Dear friend, if your paypal account is not verified than you able to withdraw only 500$ per month. But as I read the paypal message, I think you clean your computer, may be any harmful virus their. Second you can change your paypal password immediately.

well this happened with me as well... But after I uploaded the needed documents, my account was lifted from the limit...

Paypal limits your account for the following reasons:

- If you have sent more than limited money and your account is unverified
- If there is an attempt from a third party to access your account.

These are only some of the reasons for which paypal requires your proofs to make sure that your account is safe

i have never seen such a problem.but i think you might have done something wrong with your account or else somebody is trying to hack your account.

Read my above post nash i already said that

Its not only when somebody is trying to hack your account, if they read a different IP address logging into your account then also they limit your access and ask for authorisation..

how can we send any one money beyond the limit. i guess that when we have a limit of $500 of withdrawal or sending then we could not send or withdraw more than that even if we want to.

i have not experienced this one. i only withdraw or send money using my computer at home so that i will be using same ip address.

but i like actually this strict rules in paypal. cause it just means that paypal is taking care very well our account from being used and hacked by others though it may mean some problems or hassle in our part. but it is worth the truth to ensure that we are not going to lose our money to other people or to scammers or hackers.

it is more like a good thing than a negative thing about their service. as long as we are the owner of the account then we will be able to provide the needed documents and identification ot take the limit or un freeze our account.

It is not the matter of sending over the limit ...
Even if you use up all your limit the paypal adminstration asks you to get verified in order to increase the limits ...
At the same time the other scenario where your account might be limited is when there is reversal in your account
That is if someone asks for a cash back then your account will be limited..
