A PayPal account that still works next month
PayPal is still where a great deal of freelance and creator money moves. Accounts opened carelessly get limited within weeks, usually taking the balance with them — so how it is opened matters more than how fast.
Opened and verified
Set up with documents and details that hold up, so the account is usable rather than merely created.
Rules explained
What triggers a limitation, and how to use the account so it does not happen to you.
Getting money out
A route from the balance to money you can spend, agreed before the account is opened rather than discovered afterwards.
Still there afterwards
If the account is ever limited, you have someone to ask who has seen it before.
Talk to us before you open one
Most accounts we are asked to rescue were opened in a hurry. It is much easier to do it right the first time.
