Does Paypal limit my Account for recieving $5?

[Neshan21]

Hi,

I've seen some information where they say I must receive a small amount of money at first (less than $10), & then gradually increase the amount I receive, otherwise Paypal might limit my account, as it's seen suspicious activity.

Appreciate if someone can correct me here.

Thanks

Never heard that before.

I think paypal only get a security alert if your usual practice is to receive $5 or small amounts for a while and then suddenly receive say $700.
