Certainly seems to be the case. Went to the RA by my home, same cashier as two days ago, rang me through no problem.

But I tried last week with another cashier (he's always not smiling but dutifully just rings up whatever purchases) and he sold the US$500 PPMC via my CC purchase without even blinking.
A week or so before, I didn't have any problems at a different RA buying just one PPMC.
So it doesn't seem hard-coded in the registers yet. Individuals may try to stop you by their discretion by policy. I hope this doesn't spread.

Slow but steady PP spender, trying to accelerate
I try to be seen as a good PayPal customer. So far I've only been running 1K/month (2x PPMC @500 each). I buy these at RA.
My cashout method: slow, but legitimate: using the PP business debit card, I buy a few everyday items and then always add a US$40 cashback. I only do this once daily at a RA, and perhaps a CVS, but never at the same store brand in the same day. This means only US$80 cashback daily. At the end of the week, I deposit the gathered cash so I can pay off some of my credit card bill.
I never do cash ATM withdrawals from my PP account. Ever. It's hard for me to get to WM, Target, or chain stores like that so I don't do the PO thing. I have BB but not Serve.
Any suggestions to accelerate my liquidation? I'm sure PayPal sees me as super legitimate (never got a warning e-mail and don't ever want to see one) though my method is just too SLOW. Maybe PayPal --> BB? What is a good method to do this?

I assume you're already using the PP card to load to BB as a debit card? I have this card as well, and with the amount of real spending you're doing, I think it's safe to occasionally transfer some to your bank account. I've done numerous transfers to my bank account (always $200-700) mixed in with real spend.

Honestly, I forgot about the PP business debit --> BB. I thought there were fees involved though it seems they did away with those fees some time ago. Looks to be 100/day with 1000/month limit. I should try it. Does PayPal get mad if you transfer 1K/month out of the account like that to BB? I don't want any angry e-mails and threats of shutdown!
I load $2500/mo, ship $1500 to my softcard serve via PPBDC and then $1000 via money order for rent. Hoping staying under the 4k limit will keep me off the radar, but I'm not optimistic....

Personally it's not worth my time to be buying things I can use my CC on anyways to liquidate $40-$60 at a time.

it is all depend on the cashier. I usually only go to my local RA at Saturday Morning since the cashier will sell me anything if system allow. A few other cashiers will only sell me one VGC, pp cash each time. Some cashiers will reject me everything ( VGC, PP cash, or mp)
