I got a shutdown email from Paypal yesterday morning. This account has been opened since June of 2023. The only thing that has changed is that I got a Paypal Synchorny card about a month ago. However, they would have just shut down the card and not the entire Paypal account if it was that. It’s most likely that I was doing about $4-5K a week paying bills and in the last week I went up to $110K. After so many Paypal shutdowns, I knew in the back of my head this was a real possibility but decided to do it anyway.
Lessons learned here – I should have spread out the activity over mulitple Paypal accounts. And of course, SLOWLY RAMP! Anyone know if you can link the same target in a new account or will that get shut down too?
Is there an advantage to using paypal this heavily? Going over 100k in a week is just asking to get flagged cuz of all their fraud risk checks. They’ve always shut down any multiple accounts i create as well — my bad though i used fake names lol, i don’t mess with paypal after they refused to let me withdraw my $50 in one of them.
