Title: Paypal limit
Post by: Pure Glass on January 04, 2013, 11:59:53 am
Ive just finished sorting out a bit of a problem with Paypal

If you pay in over £1900 in a calender year, they automatically put a stop on your account until you can provide them with a range of information including details on partnerships, incorporated dates, etc

This is because they act as a bank and have to comply with EU law

What was a real kicker for me was that this happened on the 27th December and so i couldnt get to the £70 in the account

I still can not see why anyone would want to use Paypal for payment. Until December I traded online and always resented Paypal fees. I used a mecrchantacount on my website which was much cheaper. What is wrong with bank transfer? It is free!

Why do you suppose it is Paypal fees or collect? I don't collect. Never have. Nor do I pay Paypal fees or SAEs. Cash, cheque or bank transfer. That's three payment options. Quite enough I think.
