I should have full access and all I am allowed is 1K total. This is messed up!!!

Has anyone called about the reset and was it resolved?

No way I'm calling. If you want eyes on your account, be my guest. I'll wait it out.

On an aside - I ran into the failed purchase of an OV at 7-11 after 1 approved sale of an OV. In the end, it looked like a charge and a charge back - and who cares, other than the auth hit to my CL. But there is a clear auth and then a clear negative auth in the temp charges.

Load, liquidate via $1,000 MOs at WM, rinse and repeat...

If you do a lot then that makes sense but that carries some risk like the recent US Bank closure thread. But if you only do, say $2000/month wouldn't that be the safest way?

That US Bank thread makes no sense. I would take it with a grain of salt. The only safe way with PP MyCash is to liquidate via purchases, such as MO. Transferring between accounts or withdrawing from the same account leads to account closure.

What about 1-way transfers ie. A--> B and that's it? Haven't heard many reports of shutdowns for that

Has anyone called PP today to find out the latest status on the limits not resetting for the month of July?

I called PP my cash first, they transferred me to PP. PP looked at my account said the system didn't reset the limit, wait a bit more, then transferred me back to PP my cash. Have the limit at $0 still.

It sounds like from the posts here the resetting issue is affecting everyone, if not the majority of PP users. My take? Just wait it out and see when the resolution is.

I guess I should hold off on buying reloads. I was looking forward to my reset (due tomorrow) so as to get a little break from my OV-MO routine.

Not the best idea ever. They gave me the third degree, but eventually lifted restrictions after a lengthy discussion.

If possible, I would stick with personal accounts. Really wonder how I could get my personal account re-verified

I have been having the same issues as everybody with the reset count. The other thing I noticed was the cashback amount on my ppdebit biz. I made at least 100 bucks in signature transactions. They did not give me the 1%. Things seem a bit funky right now with the ppdebit biz.

Can anyone provide a quick process flow of the easiest way to take advantage of this?

Is it buy a reload/VGC card/paypal mycash card --> load into paypal --> withdraw into bank account?

Im also seeing western union xfers and dont understand where that fits above. Thanks!

I live in NYC so MS/giftcard purchases with credit cards may be slim.
