Large Payments Through Paypal
 

So, I've had this experience before, selling things for larger amounts (acutally, for between $300 - $400, which isn't THAT large in the grand scheme of things... I mean scammers take $1,000's...) and getting limted paypal. In the past the account was new, so I figured that was what was going on, but I just had the same thing happen to me on a 6 month old fully verified account. The amount was $360 which I didn't think was too bad.

I sold an item about 7 days ago for a similar amount, and this is the 2nd "large" payment that I've received on the account. I remember that the 2nd payment of similar amount is what triggered limitation on the previous account...

Does anyone have any insight into this? Should I be limiting myself to taking one such large payment per month on my account? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

(Just a possible recourse for others in this situation - I'm always very accommodating for customers, and was able to tell this particular person that there was a problem with the payment, refund the payment and request that they send the money to a different account, which they did. May be an option in the future for sellers here...)

Its got to be something else. Those payment sizes are not something that would trigger a limitation. What about car dealers that take thousands in deposits and payments on paypal? they get limited on every payment, No.

Are you selling Vero items, what category, do you have any claims, closed or not? what are your DSR's like. A little of each matters I think in this case.

Have you tried just calling them and asking why this happens. they have no problem telling you why in most cases. Try that.

Really, so the amount you think means nothing?... I'm not sure what DSR's mean, but maybe that's something?? No claims or the like on the account. In the previous account I mentioned, I had actually received payment then immediately sent this as a gift to another account to be able to withdraw through my Paypal debit card. They told me in this instance that they suspected some type of multi-level marketing scheme, which made sense at the time, but in this case I got the payment and simply withdrew to my bank account.

I'll call them to see, thanks for the reply!
