PayPal limited to $500 withdrawal per 30 days question
 

I've had this account since 2005. But I just noticed probably a month ago there is a limit of $500 withdrawal per 30 days. I have a Simon Visa gift card attached to it so I thought that would lift it. But it hasn't. Do I need a MasterCard instead for it can get verified? I did have a MasterCard before but it expired in 10/08. I have a Wells Fargo bank account attached and always have.

click on "view limits" in you account. you must do 2 of the 3 items on the list

I know this is what is weird, I have the Simon Visa gift card already on this account. So that should complete the 2nd step. Bank account is already confirmed. But when I go and type in that Visa gift card account under "Link and confirm your debit or credit card" it says "That card number is already registered with PayPal. Please enter a different number." So do I need to go get a MasterCard gift card to verify?

i only used the simon account a few times and i am pretty sure it counted as one of the steps. i have never had to add a second card for paypal. maybe something has changed...

I think it does the first time, but if I remember correctly you can only get that 3 digit expanded use code once for Visa for some reason w/PayPal. Maybe someone else knows for sure? I hate to spend the money to get another gift card if that's not the reason. Thanks though for responding.

Goto your Profile and in the "ADD or Edit Credit Card" Section Click on Remove the simon card first and then re-enter it in.

I may be wrong but I thought mastercard prepaid did not work ?

Anyone tried AMEX gift card for lifting 500 limit?

No update as yet if these work. ;)

Thanks GreenBean..:) A wonder woman! Always there and everywhere with an answer! How do you keep up with all of us..?! I wonder..... :)

you need add and confirm bank account first and there is 2 option to lift withdraw limit
1. confirm your ssn number
2. confirm your credit card (can do with vcc) by add card and confirm paypal expanded number. paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_authorize-cc-start&return_cmd=_account

Becca073, the same thing happened to me on my PP account. Appears like PayPal forgets sometimes and limits agin with 500 limit.
What I did, I deleted ALL the unsuccessful Simon acc. attempts and left only my confirmed checking and debit card. Than I purchased $25 Amex Gift card and was able to lift the limit. The only downfall with Amex is that it takes few days for Expuse # to show up, so you just need to be patient..

Is it still safe to give the bank account number of my real name for paypal to make the deposits to get get verified? I read that they only confirmed the small deposits were the right amount and not the persons name, but the posts were from some time ago. I just got suspended after many years and am learning to path of stealth right now. Any assistance is so appreciated.

I believe yes, if you never used this account on Ebay or PP before. Just make sure that your address and zip code matches on both.

contact PayPal why your card can not used

So then its confirmed AMEX works to get this lifted?

What about pre-paid Mastercards? I didn't see any of these at my grocery store the other day but I think Washington Mutual has them where you can order one online.

Yes, Amex is confirmed by me just recently. I never used Mastercard, so I can't say.

Thanks! That's good enough for me. I will go get a AMEX gift card from the grocery store tonight!

Yea, it will show first that PayPal took out 1.95 and 1.00 and nothing else, so don't panic like I did..lol. Wait a 2-3 days and check your Amex again and your Expuse # will be there. Than just log into your PP, type in the 4 digit number and you are good to go..
