[QUOTE="Il Bersagliere, post: 949541, member: 9160"] Ok. You've got 'a guy' or 'a plug' at PayPal, which leads me to believe that you have some clout or never travel. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of business do you do and what is your monthly volume? PayPal has an implicit policy where they limit or lock your account if you are under a personal account and using it for business and processing lots of payments.
