I seem to be having a large number of one hight end item selling-paypal is concerned, should i be?

In the last 2 days, I received about 15 orders for one high end item—all different customers; paid with paypal. Customers opened a new account to buy, but that seems to be my customer base since I sell new and they come in from google.

However, Paypal got nervous about the activity and limited my account. Should I be concerned?

The item is a humminbird Fishfinder—Cost $564 I have plenty, that’s no problem, but I can’t seem to get ahold of anybody at Bonanza and it really is time sensitive.

Any thoughts from the Community?

I had that happen to me last year at this time. I got 8 or 9 orders in one day for the same $300 item, all within a couple of hours of each other. I was leary so I googled the address’s and they were all either “drop boxes” or freight forwarding address’s.
I was nervous about the sales, so I just cancelled them all and refunded. That same day Paypal “flagged” my account. A few days later Paypal notified me that all the sales were fraudulent. I’m glad that I had cancelled the orders.
