Can I use my PPBDC to make online debit loads to my BB and my other family members' BBs, or does BB not allow that and/or will that raise red flags with PP?

Paypal to Serve
I think the names have to match on both sides. I did it yesterday PPDBC to Serve $500. No issue. And $200 on my SO account.

yes 7/11 has a "wait" period. I was confused a few months ago, because the terminal states "approved" and within 2 seconds it comes back with a denial. I once called CC and they stated they are approving the charges, but 7/11 is denying it. So I go a few days later. Don't know the time limit to wait.

In my experimentation, more than 20 mins, less than 2hrs.
Does anybody have more details about this wait period. I walked into -4 today and took a PP Cash card to register. Cashier allowed me to use cc and I swiped. It said approve on screen but then system immediately cancelled the transaction. From other people' reports, this is a -4 issue. I tried again and same thing happened. If my first attempt was rejected and there's a timer before the next transaction can go through, does that necessarily mean someone bought one of these cards <2 hours before I did? I'm skeptical because the cashier initially told me that they don't take cc before I was able to convince him. If someone bought one shortly before me, he should've known that cc is accepted.

In my experience with 7/11, if you are not getting the CC approval first, then a denial, it probably means that this 7/11 doesn't accept CC for the PP card. The clerks are usually brain dead anyway and can't tell you anything. Try another store.

I have had my PayPal account for approximately 12 years. I usually make purchases on Ebay and they use my Paypal to pay for these items.
Last week, I purchased a $500.00 PayPal mycash card (first time) with a CC. Loaded and made a few small purchases, the largest of which was $50.00.
If I withdraw $400.00, am I sending up a red flag? What is the criteria to avoid shutdown? I don't want to get shut down. Any info is appreciated. I've skimmed the thread, and I see that shutdown is common for new accounts. But since I've had mine for so long, is any danger?

Point is, I've also had the account for about 12 years, the last 4 pretty much quiet, zero activity. I didn't want to ramp up all of a sudden with My Cash and withdrawals since the account had been quiet and the PPBDC was new. PayPal seems to go after the accounts that load and unload but who knows? I won't keep anything in there that can't sit on a shelf for 6 months. So far, so good. Good luck.
