I see a lot of people encountering this nowadays, even when the transaction is legit. Happens even when both receiver and sender accounts are aged/verified. Has anyone found any workaround/fix?

Nope, to some accounts the payment goes through no problem, to some accounts it gives this error no matter if amount is 1$ or 100$. Has started happening around January
I guess we chalk that up to the flaws that Paypal are famous for and have been messing with us for as long as it has been around.
 
I know it sucks to read /hear what I'm about to say but...
My advice to everyone is to STOP USING PAYPAL!

It's a serious douchbag corporation who's excutives support authoritarian regulations.
Plus, a large part of their yearly profit comes from money that they effectively steal from their users. (Ie: Oh you might have purchased something we don't like so we're keeping your money)
 
that's interesting I haven't see that, we use ours for all kinds of vendors worldwide, and accept payments. Anyone try calling in to ask?
 
Not new, but annoying as hell. I've had these both ways as well as frozen accounts on numerous occassions for large txs going back to 2006. All fully legit, but they assumed it was nefarious and held me hostage just in case. TBF, it's not at all exclusive to PP. Lots of merchant accounts and banks do the same thing w/ no transparency under the umbrella of anti-money laundering laws.

Definitely new-ish, started happening at beginning of this year. It's also absolutely random. Some people can send ok, some can't at all, doesn't matter if they've been using their account constantly or haven't touched it for months. Doesn't matter if their account is verified or not, just seems completely random.

I think it's exclusive to friends&family payments, if you do goods&services only it might be ok. Calling them is utter useless, they just advise you yo 'wait 24/48 hours before trying again which doesn't solve the issue at all.
 
"We stopped the payment", so that we can attempt to loot yet another of our user. That is Paypal, which is popularly notorious.

You're not wrong - had some accounts permanently limited with balance in it even though all the required documents were fine etc (and of course they made us wait the whole 180+ days before allowing to withdraw the balance). Looks like they are getting greedy! Lol
 
Lols, are you seriously?
That message show user when they try to make friends & family transfers to account person who user didn't know, and receiver account looks danger. Its logical...

If you're provide service - use g\s instead of ff
If you try to send between your accounts, you can use another methods

EVERYYEAR Real people lost billions because Scammers uses multiple methods for steal money, so governments must to regulatory that.

Bro it's not about doing services and using f&f instead or whatever. It's the fact that even if, say, both accounts have a long transaction history with each other (like years), this stuff still happens and there is literally no way around it as even PAYPAL ITSELF when contacted cannot tell what's going on as they can't see anything wrong. But sure if acting smart about something you have no clue about makes you feel better, go on lol
