paypal will be worse.

That's a reasonable point. Well I'll see what happens.

Now, that's not to say it can not be done.

Since you have given your SSN, you might want to consider contacting paypal & giving some story.

You would need to decide.

True story: I have sent on my account that was over 1 year old about 5k using cash advance, gift, and other method. It went fine for a couple of days then paypal calls me and I dont answer (I was busy). Bam limited paypal requiring tons of documents for what that was. Till now its limited forever. Put yourself in paypal agent spot and ask yourself why would this paypal holder sent 5k as a gift multiple times. In there eyes its money laundering (even if thats not what your doing). I think only big corporate accounts with legit brick store business most of them can do that without issues. Anyways I wish you the best if it suceeds with you, but knowing paypal its probably a big fail especially with your legit account.
