I Am Totally SCREWED!!!!!!!!!!!! I Might As Well Just Give Up!!

Alright Warriors

You're going to have to bear with me because I am seriously having one of those days, where I'm thinking whats the sodding point. You Just Might As Will Give Up Completely If You Are Not Allowed To Use Paypal To Accept Payments from customers.

I was just in the process of setting up two websites, one was going to be a coaching website and another was going to be sort of a deal blog/website

My Paypal got permantly shut down two years ago. So I can never use them ever again. However alot of membership scripts, affiliate based comission compays (JVZOO) uses paypal..

I know there are merchant account but most of them wants to charge something per month to use. But as yet I don't have any members etc...

2checkout now doesn't allow you to sell ebooks/videos that you have got resale rights to..

I know I need something that will even still accept payments from people using paypal.

Btw I am based in the UK

I'm just having a nightmare at the moment.. I want to get things finally up and runnning by the weekend.. But now I'm feeling not a chance..

      For the same reason he can't use 2Checkout, I think: it seems he just has "resale rights" to whatever he's hoping to sell.

      You might be able to use "ClickSure", though, Byron, if you're willing to do business with them: they're based in China and seem to accept absolutely anything and everything that other networks won't touch for a variety of ethical/legal/other reasons (which may be why they've had their own PayPal account limited).Could be worth investigating, though? Good luck!

        So what. Cough up the $50 and write it off as a business expense.

        There fees are higher than many, but they handle all of the tax BS for your affiliates and they accept paypal. So it's well worth it.

        They pay on time all the time, which I can't say for many other affiliate programs.

        And they have a very large pool of affiliates.

      Hey Byron,

      I know that feeling of "I HAVE to launch my site by X date"

      Sometimes for me it is so intense, it shuts me off to "answers"

      It's like, there could be a tidal wave coming, but I've just gotta get my site "Live"

      There are ways around your situation..

      What about a paypal account using another member of your family's name..

      I recently opened a paypal account here in the UK (2 months ago) and managed
      to jump through all their hoops to get it verified so I could receive payments with no limits in 2 working days..

      Hang in there mate and NEVER give up..

        My wife has got a unverified paypal account at the moment. We can only buy stuff not accept payments at the moment. However to start accepting payments we would need to upgrade to either business or premier account.. But I am wondering if we do that will paypal limit the account because of my account got closed down 2 years ago?? Will not be using the account to sell on ebay at all. Just on my two websites...

        I'm not sure if Paypal will my wife's account to be verified and then start accepting payments because of my account be closed/banned.. Even though we won't be selling anything on ebay at all. Just from the two websites..

        Don't want to ruin my wife name and account.. So that's why I am bit nervous to go ahead and upgrade her account to business

          In that case my suggestion probably isn't your best option, as I don't know how linked your wife's Credit/Debit card and your Credit/Debit cards on your banking accounts are..

          You could however, have her open another account with a new bank and use the card with that account to open a new paypal account..

          I know it will take you a bit longer to do this, but that way you would have a paypal account and she would not be risking hers..

            Well she has got her own card and her own account in her own right.. Its with the same bank as me. The same address as I live at, same surname as me..

              I still wouldn't risk it with the same surname, because she wants to use it for ebay.

              I'd take the slower path and get her a new bank account and card,
              rather than take a chance/risk and paypal shut her down
              because then not only have you got no paypal account again, you also have an upset misuses.

              And that would NOT be good especially,
              when you take into consideration how much ladies like to shop.

              I've never had any trouble with paypal, but I do have the opinion of
              "they are necessary evil" just like banks are in the offline world.

              So I tend to have their ethics, principles and practices on a short leash
              and not trust them too much.

              I know it's a pain in the butt for ya.

              Other than that, I see there has been quite a few posts about clickbank.

              Maybe they might be a quick fix until you find a more longer term solution.

    Are you saying your account was not only shut down but you are also permanently banned from PayPal?? Is that even possible? You can't open another account?

        Do you have any friends who could become your business partner?

        Of course, finding someone you trust can be problematic, but if you do find someone there are various plus points - Two sets of ideas, accountability and your partner being able to accept Paypal.

        Hi Alexa,
        I'm not sure it is common. Sorry to disagree.

        Back to OP.

        I have had three paypal accounts. This is because I had, until recently, an offline business. I sold two products online that my company manufactured. They each had their own account. All three accounts needed their own UK bank account to link with. If you run an offline business in the UK you will already have at least three bank accounts

        So my first advice would be. Go and open a new paypal account and make sure the UK bank account you link to is different to the one you used in the first place. It would be even better if you related this to an ebay account as well.

        Secondly. I think Nat West are doing a special deal with merchant accounts for online transactions at this moment in time. So it might be worth checking that out.

        KenJ

                    Byron, anyone that tells me there's nothing wrong with charging a monthly fee to access a collection of MRR stuff, whether that was your original intention or not, is someone I don't trust enough to buy anything from. Period.

                      I think you are little bit confused.. I am not setting up a membership site where I am offering people to download MRR/RR/PLR products at all.....

                        But do you call it a coaching program?

                        I know Byron has clarified that he didn't intend to sell memberships to a site filled with MRR stuff he's accumulated. He made the comment I quoted before clarifying.

                        If you are saying that you run a site that charges a monthly access fee to a collection of MRR stuff under the guise of a "coaching program", I'll gladly add you to the list.

                        If you offer that collection AS A COLLECTION, everything transparent and the buyer knows what he's getting before putting his money down, I agree - nothing illegal or unethical about it.

                        So, do I add you to the list, or not? :confused:

                            Sounds like different sites to me as well. I still hope the guy coaching has more to offer judging from this post. :confused:

                            OP, if this will make you "give up" then you should just give up. There will be plenty of problems that you will need to fix without needing to get all dramatic. You certainly shouldn't be coaching others if you are easily derailed from your goals.

                            That is what we do... Otherwise everyone would be a self employed millionaire.

              Byron, some tips from me to you.

              1) Forget the coaching site all together. The fact that your asking all these questions and that you have not been active for 2 years (what ever the reason) shows me that you should not be coaching.

              2) Forget the PLR /MRR stuff. Though some people may like it, in my experience its either old, outdated, poorly written or all ready everywhere, or all of the above. I wouldnt give most of that stuff to my list for free let alone try to charge for it.

              3) Create your own product, build a list, get experience.

            I agree with you! I have never paid for any coaching and I never will!

            To the OP, I suggest you set up a new site where you "coach" people and teach them the one thing you seem to know, which is: How To Get Banned From Paypal!

            Provide this service for free, as you don't have a way of taking payments! This way you can really share your experience and knowledge and potentially help people so they don't end up in a situation you are in.

          I agree. I have opened and transacted on two Paypal accounts linking to different email, banking and mailing details. Each served a different objective. One is business and the other is personal nature. Regardless of the purpose the process is the same.

          Yes - sometimes greatly so. And for understandable reasons: naturally enough (as with absolutely anything in which fiduciary responsibility is involved, surely?!) it would be totally against the terms of service.

      That is awful advice.

      In 99% of the cases there is always a reason why you get banned, shut down, closed, excommunicated or in any other way cast out from something. You broke the rules. tried to shortcut, game a system or simply didn't take the time to LEARN the rules and fumbled your way to a ban.

      Using someone else- specially a relative - as a workaround is pure egoism. What happens when the ban hits them by your actions? (yes it will happen again)

      This is the same mentality where people take credits on their kids because they can't get their own (for good reason).

      Couldn't you form your business into an LLC and then open a business account with the business name/EIN number? That would not really be in "your" name and it would prevent a friend or family member from having your income look like their income when tax time rolls around.

    You have been banned from Paypal for 2 years, but your setting up a coaching website. So if you plan on doing coaching Im going to assume that you must have been doing IM during the last 2 years right? So what have you been using? Use that. Or are you just planning on having a coaching website when you have done nothing for the last 2 years?

    I'm a little confused how someone who is going to offer coaching (to ANY community) cannot afford the $5-$30/mo for a merchant account?

    But anyway... I use stripe.com and it works quite well.

    Here's a little chart of the "free" (no monthly payment, processors I came up with)

    Code:
    Processor                            Percentage	                 Plus Transaction Fee
    Payza (AlertPay)                   2.50%                        $0.25 
    Stripe.com                           2.90%                        $0.30 
    Google Checkout                   2.90%                        $0.30 
    Paypal	                         2.90%                        $0.30 
    RegNow (mycommerce.com)    4.90%                        $1.00 
    2Checkout (2co.com)             5.50%                        $0.45 
    Clickbank                             7.50%                         $1.00

    Just about everyone that does enough business eventually gets hit with the paypal ban. The company is borderline illegal with their business practices. However unfortunately they are still a necessity to get your full potential out of a pay website.

    I've been banned several times but that does not stop me from getting new accounts. And I do not feel one iota of guilt for doing it. Because I did not do anything wrong in the first place to deserve a ban. A Majority of their bans happen when you have a sudden influx of business. It's like an automatic software trigger, and it's complete BS. Plus when they do ban you or suspend your account, they hold your funds for up to 6 months, which in the real banking world IS illegal.

    So no, I absolutely have no problem circumventing their rules - because they circumvent the rules themselves.

    The best way to do it is to get a business license or some form of tax ID for your business. I don't know how they do it in the UK - but here in Illinois we can apply for a tax ID number online free of charge - and you can get one new one every day. Then you go to paypal and get a business account. Then you'll also have to change your physical address. There are many places online where you can rent temporary mailing addresses. And then finally you'll need to change your computer's IP address from the one that you used for your previous paypal accounts. You can usually do this by resetting your modem - but you'll have to check this on your own system.

    There are a few things they usually track to link accounts together, they are:
    -Physical Address
    -Tax ID number
    -IP Address
    -Any credit cards or bank accounts linked to the account

    Right now I'm on my 4th paypal account and this one has been going strong now for probably 5 years. It's a pain in the rear, but you learn to live with it.

          Ok first of all go and read whats going on with cryptocurrencys then look at how many coiners and websites are using it to make $$ in diff ways. Then do it yourself, Its new and there are a lot of opportunities with this. There is always a way bud you just gotta look at it from a diff angle. Paypal can pull an account on anybody when ever they want, with cryptocurrencys that cant happen. Just take a look on the bitcoin forum and look for new ways to monetise cryptocoins or copy something which is allready been done but do it better.

          PS: if you decide to have a go just make sure you encrypt your wallet no matter which currency you try. And make sure you keep your PC free of viruses

    After reading this thread, I seriously hope you reconsider offering "coaching" when you don't even have $50 to open a Clickbank account.

    Save up $50, open a Clickbank account, sell some of your products and once you've made a few hundred thousand you could consider offering coaching. I know the WF mentality is for any idiot to create a "product" but it's not a good idea to charge people for coaching if you can't even figure out how to process payments.

        You can use Clickbank to sell one time products as well, while still being able to accept Paypal payments. If that doesn't work out for you, you can always trying setting up your own merchant account.

    It's really easy to get another or multiple paypal account - all you need is a new bank account coop etc, a new email address and a new mobile telephone number.

    I found that I needed a new account when I got scammed on ebay and it was not difficult to setup first I got the new ebay account and then I got the new paypal account.

    Kind regards

        Not really ... legitimate businesses who merely have "high risk" products will have holds placed on their account, this could be as little as a few hundred bucks or as much as $100K, but it's all relative to how many transactions you're doing and what the risk is. Other than the percentage they're holding, you still have access to the rest of your money. That happens all the time. Getting "banned" from PayPal is a different story, it means you did something that was wrong enough that they didn't want anything to do with you or your money.

    If you are serious about making money, you should know that you need to spend money to make money.

    You say that people get banned from PayPal all the time for various reasons. True. However, many people who get Limited get limited because they will not prove who they are to Paypal. Most people who get banned for life present a serious threat of fraud or financial loss to PayPal.

    I want to give you the benefit of a doubt, but it seems hard to do with what you have so far presented. Exactly what kind of coaching do you plan on offering to people? And, are you qualified to offer that kind of coaching?

    I second using Clickbank. I use it for my membership site and it works great! The fees are similar to those charged by PayPal and Clickbank has really cleaned up their image.

    The $50 is a one time fee (if you do a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc account there is a discount) and it's worth it as they handle all the tax info, pay the affiliates, and deposit directly to your bank account each week (if you set up direct deposit).

    If you are banned from PayPal - then CB kinda feels like your best option.

    Cheers,

    Have you looked into Google Checkout, Payza or any of the other payment processors?

    There are plenty out there, and using Google Checkout won't ruin your reputation like some others may. How about a JVZoo or WarriorPlus button?

    If none of the other options to process payments work for you, then get another account.

    What would you tell a client if they said they're trying to sell products but their paypal account got shut down? Follow that same advice.

      Google checkout is changing over to something else, correct??

    Why is this thread even this long?

    The answer is simple:

    1. Use friend or relative to open account under their name (and geez don't f#(% them over)
    2. Incorporate your business (cheap in most countries) and get a business account.

    /thread.

        If you don't continue to violate the terms/conditions that got you banned in the first place with a new account, when your wife verifies her account there will be no problems at all.

        Ideally you would want to use a different bank account though if you guys have a joint one. That's more than easy to do and it is worth setting up a different account for your business anyway.

      Thankyou. Glad it weren't just me.

      Too many excuses, and blaming of external factors.. The phrase 'Nut up, or shut up' comes to mind.

        I suggest exploring writing up your own product then you can circumvent the problems with the alternative payment processors.

        Before that though, you need to get your head in gear, keep it positive and don't stop until it's done.

    Try ClickBank? Don't worry, I'm sure there are solutions. Like someone suggested before, maybe aks somebody else close to you to open a PayPal account that you can use to receive your payments from customers.

    Wanted to chime in quickly and say that I think you should consider the advice to at first launch a Clickbank product of your own while you are figuring out how to get another Verified Paypal account. You have to keep moving forward regardless of Paypal I also would suggest looking at Clicksure as well but they are not as good a platform as Clickbank. It is always preferable to own and sell your OWN products and not as difficult as you think! Also, if you haven't already done this, put together a written business and marketing plan complete with milestones, budgets, goals, strategies, etc. PM me if you would like an outline of successful ones I have done as an example Good luck!

    To get another Paypal account, use another business license/entity/ban account or partner with a friend, business partner, relative, or family member. Of course, they should be trustworthy and you need to explain your business to them. You may even want to offer them a percentage of your profits.
