how much is safe to have in paypal?

Don't keep more than $200. Just in case for refunds. You do not want withdraw money from your bank account to a stealth paypal.
 
I must say this, I am glad paypal is so secure, I wouldnt want anohter person to take my money or steal it.

THey limited my account before. But I send them docs and everthing was fine. I usually keep max 2k and then withdraw. Paypal is not a bank, you should withdraw money to you bank pronto
 
Hello,

Why will you keep a penny in your paypal ? since you can attach your credit card and bank account to make payments ?

PayPal was never been safe for merchants,
 
Paypal is not a bank they are a corporation. I would keep over 1k in there. Get out while you can.
 
But yeh good point, you'll earn interest if it's in your bank account rather than paypal! Even if you do work on ebay you surely don't have a cashflow of 10k daily? If so then get it onto a business account!
 
They never limited my account. But I also never have any $ on them. Once I get a payment, I withdraw. And after reading all these stories, I am glad I did. Never thought it would be this bad...
 
The risk basically depends on how you setup your account.
Remember, they can lock you even if the person you transact with is bad.
So if you gave them good address and bank account while setting up paypal, they will ask you for proof on those when they lock you.
If you can provide that, I think you are safe.

But if you dont that much in paypal, you should routinely withdraw it.... dont do it all together. Do a very small amount first... let paypal see yo withdraw with no problem, and then you can ramp up the amount slowly.
 
I withdraw all monies from paypal the minute they hit my account. Too many bad experiences, even with legit and verified business accounts.
 
Nothing is safe to keep in gaypal. they suck dick. dicks. lots of them. bitchesl....
 
never keep more than $500... too risky even with a totally legit account
 
I'd switch it to a business account and keep $50 in it max!
 
Yeah I wouldn't go above $500 in paypal - got limited once and lost 200$ lol. But I think it is possible to get money out though, by "refunding."
 
i too think the same... having more than 250$ is not good, Paypal can Screw you any time :)
