My company empties our PayPal account 2x a month, at which point it's well into 5 digits, and we've been doing this for ~5 years. If emptying accounts is a red flag, it's never hit us.

Right, but you've been doing that with regularity. It's all about patterns. In addition to that, you are not doing this a day or two after having a probing conversation with a Paypal representative who obviously called with concerns about your account. Huge difference.

I can take almost any amount I want out of our Paypal accounts and it has never triggered so much as a warning email. Our track record (~10 years) is pretty solid.
