Would you keep $7,000 in your Paypal Account?

only transfer it if you want your account froozen and you ike faxing your entire life history to them. and then they will most likely link your account to someone elses and tell you can't get the funds out for at least 3 months....
Yup Yup... that is kind of what happened to me. I had $2000 come in and left it there and they locked up my account and asked me to send in all sorts of information. I sent them all in and they still would not unlock my account. Along the way, anyone that was linked to my account had their account locked up. In total, about 6 accounts were locked up and no one could pull money out. 6 months later they let me pull the money out but the account was still locked up and everyone still has not gotten their money back yet.

I wouldn't trust them with 2 cents. Stop using them long ago when the first came out and allowed me to get screwed on a few ebay dealings (dont' use them either anymore). I stick stricly to MO for board dealings (safer and trackable) and CC on secure online sites. Good luck with what you decide to do. Later.

NEVER, I even cut off the link to my bank account. Paypal is notorious for just "freezing" your assets without an explanation. All I have on there is my credit card with a $1000 limit. I learned from other people's mistakes.

You should definitely store some of it in my account, see if you have it in two accounts it is much safer, just go ahead and send it to me, thanks.hahahaha
