PayPal Restrictions?

Hi

I am curious to know is it possible that PayPal will close my account if I only transfers money from bank to PayPal and constantly shifting back and forth. I don't want to use that account to receive external payments. :rolleyes:

Why you are transferring bank money to paypal and then again back it to your bank account? PayPal will consider your activities as sign of money laundering, which is illegal, and will close your account.

Well I hope that they will not close your account as your policy is to transfer the money as soon as it come into the PayPal account to your business bank account.

As he mentioned he is planning to shift funds from bank to Paypal and then shift back it again to bank account, will sounds like fishy and will consider as trying to mess up the things.

If you have a concern issue regarding to your PayPal account, better way you contact them and explain your actual intent. Without discussing such kind of issue with them you will be marked as laundering money, if you are shifting money back and forth.

Hi guys, is there a way to claim a paypal money without a paypal account? I am a newbie in the e-store industry. I bought something from ebay but i was not too happy with what i got so i asked the seller for a refund. He said that he is going to send me money through paypal which got me thinking if that was for real or not, because i have not mentioned anything about a paypal account.

I think it is usual, as most of the ebay seller assume that their customers are familiar with operating PayPal accounts so you don't need to suspect him.

What you need to do, open a PayPal account to receive your refund money or tell that seller to send your refunds through bank wire transfer.
