This is the 2016 Master thread for the "All Things Paypal" thread. The previous 2013-2014 megathread is here. The previous 2015 megathread is here.

Paypal MyCash $500 daily load limit resets after 12:00am EST
UPDATE: Reports are that it now resets at 3:00 AM EST (12:00 AM PST)
Paypal MyCash $4000 per calendar month load limit resets after 3:00am EST
An additional $4000 per month can be loaded using Greendot Moneypaks. See the Moneypak thread for issues with these. Limit purchases to no more than 2 x $500 at a time.
To get a live PayPal MyCash representative, call 1-855-721-5035, press 1 to all the voice prompts until it asks you for your PIN, and then press 0#, 0#, and 0#.
If you are getting error code 26 when loading MyCash to your account:1.Login to Paypal on a computer, not phone
2.Go to settings (it is the gear)
3.Choose selling tools on the left
4.Scroll down to: Block payments -- Limit payments, add instructions, and more -- and choose update
5.On the page "Payment Receiving Preferences" select the first radio button, "For the items not sold on eBay, Only allow payments from the users with confirmed address."
6.Be sure that NO is chosen
7.Save and you are done
Also - if you wait 30 minutes between purchase and loading, this usually avoids the loading error (some type of fraud control)
Activity Leading to Shutdown
- $1-2k PPMC Loads, Serve Withdrawls and some small Debit card transactions
- $4k/month PPMC loads to accounts A/B/C, let fund sit for a few days, transfer all to account D, let funds sit for a few says, ACH full $12k. Account D also used for normal (but infrequent) PP activity. Continued for about 6 months until received warning emails on all 4 accounts.

mmk332, indeed while we are always at risk of shutdown, let me offer a counter experience. I've been using RadPad for about ten months straight, and still going strong. Here's my user profile.
* load about US$1500-2000 per month with PPMC bought with CC
* pay my rent (> US$1000) with PPBDMC on file at RadPad. Get 1% cashback!
* regular debit transactions at pharmacies which includes cash back. Variable, anywhere from 3-7 transactions a week.
* occasional debit transactions at food stores
* occasional credit transactions at food/local establishments
* occasional online purchases
* rare loads to BB (3-4 a year, haven't done any this year)
* PayPal account is over 10 years old
I will keep knocking on wood and hope that I am perceived by PayPal to be a valued customer. I hope that I act like a valued customer, at least!

I have seen people complaining about shut down with 1k-1.5k PPMC monthly load, but the real reason was they have used CC to back funding. Many people have commented that CC back funding is much worse than PPMC.
If people used bank fund to pay RadPad with PPBDMC and still being shut down, then I think you can say PayPal is red flagging RadPad payment.

PP Debit Card--->Serve Loads
Does loading Serve with PPDC get you shut down?
Also, can you load $200 with AMEX credit card + $200 with debit card in the same day?
Or is it only $200 total, meaning I would have to alternate load days (credit card vs debit card loads)?
TIA^

Let's say I just loaded $500 of PPMC into my account. Let's also say that I just withdrew $2000 from Kiva. The $2000 hit my account after the $500 was added.
Can I transfer that $2000 to my bank account? Or will a bank transfer anger the PayPal dragon, given that there are PPMC funds in the account?

Kind of lame that apparently the mere use of PPMC cards "taints" the PayPal account.

with recent developments of am3x prepaid shutdowns, you'll be fortunate if you're not shutdown after the 3rd month. there is no activity that is safe, just be prepared for shutdown at anytime after your 3rd month.
if you start loading serve online next month and get the dreaded message, that's how you know your time is up.

If you're using funds loaded from a bank account, payees, or some other "normal" source, then PayPal will almost definitely not shut you down.
If you load using funds from My Cash, then PayPal is significantly more likely to shut you down.
If you do "suspicious" activity with Serve, then they will shut you down. No one is quite sure of what "suspicious" activity entails, but one belief is that online debit card loads constitutes a form of suspicious activity.
