It is only a matter of time before any deals get out into the open. Not even the mobs can keep their business private anymore when it is in human nature to share information.
Rule number 1, is don't expect anything to last forever, and most of all, know of possible AA.
Much like someone might be stuck with amex gift cards, you may get your paypal account shut down.
For most folks, getting shut down by paypal can be disastrous. Not only are you out of money for 6 months, but not being able to use paypal, for legit business might be a cut to income and incurred expenses.

Anyone following the SilkRoad trial knows you are never truly anonymous.

Anyone not using some variation of this technique clearly isn't trying.

Agreed. Somebody else mentioned this being a full time paycheck for them, so clearly it can be very successful. But it would be useful to know how to be a good steward of the method to keep it off radar screens.

I think 150K is too high. 150K is in the Amex Old BC territory. Paypal is very sensitive to large spending, so I doubt if the OP is saying the truth.

Honestly, I would think Paypal IS would do a better job than allowing such loop to exist in the 1st place.

For some reason this method brings back memories of the Nordstrom FW CB method.

Anyone claiming to use this method via PayPal in large amounts is lying. Nobody is "making a living" doing this. Pure e-peen.
PayPal's algorithm for backup funding is extremely complex and it doesn't work every time (even if all other indications show that it should work). No way in hell you can piggyback multiple accounts and have a remote possibility that it will work once, let alone on a continual basis.
Give me a break.

PP has been friendly to me since 2001. But this new HELLO method seems too risky for a potentially short term loophole. Keep in mind that PP is mainstream product and getting shut down by PP is the end. There's no other product like PP as an alternative.
