Damon,

I am a verified premier member.

My son has a personal account. He is not an auction seller and never will be. He buys occasionally.

He's away at college and I sent him $200.

He was forced to upgrade to a premier account!

His only two options were upgrade or refuse payment.

This doesn't seem right. Is there anything that can be done?

Thanks

If you sent the money VIA credit card then he went over his $100 credit card monthly limit. Those are the rules.

Those are the rules for sellers or someone in business. Why even offer a free personal account if you can't use it?

Probably for the same reasons that they offer a referral bonus that practically nobody ever gets.

Did you send money to your son using your credit card? This could trigger his receivng limit.

Below are our Terms of Use regarding receiving limits for a Personal Account from a credit card:

Credit Card Receiving Limit. Personal Accounts are limited to receiving $100 per month of credit card payments. Payments funded from the sender's checking account or existing PayPal account balance will not count against the recipient's limit. Payments funded wholly or partially by a credit card are classified as credit card payments in the PayPal system.

Your son can downgrade from a Business/Premier account back to a personal account and you can then use bank account transfers to send him money in the future.
