Informing them in this instance does seem more like the situation where you tell your bank your traveling overseas between X and Y.
It's reasonable to assume a flood of cash would be enough to set off various alarms.
It is a shame you have to be so wary of PayPal, but in this case it did lead them to do what would be the right thing no matter what you were using to cover payment processing.
- kroger 13y agoCalling them it's not a big deal, but they could make it clear. If you email their support you'll get these long and vague emails. I've learned my lesson: if I need anything from PayPal I'll call them presto. Once I was accessing PayPal while using a VPN (I was on a public wifi) and they blocked my account. I called them and the matter was solved very efficiently in seconds. But, how on earth would I know that my account would be blocked if I used a VPN?
- mhurron 13y agoI don't think anyone would say the way PayPal handles things is the right way, including the clarity of their communications. I just saw the story highlighting that you probably should have a better relationship with your financial institutions in general. In this case the fear of dealing with PayPal lead the author of the link to do what would have been the right thing no matter who they were dealing with.
