Can you believe this, after asking for approval of my website to avoid any possible problems with PayPal,  their software I suppose, flagged my account, result two days after providing PayPal as a way to pay on my site they limited my account.

Although I tried to explain them I received an ok from them they still hide behind nameless standard replies and are unwilling to unlock the account until 180 days have passed. The only reason according to me my account got flagged was suddenly increased activity possible from people with a bad track record with PayPal. That alone is enough to get your account frozen and no matter what you say or ask they won’t unlock it.

After looking for more info on the internet I came across hundreds of stories of people who had the same thing happening to them. The more I read the more convinced I am that PayPal is to be avoided at all cost especially for people selling something, the buyers are in general  safe with PayPal.

Please check out :

I now switched to:

  • AlertPay

  • MoneyBookers

  • e-gold

    • Of course we do not know how safe these are but it’s always a good idea to spread your funds over more than one paymentprocessor.
