PayPal with WSO question

by JD Jens
8 replies
I've seen horror stories in the past from WSO posters where PayPal saw a sudden rush of deposits into an account, saw it as different from the norm, and then put a hold on the account, effectively halting the WSO offer in the process...

My question is why does this happen and what can be done to avoid it.

Also, any other PayPal advice greatly appreciated. I'm about to run first WSO and want things to run as smoothly as possible.

    About a week before I'm ready to launch something I call them
    and let them know what's about to happen. They put a note on
    the account so anyone looking into the sudden increase can see
    that I called and told them it was about to happen.

    I've been with Pay Pal for about 15 years and have never had a single problem.

    I just had a recent problem. I had thought my account was on hold, but it was a charge that was on hold due to insufficient funds. Later, another person claimed that someone else had used their account and was doing a charge back. Regardless, Paypal has not frozen my account and all is well. I have heard of horror stories, but Tsnyder gives the best advice. Just alert them before a possible surge in sales and all should be fine.

    As per the comments already made, just get in touch with them and advise that you are expected a larger than normal transaction volume. If they dont know its coming they might get a little suspect and halt your account or something like that. Just keep them informed and you should be right - same goes with Clickbank and other payment processors.

    It's good to hear that not everybody experiences problems with paypal.

    It seems like everyday there is someone who has something bad to say about them.

    However, I guess it's always best to let them know what's coming.

    Yes, let them know before hand that you're expecting some rush in funds into your account. But if it's a digital product you're selling for your WSO, why don't you use Clickbank. Otherwise, use 2Checkout.
    Good luck!

    PayPal has definitely cut me off in the middle of a successful week. I still use them because they are a necessary evil.

    I might suggest using click bank or another payment processor as they might be a little bit more risk-averse than PayPal.
