I have received two warnings in the past two months. None worded with Walmart. All I do is online Serve loads for $500.00 I like this card but wont be upset if they shut me down.

So I received the dreaded email. I have loaded and unloaded approx 13K since August. I have never withdrawn to a bank account only to Serve. I was under the impression from previous posts that they did not mind this. Has anyone continued paypal my cash activity after the email or do you just let this avenue go?
I did my regular loads for both Nov and Dec with no issues. That involves loading 3 accounts, then sending from B and C into A. In A I withdraw to checking account in the amounts sent from B & C and also use the PPMC for MOs at Walmart. I also pay my rent by sending from A.
I've been doing this since April.

I received the email on all 3 of my accounts on Oct 14.

I can't imagine you'll survive for any extended period of time with that strategy. I for one would very much appreciate the data points if you could remember to post back here periodically about your progress.

You do realize if they shut you down, they will hold onto all the $$ thats in your acct for 6 months. Its not simply OK goodbye we dont want to do biz with you any longer. Unknown is if they can reverse any outgoing transaction eg you just did #8 and sent out $4000 the next day they shut youd own , are they are able to stop the transfer. loading $500 and immediately sending it out will only grab their attention but will limit any damage

Anyone know if you can load Serve with a PPBDMC? I did it for a small amount and went through OK. Wondering if I can do this for larger amounts ($200 per day, $1,000 per month). Would certainly save me some trips to Walmart.

This is what I've done for about 5 or 6 months until I got THE email. I've never withdrawn money to my bank account, only did BB loads in addition to occasional spending with DC and eBay and other online purchases. I usually loaded $2000 to $2500 to my PP account which was then loaded to two BB accounts with two separate DCs. This is my long time PP account linked to my eBay buying/ selling account.

the key to the closed down is do you use your PP acct many times for buying and selling. if you do then they may restrict you acct. If however its almost all load and send out to your bank or friend then most likely if you step on their toes they will shut you down completely from PP, the warning email is basically saying should you reload your PP acct using MyCash again = goodbye
it seems the My Cash dept has different T&Cs then PP or the PPDC, and each dept has no idea what the other is up to. the warning emails come from the Risk(Compiance) Dept and theres no way for any of us to contact them directly, so when they do something its pretty much written in stone. they dont any facts if it looks like a duck to them then its a duck even thou it has a set of horns on it and no feathers and feet arent webbed
So walk very carefully and if you got that email Isay its best to find another game to play

Did you load $300 Serve at Walmart? Is this new cash from MyCash, or whatever was in your account?

Got email on a paypal account that was ONLY used for signature purchases (ppmc -> redbird). Humorously, the email mentions walmart and I've never made a SINGLE purchase there with the card. Debit and signature purchases are both flags. I truly thought the signature purchases would have been fine. I'd love to hear a trick that helps keep them off your back.
