Hello
Here is a new one for me. Won two lots. Know seller is out of town for a few days. Tried to pay via PP and PP said. "Seller not available to receive funds"
Can sellers just shut off Pay Pal? and if so why would they? Seems to me that if they were going to be gone for a prolonged time they just would not list?
Anyway new to me

This may not be the reason, but might hinder a payment being received by a seller.
From PayPal:
Is there a limit to the amount of payments Personal Accounts can receive?
Yes. When you sign up for a Personal PayPal Account in the US, UK or Canada, you will have a receiving limit equivalent to $1,000.00 USD USD based on the Primary Currency of the account. (The receiving limit for accounts with Pounds sterling as a primary currency is £550.00 GBP and for Canadian Dollars is $1,250.00 CAD . See PayPal's website for limits in other currencies. If you receive payments in more than one currency, your limit will be calculated based on the total amount you receive each month after the amount is converted into your primary currency.
The receiving limit applies to the following payment types: eBay Items, Auction Non-eBay, and Goods-Other (Website sales). All applicable payments which exceed the monthly limit will be placed in accept/deny status until you upgrade your account to receive the payments or you choose to deny them. The limit is reset monthly on the anniversary of your sign up date.

More than likely, their ID has been locked up. PayPal caught a lot of flack for continuing to allow accounts to recieve funds after the account owner was restricted from withdrawing them in the past so they now restrict the account in both directions until whatever the issue is is cleared up.

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

Hello
and thanks for the replys. This gets even stranger.
The sellers account was locked because he is an Iranian stamp dealer in NYC who sells old (most over 60 years old) philatelic material about 80% from the country of Iran. Unless he was sending money to Iran through Pay Pal (somehow) I don't see the logic.
This world is getting weirder and weirder!

where does it say his account was locked because he is an iranian dealer??
i dont think Iran is a country paypal does business with-if he is in Iran and tried to access his account,his account would be locked.

Ala eBay you are fumbling in the dark trying to figure out the creature you are dealing with. Not right.

send him nothing until he comes back from Iran and declare himself once again as a loyal,faithful american citizen.
