I have a Paypal business and personal account. Would I be able to load $500 each day to each account ($1000 daily total)? Would Paypal flag this?

It'll all depend on activities in your account. If you have various activities going on in each account, very little chance you'll trip the alarm but if you're just putting in $ via PPMC and then w/d to your bank account, that is the quickest way to sound the alarm bells.

paypal reloadable prepaid mastercard
I apologize if this has been asked before. I didn't find in wiki and didn't find anything when I searched.
Last time I purchased these when CVS had a deal for $50 extrabucks after purchasing a paypal reloadable prepaid mastercard.
I found some at a local gas stations and activation fee is $4.95 but max load is $899.
Can these be purchased with CC and used to load at Kate?
ps, trying to diversify

Tried to search flyertalk, google & bing without success, so here goes...
I recently went shopping for a PayPal My Cash Card in Oakland, CA. I tried CVS, Rite Aid & Walgreen's. None carry the product. Any idea where else to try (7-11?)?

Most CVS and Rite Aids carry the product (at least in the South Bay and peninsula). It could just be that they were out when u checked.

I had something odd happen to me today. I have loaded $2,000 this month so far. I went to load another $500, but it said that I had already loaded $500 today, which I had not. It also showed my monthly load limit at $1,500 (should be $2,000). Anyone else experience this before?

Ok got the boot from PP and now my account is limited with $8xx in account! Usual loading pattern via PPMC $1500-$2000 every month and unloading via serve ($1500) plus couple of transactions (< $5 each month) on misc purchase. I don't care about account resurrection, I just need to know if I can get my money back without wasting my time over the phone and listening to their BS. I can wait 180 days if that means I don't have to play call me game with PP. or DO I have to start talking to them, will it expedite the refund process.

from what I've read, 180 days or 6 months is the average time people have gotten their funds back but you can always try reporting to CFPB to help you since FDIC may not work because pp is not a bank.

by limited, do you mean your account is still open or is it frozen so you can't add or move $$ out? Sorry to hear you didn't even get a warning letter but just booted out by surprise?!

I'll have to be careful with my own activity (similar pattern, but with a little more spending from PP account). So far, no letter.

I have this pattern on this account (mind you this account is under different person name in my Household) for the last 3-4 months. Before I was loading $4K and unloading it via serve/WM BP or MO plus some purchases (less than $5-10) per month. Got an email warning back in Nov, 14 (I stopped loading full $4k, I think in Sept, 14).

I received this email today:
"We like to keep things safe and secure, including your PayPal account. To do this, we regularly check the activity on our customers’ accounts. We’re not sure you’re aware but it appears the Green Dot MoneyPak and MyCash have been used for deposits to your PayPal account, and then those deposits have been withdrawn. The Green Dot MoneyPak and the MyCash feature are for making deposits to your PayPal account for retail purchases. If we continue to see this activity of using the Green Dot MoneyPaks and the MyCash with your PayPal account for cash withdrawals, we may have to limit or close your PayPal account. If you think we’ve made an error, here's how to contact us."
I was sending money to my relative's account and then withdrawing.
What options do I have now? Is it safe to use PPDC to buy WM-MOs?
What if I close my PP account and open another one?

Be careful with MS activities with Paypal. None of these methods is safe: send to friends, purchase MOs or serve/BB loads. If you still decide to do this, remember to keep your balance low in case they decide to put permanent limitation on your account. The account limitation is non-appeal-able. They will hold your money for 180 days. The agent I talked to said that no agent could help me in this case. I will get a paper check sent to my address after 180 days.
