Why This Happens
PayPal categorizes certain account activities as high risk based on transaction patterns, industry classification, or geographic factors. High-risk flagging can freeze your account while PayPal's risk team reviews your transactions. This often happens to accounts that suddenly start processing larger transactions than their historical average.
Example Notification
