Trying to avoid loading and bank withdrawing in same account. Maybe it is a not a good idea. 2 out of the 4 max out the monthly load limit.

Paypal requested many information that is not related to this case like the tracking number of shipment, order confirmation etc. In my case, it is sending fund to family's account to cover some expenses. Also this account is new, less than a month.

In this case, can I explain that this is money transfer to family member for their expenses?

Thanks.

Were you doing this to increase the amount you can load using MyCash cards? Did those accounts all maxed their monthly load?

If you have reasons to send money, such as paying back expenses and stuff, then tell that to PayPal.

Its pretty well documented here that these types of transactions are risky with paypal. I would do whatever you need to do to try and get your account freed up then stay away from them.

Thank you for sharing. I was tempted to do the same sending of money, but then I thought about it a bit. If the receiving account already loaded to the max, and the sending account is also funding via MyCash loads, would this look like an attempt to bypass their limit? Would this look like money laundering?

Many folks here tries to milk various avenues to the max. The way to stay in this game is to always leave a bit of headroom, and stay below the radar.

Let us know if Paypal would accept your explanations!

How are people still posting in this forum that they need help after they tried to liquidate the fund by sending their money to a bank account? These forums are painted with posts saying not to do this lol.

Personally I use it to load my serve account, and that's about it. If I really wanted I could do money order's but I don't want to push my luck with Paypal.

You can load AFT, Visa Buxx and Bill Pay to name a few other methods.

I loaded 4k on my new Paypal Business Debit Card. Two weeks later I went to WM and purchased a $1k money order. I tried to purchase another one and it didn't work.

Next day, purchased a $1k MO at WM. Tried to purchase a second MO and it didn't go through.

The next day, I tried to purchase a $1k MO at WM and it didn't work.

Has anyone else experienced this?

What are you using to purchase the MO or loading BB?

Paypal Business Debit Card

When I load mycash packs to my account, I notice there's a "hold" that appears for the amount of my next large purchase, even though the purchase itself is approved. That may be what's interfering with subsequent large purchases.

I see the hold after every MO purchase but I also see it removed. I think it's removed once the pin is entered.

I have a problem. I can load Paypal My Cash cards to my Paypay Business Debit Card but I CANNOT use it to purchase MO's at WM. I have before, but it's not working now for some reason. I don't want to call for obvious reasons. Any advice? Thank you.

Test using the card elsewhere to troubleshoot the issue?

Weird experience this month with one of my PP accounts (non-business) and PPMCs. Monthly limit shows typical $4K, but after loading $3K I noticed it showed my remaining limit as $1500. Sure enough, I was able to load $4500 this month. Not exactly sure where the count got off. Anybody else ever experience this? I am curious as to cause and whether or not it is repeatable (I.e. exploitable).

Yes I experienced this as well. I was curious about that as well and wondering if others had the same thing. I just finished my last $500 load for the month today so I have loaded $4K so far and today it said I had $500 remaining for load limit which would equate to $4.5K for the month if I did it. So something is rather strange about it. Not sure if I should take advantage of it.

Hi quick ?...

Has anyone seen the supply of PPMC cards dwindle then disappear at their local spot of choice? The tag is still on the rack, they just don't get any more for months. I've asked the clerks a few times when they will get more and they say something like, maybe on the truck next week or some such, but the rack has been barren for months. Is there an outside vendor that stocks all the racks? Any success asking a manager to order more? Rather reluctant to ask them...
