6. Yes you should have $500 in account 1 that is yours (or 485 rather)

Lets forget about the fees and multiple PP accounts as that just complicates it ...

You started with zero in your bank account and zero in paypal, right? So ...
0 starting sum
+500 1st sent by nephew in pp
= 500 total your money in pp and bank

- 500 sent back to nephew
= 0 total your money in pp and bank

+ 500 sent 2nd time by nephew
= 500 total your money in pp and bank

If you still have 0 in the bank you must still have $500 in Paypal, otherwise the 2nd $500 your nephew sent you has vanished.

If PayPal can find a way to lock some money up for months, they will jump on it. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jan 2021 #12
