    Paypal Acount Frozen

    Well I guess I didn't listen to everyone else and their issues. Never had a problem with them before after years. Got an affiliate payment on march 1 and that triggered something on the AUP - acceptable use policy. The only information I could get over the phone was the offending transaction. A few hours later I get an email saying I am a paypal advantage member because I spend over $5,000 last year.

    Anyway just a heads up to everyone.

    did you get your funds? If not sometimes you can refund the payment and then have them resend using another method. I have had so many PayPal accounts closed because they are fuckers and randomly decide to freeze an account. I have one account that is active but they hold payments for 30 days to ensure there is no charge backs. LOL like the cpa companies paying me are going to charge back. Stupid shit. Use Paxum, Alert Pay anything but PP especially with big payments.

        So can you tell which program sent you the affiliate payment so we can at least have a heads up if some of us are getting paid the same way from that program.

          It's sad when accounts get frozen and funds are jacked...hopefully you get some sympathy from around here but something tells me that you will be blamed for your misfortune, trolled incessantly, and asked to change your traffic and see if you get different results

              Fuck, my buddy sent a couple bills owed to an ancient email address. Everything was different, business name, bank account, phone number etc. Thought it was gone for sure but put in new bank info and they let me withdraw even though I couldn't send or spend it.

                  I've been warning people for years not to use PP for adult transactions, including affiliate payments. It's clearly against their AUP - not worth the risk to me.

                    The funny thing is they still take payments from file lockers AFAIK.

                    Anyone ever have problems with receiving payments from a broker or places like Plugrush and Juicy Ads?

                      Someone to sue paypal ?
                      It is not their funds, after all.
                      And if porn is legal they can forbid with a rule that is not stated in the law (excessive or even abusive)

                          6 months till you get the money right? At least you will get your money you have there. I just don't understand why the fuckers can just make It ok with legal adult transactions.

                            Paypal is less hassle and more appealing (cheaper) than others like Paxum in some countries like the U.S. I've never even had to give a bank or government agency all the things the other alternatives such as Paxum are asking for to verify an account. I'd strongly prefer people used ACH more in the U.S. it's almost always free or very low cost. There's no reason for a middle man for people in certain countries.

                              My understanding for years was exactly what you said, but that in the last couple of years they have relaxed the aup to allow adult programs to send affiliate payments. The thread starters situation makes me wonder if paypal had a problem with the adult program's account for other reasons and his affiliate payment got him caught in the crossfire.

                                Is it a good idea to have more than 10K in paypal?

                                specially when you can't withdraw it, because they don't send WIRES to other countries and if they send a check via regular mail and the check gets LOST (sometimes happens), you are fucked, because they don't send another one and you lose the money.

                                It's quite tricky, but sometimes it's the only method to get paid, specially in some mainstream sponsors..

                                  Never leave more there than you feel comfortable losing.

                                      I've said this a bazillion times to people but do this:

                                      Paypal account (or any similar type account) -> Bank account 1 -> bank account 2

                                      As soon as you get the money in paypal, transfer to bank account 1, then transfer to bank account 2. They cannot touch it that way other than through legal avenues.

                                          I too got my account frozen this week. i've been using Paypal for my scripts for almost 5 years now and I have talked to them on a number of occasions and they have said it was all fine to use them. But it seems even they were wrong.

                                          My account is now terminated with 180 days to withdraw my funds -- which im glad was only $1.50 left because I had used all the funds a week before.

                                                Just for the record - https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?c...locale.x=en_US
                                                Read Prohibited Activities, section 2, point (h).
                                                This was updated not too long ago to be even more vague than what was stipulated before but basically the sale of any adult material (displaying nudity) be it direct with consumer or paying out affiliates for the sale of their adult material all falls under the same jurisdiction as far as Paypal is concerned.

                                                  He wont have to wait 180 days to get his payment, he has disputed the action of paypal, and if he cannot get his money in the next few days, I will send him a check for it. And no I will not need to get the money sent though paypal back, its his when ever paypal gives it back to him. Not his fault, he deserves to be paid and will.

                                                        ever heard the phrase "your arms are too short to box with God"

                                                        Well when the 3rd party is holding your money and denying you access to it....they by default become God of the situation

                                                        You are going to need a longer set of arms to reach those funds.

                                                        Be careful what you post I would wager paypal has spotters scanning this board hoping someone slips up and gives them a *reason* to Freeze Funds

Plus a way to bribe them is that they LOVE to collect information so if you really want it, when you call, just be like, "So if i send in 3 current bills and a copy of my social security card and copy of my ID then you will unblock my account?" Totally gives them a hard on to think they will get more information on you.

The thread starters situation makes me wonder if paypal had a problem with the adult program's account for other reasons and his affiliate payment got him caught in the crossfire.
                                                                                  I have phoned Paypal three times in the past 2 years (their Corporate Sales office) to ask if I could use them to accept payment for adult traffic. Each time I was told a flat out "no". It was against their AUP.

                                                                                  As far as I'm concerned any adult affiliate program using Paypal to make payments is trying to fly under the radar. Eventually, they will get caught.

                                                                                  Originally posted by travs

I wanna say it's around $5-10k a year, but I do not recall off the top of my head now. They will run it on you personally, and/or your business EIN. As long as you are in good standing, you will rarely have any serious issue with them. If it comes back otherwise, you will have things "out of the blue" come up with your account.

                                                                                        This policy has been in place for a couple of years now, and definitely not new. What has probably changed is, you are pushing more volume through your account, transferring money out immediately (your bank account, paying vendors, etc.). Which in turn raises a red flag, and then they start poking around in your transaction history.

                                                                                        Should You Email Your Members?

Both times they settled for millions, admitted no wrong doing and continued doing the same thing. Apparently they make more from the interest on holding peoples money hostage than it costs to settle lawsuits.

Been fine for years. The explanation was very vague. One the phone they did tell say which transaction caused the issue. But the AUC dept can not be reached via phone and they suggested sending them an email.

The name of the program is often mentioned in PP notes or in the email domain. I'd assume that if any of their affiliate gets their account frozen due to these transactions, then the company's account would be frozen too. Makes me wonder why the issue is still so vague.
