A few paypal questions

If anyone can help out I appreciate it.
I have had my PP account for about 15 years. I have used it for various businesses and personal. Recently I sold my company (not hobby related) so I decided to use my paypal account as my buying account for cards. In the past I used it almost 100% for receiving payments. I can't remember using it for buying.
Anyway, I added $2000 from my bank account to PP and had no problems. I tried to add additional funds after that went into my PP account and I was blocked. The error message said I could not add funds at that time. I called PP and the rep was very evasive with his answers. He would not tell me a reason why I was blocked. I asked if there is a daily limit or a total amount limit to what I could put in my PP and all he said was, "well you can't put $100,000 in it". At that point he had no idea what I wanted to add and no it was not $100,000. Is there a daily or total limit to what you can transfer from your bank to PP?
Also, I see a lot of action on BST and prices are usually based on a friends and family no fee payment. Does paypal ever stop that or limit how much can be sent via F&F? They don't take a fee on those transactions.
Thanks.

I do this for the protection and the 1% cash back.

Just simply leave off what the transaction is for and say something like Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, Happy Coming Out Day (you know who you are when you sent your buy ins for the CU Fantasy Football league you *****s) or something like this and you are less likely to get shutdown quickly.
I had my account frozen for like 30 days maybe 3 years ago for paying out buy ins for Fantasy of around $1200 over a 2 day period. I was warned do not do it again. The next year I paid out maybe $2000 and nothing happened and this past NFL season paid out close to $3200 and again nothing happened.
This is PayPal for you, zero reasoning behind what they may or may not do to you. Unless gun related or something else they hate which then they just ban you ASAP.
For some reason I thought you have to have a balance in your PP account to make a F&F payment. Am I wrong?
You can send a F&F payment from a linked bank account. You just can't use a credit card without the fee.

Is there any reason to carry a balance in a PP account?
I feel like such a PP novice when it comes to making payments because I really only used my account for receiving. The few purchases I made were funded by my PP account balance from the payments I received.
Whether PP has any stance on guns is something that should probably not be discussed on this board.

Paypal keeps getting harder to use because they are cracking down on everything, and limiting accounts for any stupid reason. People should consider ditching paypal and using another electronic payment source. There are better alternatives.
What alternatives are better? Ive had so much trouble with PP and would gladly move on. They are at the bottom in customer service, professionalism etc. The more I deal with them the more I'm convinced its just recent college or high school grads. Slightly better than a fast food job.

Chase has quickpay which seems like they copied PP. It has no fees and it can be done between different banks but there are daily and monthly limits. It took a few minutes for me to click around and get all the info I wanted but try this out https://www.chase.com/online/digital/quickpay.html#
