    Pretty much yes.
    over £500 you need to upgrade (to premier) and pay to receive payments.

    Otherwise how would ebay get even more money out of you?
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    doesn't matter, i'm sure it's £500 worth of transactions over the whole time you've had your paypal account.

    you'll have to upgrade
