I have an unverified personal PayPal account (no cards or banks linked) with a fake address, name etc. for the sake of accepting anonymous payments/privacy. I send that money from the fake account to my real and verified account. I don't move more than on average 500$ a month.

Yesterday I had a guy send me 100$ and PayPal says the money has been received but pending, and I'm thinking they want to manually verify this transaction. I feel like at this point both of my accounts are at risk of being frozen and I have a decent amount of funds on my verified account that I don't want frozen.

Is there a way to bypass the freeze, or should I just liquidate all my funds now before PayPal reviews the transaction. Not sure what looks more suspicious lol. I don't care if they freeze the account I just wanna save my money at this point.

Not sure if I'm overreacting and maybe it's just an echeck that needs to clear from the sender's bank but better safe than sorry I guess? It's the weekend so I don't have much time before they get to it.

Yes, that is normal to happen to accounts that did not receive large payments before. Paypal does this for security reasons. Your money will be available in like a week.
 
It happens to everyone.

They will approve the money after 2 weeks if my memory is good.

I've received much higher payments on there before though, and it never happened before though.

Right but would they not flag my profile for sending money constantly to my verified account? If obviously looks shady.
 
If the buyers pay with credit cards it's probably going pending for a while before they are done checking the transaction.

He paid with his bank account linked to PayPal. And if they check this transaction would they not also flag my profile or freeze it since it's obviously being used suspiciously?
 
New account , just don't rush the account , let it be aged mate !

If he pays with his bank account then usually there is no checking needed, I have in some recent past receive some payments pending for a day at most, it happens just because they are reviewing the transaction.

You should know the reason the payment pending by the email they sent you. You can't miss this.

Right what I'm trying to say is that if they review the transaction then my accounts are at risk of being frozen because I technically am using a fake account which is against their policy. I fear having my funds on both my accounts (which are associated through transfers) frozen.

If your main paypal only source of incoming funds are from this fake account then you may have a legit reason to fear for this, but if you have transaction in and out from other paypal on your main paypal I think you can just shrug this off...

I do have other sources but 80% of the incoming funds are from this fake account so I do believe I should be worried, hence why I'm asking if I should liquidate my funds from my main account immediately!
 
Paypal always specify for how long they'll hold the money and why!
 
You can try this ask the sender if he's shown the option on the transaction page to confirm the receipt.
If so he will have to hit confirm button.

He mentioned to me that when he made the payment PayPal asked him for some verification information, it was a personal transaction not a business one.

That's normal happens sometimes mostly is cases where the sender is sending frequently to one user.

He did send 3 transactions, 2 were of 10$. But I'm still wondering whether or not I should liquidate my funds from my main account as the review will definitely reveal a suspicious use of my accounts.
 
I do not think you should, if you do it would be more suspicious I would say.

Only thing I did is go on a pretty large shopping spree yesterday to at least liquidate 30% of the funds lol at least I'll have some nice things

Honestly I would not want to keep anything on PayPal, the risk now is too much with so many PayPal scam around, just check this forum alone you can see so many PayPal banned thread opened up just recently.
