Using your paypal in other countries

My girlfriend is moving here and may need to access her paypal account one last time when she is here to send about £500 from her bank to my paypal so i can withdraw it for her.

 

How can I go about preventing any issues with this transaction such as account limitation and what can I do to resolve any issue that may happen if it does?

 

What information needs to be given to resolve an issue?

 

Should we test it first with a small transfer or will it make no difference because £500 is a much larger more questionable amount to send?

 

would her sending money to me on there now before she leaves reduce the chance- because our paypals would then have previous interactions with each other and possibly raise less alarm bells with paypal?

 

thank you to anyone who responds it would help greatly

I would ring customer services first and let them know that is what you are going to do so that they can mark it as a non security risk and advise you if there will be any other issues.
