    Any opinions on Paypal for receiving funds?

    Hey everyone - we're thinking of using Paypal to accept funds on our traffic trading site. Does anyone have any opinion on this? I've heard some strange things about them but don't know what to believe. And thoughts appreciated.
    oh one last thing - anyone want to sell or buy traffic icq (298787953) me and you can trial our amazing new traffic marketplace!

        If you do use them, tell everyone sending money to you to not mention any adult urls or terms in their payment info.

        Also transfer your funds electronically to your bank account often.

        But chances are that one day they will freeze your account.

          Paypal is also talking about charging a hefty fine if you're caught. So use them with much caution.

            I would use epassporte
            I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
            I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

              The way I see it is that Paypal has "gone Christian".

              That means that they don't want anything to do with adult or gambling.

              They shut your account because they can.

              In a nutshell, they freak out first and ask questions later. Often leaving you with little or no recourse and with your funds lost.

              When in doubt, stay out.

              Avoid paypal like the plague.
              SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
