How to Increase the Payment Limit of a PayPal Account

1. Confirm the email address you used to sign up for PayPal. Follow the instruction in the 'Welcome' email to confirm your email.
2. Linking and confirming a valid credit or debit card will also raise your payment limit. PayPal confirms a credit card by charging a small amount to the card (the amount is refunded to your PayPal account once your card is confirmed). This charge will be accompanied by a 4-digit PIN associated with the charge---you should be able to find this 4-digit number on your credit card bill or by logging into your online banking account and viewing the charge. Log back in to your PayPal account and enter that 4-digit code to verify your card.
3. Link and verify a valid bank account. The verification process is similar to the credit card verification process. Only in this case, PayPal will make small, random deposits to the account. You need to find the exact amount of these deposits by checking your bank statement or accessing your accounts through online banking. Once you enter those deposit amounts, PayPal will verify your bank account and raise your payment limit.
4. An alternate way to help increase your payment limit is to verify your physical address. PayPal will send a confirmation code by postal mail to your address. You can request this by visiting PayPal's 'Security Center' section and requesting it. Once the letter arrives in the mail, you'll need to log back into your PayPal account and enter the number to confirm your address.
5. Directly request PayPal to raise your limit. Visit their 'Resolution Center' on the website and look for the links on how to remove limitations (should be towards the top of the page). PayPal lists additional ways to increase your payment limit (including verifying a landline phone number) Follow the steps and submit your request to PayPal. According to the website, they attempt to resolve all requests within 3 business days.

Ways to Advertise PayPal Buttons

Website
The primary way to advertise a PayPal button is on a business website. If you sell your products and services from your own business website, PayPal has HTML code you can copy and paste into your website. Place the button near the product or service you sell. When buyers click on the button, it takes them through the PayPal shopping cart to complete the purchase transaction.
EBay
Whether or not you sell your products and services from your own website, you can also advertise your PayPal buttons on eBay. EBay allows sellers to place PayPal buttons in auctions as well as Buy Now Transactions, where the product or service sells for a flat rate rather than in a bid situation.
Emails and E-newsletters
You can also advertise your PayPal buttons in email blasts and e-newsletters that you send to subscribers on your list. You can promote either a single product or service with a PayPal button in an email or several products or services in one email, each with its PayPal button. You can also insert one or two products or services, along with coordinating PayPal buttons in e-newsletters that regularly go out to subscribers. Providing PayPal buttons in emails and e-newsletters makes it easy for buyers to purchase directly from the email, without having to go to your website to complete the transaction.
