For some unknown 'security reason' paypal suddenly stopped accepting my visa cards for payments.
The funny part is that nobody there can tell me what the problem is or do something about it. It all controlled by the system and the system makes its own decisions nobody can interfere with. Reminds me all this sci-fi movies where computers take over the world.
:arcadefreak:
anybody else have this bullshit?

The paypal has "seventh sense technology:thefinger:" system human can't understand even paypal programmer.
 
Paypal is a bunch of bullshit. I was spending (not receiving) like $3k/day with my account and they banned me because I was too much of a risk for them. This was after I had to sending in documents 10,000 times to confirm it was my account/my funding. The couldn't even give me a real reason why I was banned. What a joke.
 
Had my account frozen for 9 months with about $8k in it and then they booted me. I didn't do anything wrong and had proof of all the transactions. Fuck Paypal
 
Paypal is a huge pain in the ass. Sent documents 5x and still didn't get it resolved.

Like the above poster mentioned, they have no real competitor, so they can get away with this.
 
Dont even waste your time with them. Learn and live, and move on. There's now google checkout, amazon checkout and many shopping carts now even offer merchant accounts as well if you don't have one.
 
they froze $1000 dollars of mine, so i wrote a few of the high up guys an email that said I was going to file a complaint with the state attorney general and accused them of acting like a bank, etc...

i got a call within an hour of sending the email, they promptly unfroze my account and even sent me a nifty pen/usb flashdrive as an apology, lol.

Were you on a VPN when you made a transaction? It sets off red flags cause you aren't charging it from the location you reside from.

Haha that's epic!
 
LOL then my thing is a joke... I've been fighting with Paypal and eBay over $140. Finally got it resolved yesterday. You just gotta get ahold of the right rep.
 
google checkout is even worse, btw there is no such thing as resolving in google checkout, you just get totally banned with a final withdrawl from your linked bank account and cannot even see your transaction history.
 
The actual reason for this activities is "paypals headweight" because there is no competitor who offers service throughout the world like them and there is no opt service alternative for paypal.

Agreed! Maybe a competitor will come along in the future.
 
Paypal is the worst. I only use their service to send money at this point. Doesnt really matter what you do they'll eventually only disrupt your business.
 
exactly the same shit happened to me 2 months back.. tried calling their customer care and regular emails but nothing good.. So i dissolved that account and created new.. It working good now.. However i'm also creating accounts on other services too.. Paypal proved so bad at times..
 
I agree they are fucking useless. Got an account frozen atm and they cannot unfreeze. Apparently it is due to random visa verifications. Like a random fraud check.. I call bullshit. They call not our problem
