About Paypal limited accounts

Hello guys!

For example, if I want to withdraw $20,000 in my Paypal balance, is there a big chance that they will hit the "Limited Access" button to my account? Few years ago, I have been limited twice due to unauthorized access and resolve it with some scanned documents. After that until now, my account was not limited.

I'm just concerned if this happens to us who have bigger amounts in Paypal, and it can hold funds for up to 180 days. Thanks in advance!

NOTE: I don't have $20k, just an example.

    The withdraw wouldn't be what sets it off, usually odd purchases does.

      An automatic switch is only supposedly tripped if there's a sudden unexpected change in your transaction trend.

      Therefore it's not technically related to the sum of money, rather the way in which you acquired it and (when there is manual intervention by PayPal)- what exactly you acquired it for.

      This will then determine risk factor and will dictate whether a person is eligible for immediate account unlock or whether they'll be dragged through the 6 month wait (to secure against refund request / chargeback) that we've all grown to know and love.

  • I agree. It has nothing to do with the amount but how you were able to get the amount. A big sum of money usually raise a lot of questions

    I agree with daniel evans, the transaction pattern and frequency are the factors that most finance companies will require further documents to determine and scrutinize if the transactions are legitimate or not this is what the AMLA law requires for most finance companies. but if you can show proof of the legitimacy of your transaction then I see no problem, just keep and scan all your documents.
