Marketplace purchase was refused because of "your Maximum Amount Risk Control Settings" - what's up?

[Dylan Rickenbacker]

I tried to buy an item on the marketplace with a price tag of 12,600L$, which is slightly less than US$54. I wanted to pay via PayPal. So I was redirected to PayPal to authorize my payment - no problems so far. But when I was redirected to the marketplace page, I got this:

 

"Gateway Error ... The transaction was refused because the maximum amount was excceeded as a result of your Maximum Amount Risk Control Settings."

 

Any idea what's up with that? I called PayPal - they say it has nothing to do with them or with my account there. I even tried again after moving the funds to my PayPal account first ... still no joy. Knowledge Base draws a blank. Any help greatly appreciated!

I guess it may relate with your account level.
