if we are talking PayPal..........if they smell even the slightest whiff of something off, they (PayPal) will lock your account from any crypto transactions for 3 days. If on day 2 and 12 hours, you try transact again, that resets the clock and locked again for 3 days. I use PayPal for all my "know your customer" above board, not anonymous stuff. Like don't even bother with a vpn. Why PayPal? Force of habit, plus they make things really easy. You want a *****ing challenge, setup a Monero wallet from the official Monero website. I felt like James *****ing Bond after setting that up. I love drugs and chemistry. I absolutely *****ing hate having to deal with VPN, tor, cryptography, PGP keys blah blah blah.............but GOT TO DO IT
