I set up a Paypal business account and have added a Bank account and credit card (both have been verified by retrieving the PP codes).
Limits have been removed from the account apart from the receiving limit of $2500.
Does this happen to every new business account?
When I reach the limit I understand i have to provide some "proof" documentation - how long until the limit is lifted once the docs are with PP?
I think i understand that in the process of providing this info to PP that the account can still receive money but I cannot access it until the limit is lifted. Am I correct?
When the receiving limit is lifted what is the new receiving limit? Is it unlimited?
Thank you for your help with this
Apologies if it is a little basic!

Hello @NeilUK,
Thanks for reaching out, that's a great question! After you lift your initial €2,500 (or currency equivalent) limit, you should be good to go! I don't see there is a receiving limit (monthly, yearly, etc) after you lift your initial limit.
Cheers,
