In order to safeguard your account, PayPal enforces restrictions on both withdrawals and sending, which can prove to be exasperating, particularly for those engaging in large-scale trading.
As of the time of writing, PayPal accounts are subject to an annual sending limit of $3,702.06 USD and an annual withdrawal limit of $57,498.53 USD.
You can verify your PayPal account by linking your debit card, debit card, or bank account. However, if you want to totally lift the limit on your PayPal account, link a bank account.
This is because linking a card will only increase your limit to the values stated above but will not permanently lift the withdrawal limit on your PayPal.
In this article, I’ll show you how you can view the limitations on your PayPal account and how to also lift the withdrawal limit on your PayPal.

PayPal will most likely send a token into the bank account with a code attached and ask you to provide the code. So, do well to check your bank statement or debit alerts for this 4-digit code.
You can now start withdrawing from your account without the limitations attached.
Also, despite the fact that your limits have been lifted, PayPal still reserves the right to decline your withdrawals if they suspect it to be high risk.
If you have tried the above steps and are still unable to remove the withdrawal limit, you may need to contact PayPal customer service.
