Paying my supplier with the same account i get my orders

[Evofox]

Hi guys, i do dropshipping and almost everyday i need to pay my supplier before he ships my orders, i use one paypal account to collect the money from my clients (website orders) and with the same account i send the money to my Chinese supplier..
Do you think is ok this method or if paypal sees that everytime i pay some dude in China they will limit my account in the long run?

if it's been what you've been doing for a while, chances are you are ok.

But it's Paypal we are talking about, there's no guarantee they'd just pull the plug.

If it's your website there's multiple different ways that's not stress inducing like PP.

With paypal anything can happen at any time. Just be prepared to give them documents when they request

It's best to limit your transactions with your supplier using paypal.
It better to do a one-time sending of $1,000.00 rather than sending 10 times $100.00, for sure you'll be asked as to why/what's the transactions are for.

Ok, thanks guys

The danger is for your supplier's PayPal account which receives funds !

This is a standard dropshipping model - pp can limit the account at any time, nothing is 100%.
While you seem to be having success doing this for awhile....if you can...it's not a bad idea to have separate account for paying the supplier (I know it's difficult if you are relying 100% on the funds coming in to pay for the order)

Many sellers operate that way. with that said, Paypal suspends even legit sellers who are not drop shipping. If you were able to work like that fora while - then you are good to go. But it does not mean that your account cannot get suspended, anytime.

I was thinking this, one account for the orders and one account to pay the supplier.

I have been working the way you are doing for 14 months now, I have no issues.
But I only send arround 400$ a month (small amount transactions since I work with multiple suppliers)
