Will PayPal freak out if I'm spending everything I sell each week? $5k/week

Does it matter if I'm spending it on eBay vs other places?

Good luck with that business model, lol.

Spending 5k a week, in my opinion, will quickly get the account flagged for money laundering and limited.

Is there a reason you cannot withdraw to a bank account?

Welcome to the forums - that is a lot to spend and like Ebayorbust stated, you could run into trouble. No bank account access?

More commonly it's due to illegal activities or tax evasion.

Seems like a very bad long term business model...

No, it won't get you in trouble as long as you're leaving enough to avoid a negative balance. Paypal loves when you spend your balance rather than withdraw it, because they profit on the fees.

In 2016 I used my best account exclusively for buying inventory. I would use that one account to buy stuff for all 3 of my business accounts. That way I'd be "doubling-up" on my profits before eventually withdrawing funds from an account. I was paying multiple $5-$8k orders weekly and never once had an issue. Sent a total of about $420k.

The P/P was limited so I'm now using Moneygram again, but the limitation was for something totally different. I gave P/P the wrong business type/name when I originally upgraded.

Paying suppliers won't get you in trouble. A strong account can freely act as a business and make business purchases. You say you're selling about 5k per week so I'm confident you've already attached a tax ID and are in no way trying to launder money. Just make sure you stay up to date on your taxes.

phaz0rz,

I take it the account you are referring to was fully verified and had a bank account attached to it?

Purchased it from here so it was made with a vcc. For the first half of the year it only had a VBA but I did eventually add a real bank account.

I'm not trying to start an argument, but it's always been my belief that most here are way too careful with accounts. I can understand why an account seller would tell people to be cautious - but it bugs me when these guidelines are stated as fact.

Nobody said you were trying to start an argument.

I was giving my opinion only but can see how it was construed as stating a fact so I will edit it to avoid anyone else getting upset. ;)
