Danger in using Paypal through Player Auctions?

[stuffs]

I sell solely through Player Auctions, to prevent chargebacks/disputes, and other bullshit people pull on Paypal.

Obviously, I have no chance of ever getting a dispute or having any problems with Paypal. All the money I'm receiving is legitimate, and Paypal should have no problems with it. What are the chances of my account getting Limited, for whatever reason?

Right now I have $850 in my account, and will have a couple hundred more in a few days. What kind of danger am I in?

My account is a Premier account (Should I upgrade to Business?), I have both a credit (well, debit) card and bank account linked, and have a phone number/address on file. I don't see a place where I put my SSN #, but if there is, I wouldn't put inputting that either.

Your account is not at jeopardy for any cause as long as the majority of the money came from "Player Auctions" so don't worry.

 

NEVER keep money in your Paypal. ALWAYS transfer it to your bank account. Paypal limits people for seemingly random reasons. For instance, if they see you're receiving 850+ this month but only received that much all of last year, they may limit you. For that reason, try and get your funds out ASAP.

Your account shouldnt be at jeopardy, but send your funds like Nick said to your bank account as a precaution and when you need money withdraw it from their also.

It would also be more safe if you upgrade to business account. And also what they have said in the past post. to transfer as much as you can to your bank.

If you never buy with paypal, you should instantly withdraw all the money you receive. I spend large amounts every day so I generally keep on average $3000 in paypal because as soon as I hit zero I am only allowed to send echecks, sometimes causing me to miss purchases. But if you aren't rebuying then just dump all your money from paypal into your bank account the secod you receive it.

My paypal has been limited four times:
1st. High volume of sales in comparison to previous month. Required to fully verify myself.
2nd. High dispute/chargeback percentage. In reality I only had two disputes but I was deemed high risk. Had to appeal to the escalations board to get unlimited.
3rd. Received a serious spike in sales during february and I was required to fill in business information, upload bank statements, maintain a reserve, among other things.
4th. Applied for the paypal debit card. Rejected me because I had a high volume of sales. Requested proof of social security and drivers license.

So yeah, get that money out of there asap.

This is exactly the kind of post I was looking for, thanks Viou.

Basically, in other words, Paypal is absolutely batshit retarded. The fact that they'd put one of the biggest sellers on this website through such bullshit is ridiculous. I wish there were easier alternatives, because I'm pretty much fed up with hearing about all the things Paypal does to innocent people, and their money.

Is it possible to just directly pay from your bank account through paypal? Without waiting 2-3 days for your bank to put the money on paypal? I'm fairly new because if that is possible, I won't keep any money on paypal any longer. Seen the fact if it gets locked, I lost my money for 180 days, possible.
