withdraw methods: volume concerns
 

Hi, Yes, I see there are ass-tons of posts regarding withdrawing from PP. It seems nobody wants to spill the beans when they find a good alternate way, so the only one ever really mentioned is withdraw to bank account (US). My concern is about getting flagged for high volume. I deal in high value items, and of course the money on my PP isnt just my profit, its my cost as well. So if I make a few $ off a few hundred dollar item, I have to worry about withdrawing the whole few hundred $ in order to just make my cut.

So, will PP freak out if I withdraw, per account (big ticket items, so cant be spread around too thin) $100/day, $500/day, $1000/day? Anyone have a feel for when they start to notice?

Would dropping it into a 3rd party merchant account be less suspicious at higher volumes? I dont mind losing a % for sustainability.

One thing I had considered, although it keeps $ in pp longer so risky, is to make, say, a $700 sale on one account, then make sales on the other accounts while I slowly withdraw $70/day for 10 days. Then make another sale. That way I can spread out the withdrawals, but then it occured to me that a slow, constant leak might actually be more suspicious....

I think at this point Im over thinking it. Suggestions?

It depends on the type of items youre selling and more than anything I find the age of the account is a major factor.
On my aged accounts I pull about $1k every couple of weeks and have been doing this for several years. Like I said these are aged accounts with plenty of history.
I wouldnt do multiple withdrawals of small amounts.
And if youre concerned about it then perhaps going with a merchant account and processing credit card payments yourself is the way to go. Dont think itll cost much more than the fees paypal are charging you.

yes your overthinking it man. just always leave a little something in the acct and proceed

I withdraw whatever I've made each day at the end of the day, which is usually anywhere from £50 to maybe £350...I always leave like say £20 behind, in case I need it.

I never leave my money behind in paypal, never had a problem at all....having said that, like the previous poster I have to say it is an old account.

PayPal everytime limit my accounts when they have many money. I always send money and left 10-20% or 20-30USD in PayPal. All my limited accounts have 300+ USD when I tried to leave the funds for a few days. So I'm startin:attention: to think that leaving funds in PayPal is a very risky play.

I dont mind too much having money on a 180 day hold. Its a small pain, but eventually I will start getting regular checks like I'm on their payroll LOL. Plus, on the bright side it sort of defers taxes )

Honestly, I just dont want to leave a bunch of dead accounts all over the place. Im 100% sure they know a lot of these trick exist, its just not worth making life hell for the rest of the customers to keep us out. IOW, burn too many accounts and you force them to care that you exist.

They don't care on the volumes you withdraw. They care about the sources of money. So as long your money flow is clear and legit, you can withdraw any amount of money you want, and as often as you want. I never ever had issues withdrawing any money as long as I was able to answer their questions. Of course, I verify my PPs FULLY before operating large scale business.

I think you should be good to withdraw daily to a bank account. Others have posted that they withdraw high volume daily. I would just try to keep it under $1000/day.

It depends on a lot of factors. Chargebacks, Claims, Refunds, Age, etc...

If you keep a normal trend then you are ok. If you withdraw $50 here and there and then jump to $1000 it will flag. Also, if you withdraw a lot before iten is delivered them that's a flag.

I can withdraw $5000 a day without a problem. But this is a fully verified Corporation, invoices confirmed, ID confirmed and more... So many variables.
