As a rule of thumb how much can i sell on a paypal account
 

As a rule of thumb how much can i sell on a paypal account before my account being given temp suspension

I did 1,770 gross in feb (i think 1,500 in jan ) and now my paypal account is not accepting anymore money till i provide tax id

Thanks for the help

looks like you are in the same boat as mine, except that I'm still receiving money. So can you still send payment? like purchasing postage/printing shipping? And how many transactions did you make? Is it over 200?

reza, this honestly differs for each account.

It's paypal.

Too rare to have a rule of thumb.

What stops your supplying ID?

i have already used my ss & EIN on suspension paypal accounts

I did 100-$1500 in jan, 99-$1700 in feb
I have other accounts where the message has poped up on paypal but they are still letting me accept money etc. Account is not suspended i can still withdraw money just cant accpt
Seems the start asking questions once you got over $1,500 a months (thats roughly heading towards the $20,000 mark)

FYI accrording to IRS you need 200 transaction AND $20,000 for it to be compulsery to get 1099

It depends on your history with PayPal. If you have been a seller for two months no wonder. If you have been a seller for 4-5 years. Different story. It is not that cut and dry as "in general". Past performance and behavior is assigned a category of risk by PayPal. Think of it like a "credit score" it is based on past performance and history.

Also depends on your comfort zone - there is not rule per say - experimentation will lead to a good general operating style for you
