I have been waiting for the Paypal axe to fall on me but so far so good.
Of course I never leave any moneys in Paypal

Sorry to hear that DH , shit we were only talking about it last week, its a good thing you didnt have the amounts in there that you mentioned

what about ikobo I use them to pay my out of the country people but I would not trust then with more that a couple of hunderd dollars because I can get any one on the phone.

DH, isnt the bill actually higher because of the recurring lost?

I had 2 accounts closed.. they were nice but
now they suck dirty buttholes!

I lost 3k in recurring 1 year ago, man...

probably better you got shutdown sooner than later

Mines been closed for WELL over $180 , no cheque , no hope .. fuck paypal .

Sorry to hear that buddy. :ak47: Paypal

yeah, that's stupid.. it's not like people are buying porn through paypal.

btw, is it just me or is epassport down?

--edit --

Nevermind... forgot the e at the end of epassporte.com

Don't they hold onto your money for a long time before giving it back?

No, their policy is to send it to you after a 180 day hold (assuming no fraud...) so get in touch with them about that.

180 days seems long to me

:2 cents:

Still waiting to get mine closed. I don't have a porn address or pay peeps with porn addys.
Question, I wonder if they found someone, say for example a TGP that takes paid spots thru Paypal, if they close the TGP account, will they close all Paypal accounts that has transferred money to to that TGP?

Which is the daft thing about it. It's not actually against their terms to do so but doesn't stop them closing accounts for no real justification. These days it just takes someone with an e-mail addy connected to an adult domain to send/receive money to/from you and you're fucked.

Amazes me that paypal get away with a lot of the crap they do (and they do pull some VERY dodgy shit) yet are still so big. Part of the problem I suppose is that for many there still isn;t a good alternative. Epassporte for example is very limited in many areas if you want to do stuff other than just move money around to other epassporte account holders.

I dont understand people that let money sit in these things. In the old I had a boss that would call it slapping the check, as soon as the checks came in theey went to the bank. With paypal I do the same thing as soon as the money hits the account its transfered. I only keep $20 in there any thing over that is transfer the minute it come in.

Must been a sucky day for ya DH :thumbsup

finally had mine shut down but they supposedly sent a check within a week with the balance to my US address.

yeah im interested in that question also. Because some people might also use paypal to buy stuff off eBay

I was told by paypal that they can shut you down if there's a link on your site that goes to a site that breaks their terms of use..

they're desparate

I keep getting mails from sponsors that switch from PayPal to Epassporte coz they got shut down... why isn't any sponsor using moneybookers yet? They have a pretty solid system in place.

I've used them for a lot of transactions in the past and they always came thru... even phone support is incredible.

If you've never used them how in the hell do you know they suck:1orglaugh

Because is a big fucking difference between Epassporte and Moneybookers. With Epass you can withdraw your funds instant from ATM without having to wait for wire transfer.

:Graucho

why dont you just use Western union.....you can draw the money within a FLASH from the nearest agent :thumbsup

are you crazy? western union? for $16k of daily transactions? LOL

i dunno about that
I used to allow other webmasters to use my paypal ccount for above said board - and my account never got closed.
sure you're site doesnt accidently link to adult?
you do run design site

we are NO LONGER making payments to our affiliates with paypal just a reminder :Graucho

Hey DrinkingHard!

They froze our account with ~5k in it (yes, only time I left more than 100bucks in there) aswell. After 6 months of waiting BBB fixed the issue in 3 days!:thumbsup

I'll be a happy man the day I consider $8k not a big deal...

the wire transfer takes about 24 hours to show up in your account so it isn't such a big deal IMO. It does make the system very solid but on the other hand I do like epassporte and their ATM system.

Limitations like receiving/making 5 payments a day etc. are a bit primitive though, and outside the adult industry epass isn't well-known at all.

:(

Mine was shutdown and the amount inside was issued to me in under a week.

i'm going to be mighty pissed when and if my account gets shut down.

:)

:thumbsup

western union is a fucking rip-off

:glugglug

they also shut our account down earlier this month. we only used it to pay webmasters and models. never accepted paypal for payments from customers. so its not really adult high risk transactions of any kind. they said they would send a check within 2 weeks. I sent them an email back but of course they didnt respond.

however we never kept money in the account. they account was just tied to the biz checking account to take out whatever money needed from there for the bi-weekly payrun.
all models and webmasters who used paypal will be auto-switched to check payment until we are setup with epassporte and moneybrokers and whatever else is out there to reliable pay affiliates/models.
