Have you ever had your account closed or suspended by Paypal?
 

If so, what was the reason?


I'm running a mainstream business with Paypal as a payment option, and it's doing well. A lot of business goes through them, thankfully there have been no problems so far. However, there are a lot of negative stories out there. The account has been emptied every day so that if they can it for a stupid reason, the impact will be minimal. But then... I wonder if they will suspend an account for making too many withdrawals...

I been using paypal as a payment method for my business for many years and never had any problems.

i did.
too many transactions with emails linked to adult domains.

Mine was closed for trying to add too much money into paypal.

If anything makes them think that you are doing adult business of any sort. they will freeze the account. they say that they will pay out if there are not disputes for the money, but it took me 6 months to get my money.

We were using them to do memberships for our adult sites. When they suspended it they said that it was for suspicious behavior. We asked what it was, and they told us that if we faxed them a copy of our bank statment, then they would unfreeze the account. We asked several time what we had done and the only answer they gave was to send the bank statment.

I tolf the guy to go fuck himself.

6 months later we got out money.

Paypal is geh....Haven't you people learned this yet?

Mine is currently "under review".
I was asked to show them what I'm using it for.

Weird, but nice to have the warning before they shut it down.

yeah like a week ago.

paypal will never close my account, they make to much $ from their dam fees on me.

Hmmmm what's so gay about paypal?

It's very easy and quick way to recieve payments online.

about 15 different paypal accounts

key is to nto have ANY incoming or outgoing to adult domains, and always have multiple accounts ready, just incase you have one cloed, you can easily switch over

:helpme :thumbsup

Fight the powers that be :BangBang:

One of my 'personal' adult domains was hooked up with paypal. They shut my account down, but for some strange reason they sent all the funds to my Bank Account first :thumbsup

once :mad:

Not yet, but it will probably happen sooner or later.

Paypal will eventually shut down all accounts owned by adult webmasters; it's just a matter of time.

Our corporate account was shut down about a month ago, and our Paypal rep made it clear that they do not want anything to do with the adult biz. I believe that they are coming under pressure from both VISA and their corporate parent, ebay.

You might as well get use to this, and move on to other payment processors that actually want our business, like moneybookers.com or epassporte.

I had my paypal account suspended. Luckily I withdrew most of the money like two days before. There was about $100 dollars when they shut it down. I was told that they would release the money in 6 months. I was closed down because I was selling adult videos.

nope

I got shut down because people were joining up through
