I never kept more than 2 thousands with PayPal, but when they shut my account down there were only $280. And they send me them, so I lost nothing. Actually they even were that kind to wire me the rest instead of sending a check, because I asked them to do so... I did not like them much, but those scary stories about PayPal are usually overstatements. There is always a way to deal with any people, it's just a matter of one question - "is it worth it?"

TurboTrucker · 03-05-2004, 04:58 AM

I'd lose some k, but I am waiting for the $ to go up,up,up.

Centurion · 03-05-2004, 05:25 AM

Hard to believe that PayPal WOULD ever close up shop.
What with being owned by Ebay and everything and man..Ebay is where the action is these days! (outside of the adult market that is).

Roald · 03-05-2004, 05:34 AM

I always empty it when it's $500 or higher. So that will cost me about $350 now

Why do you empty it when it's $500 or higher?

Seb From Holland · 03-05-2004, 05:47 AM

Probably due to the risk of losing the money because Paypal does not allow Adult transactions, even though lots of peopl in the Adult industry still use Paypal for transactions.

Vitasoy · 03-05-2004, 05:49 AM

Hmm, maybe a few

I don't leave much in paypal.

chemicaleyes · 03-05-2004, 06:24 AM

$200-300 at the moment.

Wizzo · 03-05-2004, 06:27 AM

about $2.20 from netpond posting...

=^..^= · 03-05-2004, 06:32 AM

only a few dollars - I dont keep money in paypal since day 1 because their TOA always said that they close your account at any time for no reason and keep your money
(it pays to read TOA's)

but I'd be more worried about how I was going to receieve payments in the future
so in the long term i'd loose a shit load

robin r · 03-05-2004, 06:35 AM

I've had my paypal account suspended and reactivated 3 or 4 times now, and that's it for me, they just won't reopen it again, all 'cos of 'adult use' that's buying content, hosting, programming... If you don't run on empty, start now, if they do suspend your account, it's up to 180 days before you get your cash back...

Be Aware!

Same happened when they closed our account. I reckon as they were charging 4.5% and others are charging 10% plus holding money back for 6 months they were not so bad to deal with.

born4porn · 03-05-2004, 06:46 AM

about $400 I try not to keep too much in there.

steffie · 03-05-2004, 07:32 AM

Paypal closed our account over night last year, we had 3k in it. I almost choked.

Now with the new account I clean it out everytime it hits around 100 dollars

Better safe than sorry, it took 6 month for us to get the money last time and than they lost they check. When we contacted them about the lost check we made arragments to send it directly into our account instead sending a check. That took another 2 month.

Pulling teeth urgh

init · 03-05-2004, 07:35 AM

id lose maybe $50, i try to never leave any $ in paypal

Paul Waters · 03-05-2004, 08:10 AM

<500

I pay for small stuff through them, and collect some money through them.

Can't count on them for adult stuff at all, of course.

Edit Video · 03-05-2004, 08:12 AM

Adultnet · 03-05-2004, 09:56 AM

around 500-600 usd

tony286 · 03-05-2004, 10:00 AM

Cindyff · 03-05-2004, 10:08 AM

A big fat zero, i dont trust assholes to look after my money

AaronM · 03-05-2004, 10:08 AM

$8562.79

This is an interesting question though. I transfered the full balance to my checking account yesterday but during the 3-4 day process...If they closed, would I lose that money?

Manowar · 03-05-2004, 10:10 AM

I'd loose about $600, better clear it out now you have reminded me
