PayPal Payments Review

I had 2 sales with PayPal on my Shopify site where I'm selling all my remaining inventory from my closed jewelry store at a little over cost/wholesale. The first one for $200 I was able to transfer to my personal bank account. But the second one for $750 wouldn't go no matter what. Message said couldn't tell who I was.

PayPal support is almost impossible to contact, remaining in artificial stupidity mode until you figure out how to send a message. There's no live chat and phone says everything too busy right now. Finally got a human to reply after 36 hours and she said she had corrected it but it still failed.

finally tried transferring to my business account which was the initial account I used set up PayPal, even though I had set up the personal account with PayPal. It sailed right through. I had to keep the business account open long after I closed my store because I am expecting a small tax refund from NJ (been 5 months now) and my bank said I couldn't deposit it in my personal account (even though they took one for $8.00 after I twisted Big Brother's arm).

I cancelled PayPal with Shopify and set up Amazon Pay instead.
