PayPal limits each merchant how much they can bill you monthly. You can increase or decrease this limit.
If you ever see a "Failed transaction" error message, check if you have reached your monthly limit!
Change Monthly PayPal Limits
To change your monthly PayPal limits
- Sign in to your PayPal account at http://www.paypal.com/
- Visit Profile | Financial Information | Pay List
- Click the merchant in question
- Click "Edit Billing Limit" under "Bill Term"
Note: If you don't see an "Edit Billing Limit" then the merchant may be set on a monthly auto-renew plan.
Personally, I had this issue with Websites.fromAnywhere.com, a GoDaddy reseller, and I increased the monthly limit to allow a purchase to go through.
