Avoid using proxies, Tor browser, IPs from another country, or public Wi-Fi areas to sign into the account. If you must use a VPN (Virtual Private Network), use a dedicated VPN source.

Avoid having charge backs and disputes from your buyers. This will trigger a limitation if you have too many of them.
5
Do not transfer funds immediately to bank or to another PayPal user when first receiving the funds.

Be weary of phishing emails coming from PayPal claiming your account is limited. These are fake emails and should be avoided at all cost.
