I have received a limit of 300€.
How can I increase the receiving limit?
I got an email from PayPal and on the link for the request for a higher amount in the email I asked for a limit increase, it said I should get a response in 3 days, but it's been a while and I still haven't received any response.
Image of the email PayPal sent me:
Thanks.

You can click the “Request” link in the email or follow the directions in the email to request an increase: “To request an increase, log in to your PayPal account, click the Notifications (bell) icon at the top of the page and then click Request Increase at the bottom of the page.”
If they do not increase your limit this month, make another request next month. The receiving limit changes every month as well. If you go over the limit for the month, your payments over the limit will experience the 21 day hold. You can do the steps below to try to get the money sooner:
There are two methods to release money sooner depending on what you see on your screen:
Method 1:
Recipient has to change the order status or add tracking:
- Go to Activity.
- Find the transaction to update, then click Get your money.
- *If you sold a product, select Product to add tracking information or print shipping label directly.
- **If you received payment that do not require shipping, selling an intangible item or service, select Service or virtual product to confirm order status.
Click Submit.
*Use one of the approved shipping carriers and PayPal release the hold 24 hours after the courier confirms delivery to the buyer’s address.
**Recipient will get their money 7 days after confirming the order status as Completed.
Method 2:
If there are no issues with the transactions such as disputes, claims or chargebacks, the funds should typically be released within 21 days from the date of payment.
In some markets, the transaction can be marked as "shipped" or "processed" to gain earlier access to the funds.
Here's how to mark your item as “shipped” or “Processed” in the Transaction details:
- Log in to your PayPal account.
- Go to Activity page,
- Click the transaction to update.
- Click “Add tracking info” button.
- Click the Order Status menu and select “Order Processed” if physical shipping is not required, otherwise select “Shipped” and provide tracking number if available.
Then, after 48 hrs from payment date, ask Sender to ‘confirm receipt’, here’s how:
- Click Activity at the top of the page.
- Find and click the original payment for the item.
- Click Confirm receipt.
- Click Yes to confirm that you received the order.
Note: Not all transactions will have the ‘confirm receipt’ option nor is required to confirm receipt.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
