Are you going to donate the money you collected to a worthy cause or have you spent it all already?

Wasn't the money given to her to get a boob job? If I had donated money for a boob job, I would expect the money to be used for a boob job. If it wasn't I would feel cheated regardless of "worthy" the cause is.

My account is frozen at the moment because I accidently logged in using a proxy when I wasn't paying attention. Now I've got to jump through about 50 of their hoops to get access to my cash.

I usually dump everything into the bank every few days. It looks like they waited for me to get a big chunk in there before locking me out.

Fuck Paypal. Fuck HeatherHamtons too.

Yeah I agree 100%. I have however found another good way to get money...besides yahoo paydirect.

I didnt know this until today but you can send and receive money online through the united states postal service.

I went to their site and its real easy to use.

Its amazing to me how paypal has screwed over so many people and lost so much money, yet they keep doing the same thing.

They have been sued several tiems and lost,but theya re still around. How is this possible?

HeatherH, are you for real? This is your paypal [email protected]. Are you going to tell us that you are not involved in porn? Or do you have another paypal account. Why wait for the fall semester to start school when you can take some classes during the summer. I suggest primer classes: Idiot 101 and How not to look like a fool?both non-credited but well worth the money.

BTW. how is your boobie quest going?

yes i am for real. Yes that is my paypal account, but they claim that I was using paypal on my website which I never did.

Eeven if I was it wouldnt matter. There is something called a grandfather claus. When I signed up with paypal, they allowed adult transactions. When they decided to stop, they sent out a mass email. They never had us sign a new "terms of service" agreement. Which means I can still legally accept adult sales.

Whe I was on the phone with the FTC, they told me to file a suit because they are in breech of contract. I do fall under the grandfather claus, and so do most of you.

That is exactly what I am talking about. They seem to frreze account for no reason. I knew they did this before but I was unaware until today, just how often they did it.

What was the reason they said they were freezing your account?

Did you have issues with the customer support?

No way...there are other alternatives. A lot of them actually. People just dont wanna give them a try because they are afraid of new experiences, yet they stay with paypal who is known to treat their users like shit.

Paypal started as a reputable company and then it went downhill.

Did you know that they not only earn interest off your balance, but when they freeze your account they earn interest on it as well? You cant have your money but they can still make a profit.

They also usually never pay anyone once they freeze there account. There is a small percentage of people who have received their money but not many.

They take your money and pocket it as if it were theirs.

I never leave a balance... I have ALL daily transactions deposited into my bank account.

I have not had too much trouble with PayPal, I had trouble with lying, cheating customers taking advantage of the PayPal policy, but it was my fault for not covering my ass so I cannot blame them for that.

I have been with them since hte early days.... still somewhat happy, not unhappy enough to change to anyone else... not yet anyway.

Thanks.

Now maybe I'll get into the arguement.

Could this be a possible discrimination suit? Heather isn't using Paypal on her site. She is a Paypal user who got her account terminated because her email address was on an adult domain. She's not the only person this has happened to. This seems to be what they've done, and that's a lot different from "We will no longer process for the adult industry." They are saying if you are in the adult industry we don't want you using our system.

Just a thought.

Now I'll admit I've been an ass to Heather, but who's the one who went as far as reporting her to Paypal?

You need a good lawyer if you believe this crap.

In their original terms they stated they could change the terms at any time. You can't put their business at risk because VISA does not allow them to just process for adult because they feel like it. Rules change, deal with it.

Karma is always a bitch.

Edit: And yes, tell new adult webmasters they should be recieving money from anything to do with the post office. When they are in jail with federal charges for using it for porn they can thank you.

Now maybe I'll get into the arguement.

Could this be a possible discrimination suit? Heather isn't using Paypal on her site. She is a Paypal user who got her account terminated because her email address was on an adult domain. She's not the only person this has happened to. This seems to be what they've done, and that's a lot different from "We will no longer process for the adult industry." They are saying if you are in the adult industry we don't want you using our system.

Just a thought.

Now I'll admit I've been an ass to Heather, but who's the one who went as far as reporting her to Paypal?
Thats wha I am thinking as well. I tried explaining to them that my website has nothing to do with them but they dont wanna hear it. They wont even reply to my emails.

I tried calling them and got the run around. They said that they cannot get into my account because they are mearly representatives. They have no authority yet they wouldnt connect me with the right departmemt because "they dont accept phone calls".

Just an FYI but paypal type businesses are pretty much unregulated still. You'll spend more time and money trying to get your cash back than you have in there.

In their original terms they stated they could change the terms at any time. You can't put their business at risk because VISA does not allow them to just process for adult because they feel like it. Rules change, deal with it.

Karma is always a bitch.

Edit: And yes, tell new adult webmasters they should be recieving money from anything to do with the post office. When they are in jail with federal charges for using it for porn they can thank you.
Yes they can change it anytime they want to, but when things are updated you need to once again sign on the dotted line that you agree.

Same thing goes for your website. Lets say you charge $19.95 a month then decide to change it to $29.95 a month. If there are members that were paying $19.95 and are still getting rebilled, the price will remain the same until they decide to cancel. Should they choose to sign up again, they will now have to pay the $29.95 because they are agreeing to your new terms.

Yes that may be, but thats because they are bullshit business owners.

They arent a bank yet they opperate like one. The FDIC has contacted them several times to dispute this. Fortunatly for a lot of us, we dont have to worry to an extent. The FDIC insures you up to $100,000 if the money in your account came from a bank account or credit card (since creidt cards are through banks as well)

Paypal added a new terms you had to agree to by a certain date or you couldn't log into your account.

I actually managed to get a phone reps "manager" on the phone the other day. I felt like I was getting places.

Now I have another hoop to jump thru. All because I logged in under a proxy and they freeze my account for "my protection".

If you're in the US. Please sign up and use Paydirect. You're dealing with a real bank. You're actually protected.

It was just a screen when you first logged in that you had to hit accept on to proceed.

they still owe me whats left of my account (about $500) when they did that account freezing thing last spring. It said we get our money wired back to us in 4-6 months, but it still hasn't happened. I've just given it up and 'written it off'.
