I recently hit a stupid sending limit (it was my understanding that the limit was supposed to reset every 31 days if you are unverified, but it didn't...). So now when I go to "send money" paypal says I can't send any money to anyone, but what if I make a purchase from a site that automatically withdraws your payment from your account? Would that be blocked too? I have something I want to buy from an online store but I obviously don't want to go to buy something and have my payment blocked. 😕 ... View more

Ok, I've had paypal since around January now. My account is unverified. When I initially added funds with a greendot moneypack, I added $40 and my sending limit was set to $40.  I eventually spent that $40.   About a month ago I added another $20 (this being about three months after I spent my last $40, by the way) and my sending limit was still showing $40. I have received money from others and had over $70 on my account. When I obtained more money, my sending limit lifted up to $60. Yesterday I sent $7 to someone. When I look at my main page and when I click "View limits", it still says I can send up to $60 before I reach my sending limit. I went to pay someone earlier in the amount of $13 and to my surprise, paypal informs me that I'm only allowed to send $12.79 before I reach my limit.   What the heck? I have only sent a total of $7 since my account was set to a $60 sending limit. It still says my sending limit is $60, except when I go to pay someone. What am I supposed to do? I don't want to verify my account by linking a bank account. Are you telling me that the $50+ on my account is just gone? It's my money but I can't even use it? What the heck....  ... View more

Ok, my paypal account is unverified because I don't want to link a bank account/credit card to it. I used a Greendot Moneypak to upload $40 to my account. After I had used the $40 I was informed that I had reached my initial sending limit and that I would not be able to send any more money until I verified my account.   That was over a month ago. now Paypal is telling me that I have a $40 sending limit again (not a $0 like it was before). I haven't uploaded any more money to my account. So I have a few questions:   Has it really been reset? Or is it just telling me what my intial limit was? (Aka if I were to suddenly get another $40 on my account, would I be able to use it or would I have to verify?)   If I were to upload more money via another Moneypak card, would my limit be reset to the amount I added? If someone were to send me money (say $50), would I be able to use all of that money or would I still be stuck at a $40 limit?     This is very important because I have things I want to buy, but I don't want to end up with money trapped in my account that I can't use, or having to tell someone "whoops, looks like I can't pay you" after I've agreed to purchase something from them.   ...
