There seems to be someone with an odd sense of humour in charge of my account too. Receiving limit per year £1,969.00 GBP £389.78 GBP 23 Aug 2018 I got a notification saying I was approaching my annual receiving limit. So I emailed PayPal to explain that I had checked the reset date and was in no danger of exceeding the limits as the reset date was only about 30 days away and there was no likelihood of exceeding it. I kept checking on the limits, but the reset date has been set to various dates when I have looked, 1986, 1996 and dates in the past. Now I have gone past the original reset date if I recall correctly, but it is now set to 2 years in the future. I don't mind providing account verification at such point when it is required, but being pressured into this when by my understanding it isn't seems strange. Every year previously when the reset date passed the receiving limit was reset to zero, has this changed? The money received is entirely from eBay sales so is quite transparent in origin, and I had unusually good sales at the start of the last PayPal year which have since dropped to lower levels which can be seen in my account history, so I have no likelihood of needing the raised limits in the foreseeable future either. Nearly half of that money was postage and fees so it isn't even representative of what I actually received personally. I also think it useful to have limits on my account for security reasons if it was ever hacked, so I am quite happy for the limits to remain if possible. Is it normal to see this when using PayPal?
