How does PayPal handle high influx of money coming in?
 

Hey everybody! I've been browsing these forums for a little while now.. I have a question so I figured I'd post it here :)

So, lets say I'm listing on eBay for 60 days and do a handful of transactions
during that period. Each item being listed around $20-$35. Selling with 100% positive feedback during a 60 day period. During of which my 21 day hold would be removed from transactions and I've established a level of trust towards eBay/PayPal.

Then I decide to list a high valued item on eBay... around 500-1k.

What precautions would PayPal take when I receive that amount of money? Would there be any limits or restrictions to immediately moving those funds? Would the 21 day hold appear? I wouldn't be using any bank account to withdraw. I'd simply want to make a payment with those new funds.
Anyone with any experience with this type of situation?

You might have a level of trust towards ebay/paypal.


Does not mean that they think the same about you.

Just to clarify you are thinking of selling with paypal without a bank account?

:eek:

21 day hold can appear at any time - best way to operate is with a verified and confirmed PP

One item that is 500-1000 dollars should be ok. Keep in mind just like certain eBay accounts each Paypal account for whatever reason can be either upon creation on their good/bad side.

A better way to understand this is when you say open a eBay account and boom 1 month passed, with 1 sale but you still get that 100/1000 limit increase. You get this and may wonder why would I get this limit increase when I sold X amount of items on another account, got X amount of feedback...but yet ONE sale gets you a limit increase. :noidea:

This is eBay and Paypal at its finest. :pound:

I say that to say this....

You always run a risk even with 60 days passed selling that high risk of a item. You could/should be ok but the reality of selling with eBay AND Paypal is eBay can revoke your selling privileges and or bring back 21 day hold, Paypal can bring back the 21 day hold, limit you...etc etc.

Its a calculated risk. IF your confident in your stealth practices you should know what to do :thumb:

If your not your facing ...:pry:

Remember when in doubt, don't do it.

Thank you for your responses!

GreenBean-
Just to clarify.. The PayPal account would be 100% verified. It would have a VCC and VBA on there. None of which would be associated with my real name. One IP associated with it. And cookies stored for those accounts and associated with the accounts. Nothing should throw red flags in regards to that. It would also show 100% feedback on all items sold for the 60 day period.

The 21 day hold would be confirmed gone before I list a high valued item.

I guess it's "random" which doesn't help much. I suppose it's time to dive in and test this all out and put my stealth skills to the test.
