Wow what did you do?

@Haxk20 no i haven't

So, what did you do?
I’ve seen many people banned and it’s usually something you would rather not disclose

@Clear0Ff i don't give a sht. i hope u don't experience this

@nikolatesla well , that's nice of you! Ty and i feel sorry

Have you had money in your paypal?

@C0D4 I simply get paid there from my shirt business from print-on-demand sites (redubble teepublic merch by amazon etc). that must be evil then?

Was Your PayPal Account Limited or Locked for reasons without merit? If so, you may be surprised to learn that PayPal intentionally Limits and Locks Customer Accounts, making funds inaccessible for up to 180 days in order to invest frozen funds in short-term portfolios.

PayPal Announced Earnings of $200 Million for the three months ending June 30, 2014 which includes interest earned on Limited or Locked PayPal Accounts. What this means is that any PayPal Account Holder with funds unwittingly held in a limited or locked account from March 2014 to June 2014 bankrolled a portion of PayPal’s investments resulting in a whopping $200 Million profit. Adding insult to injury, PayPal refuses to distribute a portion of the interest earned back to the Account Holders whose frozen funds are largely responsible for PayPal’s 200 million-dollar profit.

This isn’t a new practice by PayPal, who continues to monopolize the online payment processing market, but now that they are the cash cow for parent company, Ebay, Consumers can expect that more accounts will continue to be unreasonably Locked or Limited while their frozen funds will be invested for PayPal’s gain. The primary online payment service for selling on EBay is PayPal, which has monopolized the online auction market and placed unnecessary restrictions on Seller Accounts by holding funds for up to 180 days. This is not only unfair and unethical, but it is an abuse of power, monopolizes online payment options, discourages a healthy online market and it is pitting consumers against corporations.

Furthermore, thousands of paycheck-to-paycheck or unemployed Americans utilize EBay as a means to supplement income so they do not have to rely on government assistance, but PayPal is punishing people who want to earn money online by limiting account access for 180 days. It affects all classes, employed or not. I experienced PayPal's ability to deplete a bank account within one hour while unemployed last fall. I could have supplemented my income with my EBay earnings. Instead, I was forced to draw unemployment while looking for a job because PayPal froze my account, which suspended my EBay account and disabled my ability to sell online. I received a check for my account balance, minus a $1.50 processing fee, 210 days after my account was frozen. Upon further investigation, I was shocked to learn that my money helped PayPal earn millions in interest; yet, I didn’t receive a piece of the pie.

There are thousands of people with similar stories and every signature tells a story. Please sign the petition today to stop PayPal’s 180-Day Hold policy and their ability to Limit Consumer Accounts and freeze user funds.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

@nikolatesla that seems like a safe income, now think where do you spend it.

@C0D4 rarely. sometimes I buy things like phone chargers or USB cables online.

I got my account locked when they found out I breached their community guideline (made. My account before I was 18,but I got limited at 19)

You can call them, they'll tell you to create a new account with legitimate details and they'll transfer remaining funds from the old account to the new one.

If you are unsure why you got limited, just call them and ask.

@FMashiro lol had exactly the same here ;)

What illicit activity did you get up to?

😙📌

@nikolatesla I am glad someone else understands the scope of this issue and is helping spread the knowledge. I have heard too many stories about this to hang any money invested in PayPal and their shady schemes.

PayPal is whack

Fuck mate, good luck with that!

@Condor you probably violated the community agreement in which it states you agree to enter fully correct info...

You think you've got it bad? Here's what my PayPal account looks like.

@DuckyMcDuckFace how

@Condor very true, valsheid in geschrifte is a serious offense in the Netherlands too.

I imagine you can try to contact support again, I had the same issue, and they were able to unlink my bank account.
Maybe you had bad luck with the rep you got :)

Honestly. Fuck PayPal. I had an issue with them recently and after countless messages of me saying "but like, that's not what I asked or even my issue tho..."

They literally said welp if you wanna close your account let me know and I'll help with that

@DuckyMcDuckFace How does that even happen??

@inpothet @arjaycodes sold something to a guy over PayPal then he preformed a chargeback and got back his money. Obviously PayPal isn't going to take the loss themselves so they passed the debt onto me.

tl;dr: don't sell stuff over PayPal.

Any good alternative to PayPal?

@sefaiba for what? If you just need to send your friends money you could use Google Pay or Apple Pay.

@DuckyMcDuckFace For business, getting random payments for products or services, should someone be using PayPal or there is a better alternative for such needs?

@sefaiba as far as I know PayPal is the easiest to integrate. However there are quite a few credit card processors around like Stripe.

@DuckyMcDuckFace thanks for the info

Alipay is getting a thing to

Alipay is live already, for businesses.
Mollie is recommended for Benelux, for taking payments, too.

Go Bitcoin/ETH, or go to any other public -but local- service out there, or see consequences.

Also, receiving money for services: BUSINESS! You need to be a company in some way or another. Remember that for Paypal, and you'll be fine.

@xewl appreciate the info. thanks!
