Selling valuable items on eBay. Will I have issues with PayPal?

I recently created a PayPal/eBay stealth account. It's been 15 days since it's been created and I already maxed out my selling limit (10 sales) and I received 5 positive feedbacks.

This is my question. I have a brand new Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga that's worth about 3000$ CAD.
Since my eBay limit is 1000$ I have no choice but to put it as an auction next month which is fine with me.

My main concern is that once the auction is done and the buyer pays for it PayPal will limit my account because it's a large amount of money.

Will PayPal just ask for documents (I'm willing to pay for fake docs) and then release the money or do they keep the money for 180 days in this type of situation?

If anyone can help me out here I'd appreciate it. I tried selling the laptop locally without success.

Any suggestions?

PayPal is a nightmare! Few time ago I use to do arbitrage between French craiglist and ebay ( mean no invoice) buying playstation 3 and Nintendo Dsi
Had my account locked 3 times ( asked me for documents) in row...
For the documents I made them myself:
Take any Amazon invoice and just change it to fit your product.

I stopped doing my arbitrage business because an another stupid paypal rule!
Customer can open a dispute 180 days after purchase....what the F!!! It s 6 month, alf year!!! Get scammed like this, after 6 month ( the 179 days) he opened a disput because malfunctioning ps3....and get a full refund by paypal!
 
No as long as your account isn't brand new and the contact details are correct. You'll be fine.
 
15 day is too new, you should warm up your new account with small amount first.
