Aye, i was right..taken from the ebay paypal tutorial page...

Verifying your PayPal Account
In order to safeguard the security of everyone using the PayPal system all new PayPal account holders have a spending limit of up to £500.

Doing a quick google, I have foudn that if you verify your bank account ( this is where paypal send you 2 or 3 tiny amounts into your accounts over a few days, which you then confirm on the link they send you (again IIRC), and then your spending limits should be raised.. apparently!

Paypal as safety proof as ever then , they should set a daily limit of £500 for new accounts so the max you can get fleeced by George Agdgdgwngo is £500 in one day rather than getting your account emptied.

jods

You're WELL racist you - George Agdgdgwngo was innocent - It was his uncle Umbongo Bngwgwgonoggoghn who was the dodgy one.
