Is receiving $3k at once can cause me troubles?

Hello,

I am a freelancer and I withdraw my earnings from freelance websites through PayPal, and it can reach $600 per withdrawal. Now I am working with some agencies, and I expect to receive during July around $3k at once.

My question is concerned with this augmentation in the amount of money I receive. Is receiving $3k at once going to affect my account, put it on hold or limit it?

I have all documents for each payment received from the agency (purchase orders)

 

I have had a look at terms and conditions, I know I should be concerned with unknown users of PayPal or though with a negative balance, etc, but I thought it will be more useful to ask and get clear instructions and recommendations.

 

Thank you.

Hi @MaherAbdo,

 

Welcome to the PayPal Community! I'm glad you took the time to proactively reach out. We pride ourselves on maintaining the safety and security of all accounts, and sometimes this does mean monitoring for rapid changes in account behavior. An example of a rapid change would be a sudden increase in payments received. I wouldn't be able to 100% say either way that the account would or would not experience some kind of hold or potential limitation, but the chances of this happening are greater. If you'd like to dive into more specific situations, please reach out to us through either Facebook or Twitter, or you can always go to the bottom of any PayPal page and click "Help" or "Contact."

 

Thanks,
Gwen
