    If you've had big amounts go through your account before it should be fine. Paypal are prone to limiting accounts though. I would just say get it out asap.

    If your account is fully verified, it should not be a problem.

    I took out $15k which google sent me. That was about a year back and didn't had any problem. My paypal still works fine.

    Honestly why would Paypal take your money? If it's legal then why are you afraid?

    There are a lot of marketers making 10k, 20k, 50k a month... And some of them take Paypal... How is it different from other merchants? You have to pay their fees 2.5%-5% but that's deducted automatically... Also you need to pay taxes... depending on your country...

    But the rest is yours and no one can claim your money...

    Wish you luck!

      I've dealt with several PayPal nightmares over the years and all my stuff has been totally legit and above board.

      It's not so much that PayPal would "take" the money but it can be a real inconvenience and nerve wracking experience if they limit the account and lock the funds until verification is done.

      I'd suggest getting it out of there. PayPal is not a bank and not bound by typical banking laws.

    It shouldn't be a problem to take your money out. I've transferred up to $10,000.00 at a time out of my paypal with no issues.

    If you are getting floods of payments though and your account isn't fully verified or you have high refund rates paypal can and most likely WILL freeze your account and keep your money. It's happened to many business partners of mine and it sucks! Just be careful with paypal because you're not fully in control with them

      Why don't you ask PayPal? People here can tell you their stories of what has happened to them but everyone's account history is unique to them and can't be applied to you.

      If PayPal tell you that they can't see a problem then, well... you don't have a problem.

    If I were you, I would withdraw this amount to my local Bank account from the PAYPAL. Mostly the PAYPAL is used to fund transfer only. No one keep this huge amount of money in this account. Thanks for understanding.

    Are you okay?

      That statement may apply to you, but it may not necessarily be true for other vendors.

      Some vendors pay that amount and more in mass payments to affiliates alone,
      (via Paypal) especially during a launch. Payments which come from the funds in a PayPal account.

      Also advertising budgets, and other larger payments that may come straight out of a Paypal account.

      There are many more reasons as to why I don't see why 18k sitting in a Paypal account is a topic here.

      That should be as much of a worry as 18k sitting in your bank. But I guess "PayPal horror Stories" have something to do with it.

    Just like I said in the $500K a month post, if it all comes very quick and your account is new they're going to be asking questions. Be prepared to send over all your formal business paperwork, but the review process should be pretty easy as long as you're selling legit products.

    If you're doing a product launch, I would recommend using Stripe or another payment processor as a backup. This way, the people who want to pay with credit card can use that, while still giving the option of the PayPal account. This helps you diversify incase your capital would be frozen during an investigation period.

    Also note, if you're selling some items such as software, PayPal may hold up to 50% of the purchase price for a couple of months until you "prove yourself" so to speak.

      BEWARE........... All merchant accounts are subject to being held for any lame reason they want to use. especially Paypal which I had a war with which took over six months to resolve, and to be clear, it was not an issue on my part, it was a bogus complaint from scammer, so lesson learned, I keep as little as possible in any merchant accounts, and if you are smart, and have to connect a bank account to Paypal, which is typical, make sure you don't connect your main business account, use a secondary or even a third, for if you read the small print, they can tap into your bank account at will, so BEWARE.

      Success to all,

    I would communicate with PayPal and tell them about this. Just know that you might have some issues with clearing those funds and getting it withdrawn to your bank account.

    Agree 100% Arnold.

    In fact, instead of withdrawing monies immediately as many suggest, I typically let it sit and withdraw only as necessary.

    Think about it... why would Paypal get anxious if your withdrawal habits are relaxed, if they can see that you only withdraw funds as needed (rather than all at once, immediately), if you regularly use monies in your Paypal account to fund your own online purchases?

    If the monies are coming from Google (YouTube), they're going to immediately be more comfortable. They are already pretty well convinced that Google is not laundering money via Paypal.

    If you are dealing in that type of money then you should have paypal payments pro with gateway. you actually access this from a different paypal domain. it is https://manager.paypal.com/. My eccommerce site has used this for years with no problems. You get an account manager to help with any issues you might have.

    Most paypal nightmares stem from people using personal accounts to do large transactions. Treat your business like a business and get the proper accounts

    The only thing i can think of is that... when you deposit $8,000(or more), the bank has to report your deposit and earnings to the IRS (or something like that). But almost all merchant accounts have its so-called "flaws". Gotta roll with the punches. Pick the one that works best for your business and that doesn't interfere with your sales.
