I am pretty scared to use Paypal, to be honest. I have heard so many horror stories. I literally cannot afford for my account to be limited, and there WILL be an unsual spike in how much money will be going into my Paypal account soon, especially compared to how much I was earning before. I understand that a spike in payment volumeis one of the high-risk signs on Paypal, and then to investigate, they proceed to limit or freeze your account, whether you are verified and free or all limits or not.   I can't have this hapening.   My transaction history shows that  I have been paid small amounts. The sudden spike is perhaps goint to result in my account being reviewed, and I hope to God that they leave my account alone, as I am completely verified.   Do I have to phone customer suport to talk to someone who works for Paypal about this to let them know that nothing suspicious is going on, and that a simple increase in my earnings is happening? ...

My account status is Verified, and there is no 'lift limits' link next to it. I am assuming that that means that there are no limits on my account? I am just not sure; I have been told by someone that works for Paypal to first transfer $100, then $150, then $250, because smal transfers will 'work in my favor,' whatever that is supposed to mean.   I need a garuantee that transfering this $750 all at once isn't going to come back to bite me. The money that goes through my paypal account is the only source of income that I get. I cannot afford for my account to get frozen. I have heard of people's accounts being limited for what Paypal thinks is suspicious activity, when it actually isn't.   To play it safe, I think I will transfer the money bit by bit.   Thanks for your answer 🙂 ...

Thanks for your response 🙂   I have lifted my limits today, after finding out that I had any at all. I was very worried at first, especially since everybody was saying how difficult it was to remove those limits. The limits link next to my account status, which is verified, now has not 'Lift limits' option, so as far as I am concerned, that means that the limits have been lifted and I am free to receive as much as I want without Paypal etting suspicious and freezing my account?   I make peanuts online at the moment, and soon will be making a nice penny. I just don't want paypal to assume that anything is going on and freeze my account.   Can I ask, are the fees of a Premiere account more expensive than a personal account? Because I may have upgraded to premiere already, and I know that there is no reversing that.   Thanks again for your response.  ... View more

Ok then, well thank you for your advice and assistance. it is greatly appreciated. I will not drop this case until Paypal respond to me about this, if my money keeps decreasing everyday. I put a lot of work into earning that $5. I want to retain as much of it as possible.   Thanks again, and take care. X ... View more

Thank you so much for your response 😄   I have email paypal about this twice now, and haven't received so much as a whisper in response. So what would you suggest, that before I cash out with the site that pays me my daily $5, that I check the conversion rates and make sure that they are high enough for me?   If I do that, then can the money still decrease by the time that it is deposited into myPaypal account. I really can't afford for the money to keep dropping like this, and since Paypal aren't responding then I need to come up with a strategy. I usually cashout as soon as I am finished working, and the time is 20.00 over here in the UK right now, so should I cashout in the evenings to make sure that I don't get robbed?   Thanks again ...
