Weehaaa, paypal has frozen my account - GoFuckYourself.com

Apollo · 01-17-2003, 03:28 PM

After being a member for nearly 3 years in perfect standing, using the same credit card/bank account and never a chargeback on any sales I put through the system. Paypal has decided I am not who I say I am and have to undergo an investigation, need to fax several documents and probably have to offer a few blood samples as well.

Not bitching =) I've always been prepared for something like this to happen due to all the paypal warnings I've gotten from people....just wanted to announce I have joined the millions of others who have been cornholed by paypal for doing nothing wrong.

My paypal account got froze yesterday after over a year... I spoke to representative on the phone who told me they flag sites where say 2 people are logged in at same time from different places in the world * just example... He also said they daily randomly pick sites to be reviewed.

I Faxed the required info, standard stuff as if u was opening a bank account. Passport photo, utility bill. Same day got email from paypal acknowledging the fax and saying I had to now change my password and security answers. Done this and now waiting for reply..

Now that is good service. Sure I am without paypal for a few days BUT they are doing this to protect themselves and to protect us.

You would soon be bitching if someone got into your account and sent $5000 of ur money to their bank account..

so

for paypal from me.

multisexsite · 01-17-2003, 03:43 PM

Darren, you arent out of Paypal service for a few days, you are out of Paypal forever. Trust me on this, you'll never get your account back.

Jamie · 01-17-2003, 03:45 PM

That happened to us, it's really no big deal. Just fax in the info and things get turned back on.

Don't sweat it

I don't think paypal closes account for fun!

Theo · 01-17-2003, 03:57 PM

thanks Darren

JFPdude · 01-17-2003, 03:58 PM

It happened once to me ...

Paypal was very professional about it. Like you I threw them a flag and started using my card all over jersey getting motels rooms, sex toy shop stuff, electronics, etc etc etc if I was watching my card that weekend I would have flagged it too.

But a phone call and a fax and bam they had me reinstated.

Now I call them when I'm about to throw flags and haven't had a problem since.

Paypal = Top Notch for me

Bank of America did it 2 my ATM card a few years ago. I just went 2 my branch ask want happened, I had been getting cash (the max amount) every day for like 6 or 7 days and had never done that before, I also told'm don't do that any more, it's never happened again. So not it's not just Paypal. They all have a lot of AI and Fuzzy Logic in there software

iroc409 · 01-17-2003, 04:21 PM

no, i've had pretty good luck with paypal, but their dispute resolution is a little sketchy. i could see where a lot of people could get scammed pretty easily through some of that crap. if you can't track it through a 3rd party, you pretty much have no defense.

lol... one of my friends got his account frozen with like $25-30g's in it

they are fairly careful, too. i've had the debit card yanked a few times. it was iinconvienient, but it just took a phonecall to get it running again.

There is no reason on God's green Earth I'd leave that much money in a Paypal account! I do a sweep into my bank account (which IS FDIC insured) whenever I get over a few hundred dollars, so if I do get frozen it's no big loss.

heheh... he had *just* gotten paid for something, and they nailed it like right on time, before he could withdraw it

Darin · 01-17-2003, 04:48 PM

Hmm no problems so far. (crossing fingers).

fletcher · 01-17-2003, 06:01 PM

I've heard WAY too many horror stories with them. I had a small amount (about $500) get sent to me....let it sit for about a week to "clear", then deposited it into my checking account. Over a month later, they said it was fraudulent and my account went into the negative numbers. So I e-mailed them and faxed them all the info and was told it was being looked into. Last week I got a collection notice. Fuck it, I paid it. Wasn't worth the hassle.

kios · 01-17-2003, 06:14 PM

Same thing happened to me. 2 years+ international business account without any chargeback. Faxed in the documents and a day later they opened my account again.

Cirrus · 01-17-2003, 07:06 PM

Not a big deal, after they review your account they will unlock it again.
