Hey, I ran into a problem where PayPal put limits on my sales (like, $100 a month max, and if I go over, they’ll hold any extra payments for 21 days). It’s super annoying! I can ask for a limit increase, but they shot down my last request, and I can’t try again for 30 days (and who knows if they’ll even consider it). What should I do? Right now, the only thing I thought of is making a few PayPal accounts and warming them up to boost the limit and make more profit from them. So, hypothetically, with 10 accounts, there would be a total limit of $1,000 per month, with a certain chance of increasing the limits.
 
Usually if you go to their help section, you'll see the requirements needed to meet

I sell digital goods, so I cannot add tracking. In other words, the requirements only apply to the sale of physical goods.
 
limit stacking like that can work but u gotta warm em slow n rotate ip + device clean. one slip n they’ll chain ban the whole batch. better to mix in alt processors too so u not boxed in. don’t put all eggs in paypal’s hands.

Buy a stealth account with UBO nominee (stripe,paypal biz,sumup) - it's workable
 
It seems that you don't know how to use Paypal. It's better to rent one. If not, all your money will be held for 21 even 180 days.
 
have you submit your GOV ID to paypal?
 
For digital goods, focus on fast delivery, clear order notes, and avoiding disputes. The more successful transactions you complete, the more likely PayPal is to trust your account and gradually lift limits or reduce holds
 
Keep selling, avoid refunds and disputes, they will eventually raise your limit. It happened to me as well, they rejected all my requests, but after some weeks they finally removed those annoying limits

I'm experiencing the same issue right now, since two months, I've been requesting an increase in the threshold limit but it's always ignored, knowing that I made more than 3K USD in this PP, with zero refunds.... My threshold now is only 300 USD

Sorry for your issue, if you don't have any disputes or refunds, you are in the right path, I hope they will eventually remove those limits or at least increase them, but unfortunately we are totally dependent on them, it's their decision

Hopefully, one day a decent alternative will take PayPal's place.

Right we are eagerly waiting for this but its not coming. We need alternative to paypal and stripe. There are some alternatives but those are not good enough.

Yeah, I get that, but honestly I think it’s nearly impossible, especially with PayPal. In most buyers’ minds, PayPal is the safest option. You just can’t change that perception easily. It’s hard to make them understand that it’s actually the seller who gets all the trouble with this platform.

Just imagine, really, just imagine, if all sellers started using the same payment method, a real alternative to PayPal. One that actually favors the seller more than the buyer (not saying scammers would go unpunished, of course). In that case, buyers would have no choice but to create an account with that platform if they really want the product. The power dynamic would shift, even just a little.

I'm considering using PayPal for a digital business in 2026. Will this still be happening? What are the limitations? My account was created in 2010

I am in search of a paypal renting service. Specifically to accept G&S payments ranging from $100-$500 each, very low to zero dispute rate. I see many people here saying to "just use a paypal rental service", but I never see a listing or a link, or any further guidance beyond the suggestion.

I'm also looking for a service to rent funds through PayPal. Specifically, I need a service that accepts payments between $1,500 and $5,000, with a very low or zero dispute rate.
