If my friend owes me money, and he buys these, sends me the money through Paypal, and then I withdraw it to my bank, does that still trigger shutdown type behavior or is that more legit?
Nothing for you to worry, I had the same exact experience with a friend who owed me money and sent it to me through paypal, as long as your receiving money you did nothing wrong, paypal called me about money being received and I said what I get I can't control, they said we will get in contact to the other party and if anything he will get shut down,which he did several times. As the famous saying goes, PGFHGS.
