My PayPal Account is Suspended, How can I receive money from service on the Warrior For Hire?

by Freelancing10
42 replies
The title pretty much asks the questions. My paypal account has been suspended. How can I accept payments through a different source on this forum, that people will want to do.

Most people here have paypal, does that mean that I am screwed?

    Why have Paypal suspended you? Have you talked to them? Perhaps you could get the account reinstated which would be the best solution for you. If it's something simple like you didn't warn them in advance of a large upswing in your sales on a new product launch, they're usually quite accommodating.

    DO you not have someone that you trust with a Paypal account you could use? that is the easiest. The other option is opening a 2checkout or Plimus account which accepts paypal on your behalf.

    I don't think they need a good reason and often they don't listen to your argument. Sure there are many people who have successfully had their account reinstated, but there are also many people who have found that once Paypal made up their mind that was it.

    I think the only way around it if you still want to accept paypal is to go through 2checkout. It's unfortunate and it costs more to go through 2checkout but it might be your best option.

      I can't imagine running a successful business with such an attitude.

      The fact is, nine times out of ten, when people fess up about the reasons, it's almost ALWAYS because they violated one of PayPal's AUP terms.

      Their AUP is like a driver's license manual. Don't read it at your own peril. But if you end up getting your license suspended for something you should have known about, you have no right to complain. Simply throwing up your arms and saying, "Oh well! I'm screwed!" isn't exactly a recipe for success.

      I think if PayPal were smart, they'd slap 10% fees on all transactions until you've passed a detailed questionnaire about their AUP. So few people read it, and the vast majority of people who get their accounts frozen squeal like stuck pigs, yet never bother to find out what REALLY happened or why.

      That attitude just seems totally ridiculous to me. It's like getting into a car, putting on a blindfold, then going for a drive. It's inevitable you're going to hit SOMETHING unexpected sooner or later!

      So ... then you complain ... why?

      At the risk of overdoing the analogies ... a business is like a garden. Sometimes there's an unexpected turn in the weather; but most of the time, the results you get are 100% your own doing -- or not-doing.

      There are far too many people who have no problems at all with their PayPal accounts for such a tiny minority to scream so loudly about how unfair PayPal is.

        David I'm not just guessing and complaining about something that 'could' happen. I know this happens, I know that they close people's accounts and often for no good reason.

        How about the number of accounts that have been closed for using Jon Legers $7 script. Although newer versions of the script are now ok, the older versions Paypal said they were associated with pyramid schemes and people had their accounts closed because of it. I know people that this happened to and Paypal would not even listen to them. They did not break Paypal terms as the $7 script was not a pyramid scheme at all and yet Paypal would not listen!

        I am NOT complaining about things that 'DON'T happen' these things DO happen and I know that for a fact! So please don't come in here and tell me that every paypal account that has ever been closed has been because they broke the rules and my attitude is wrong. You obviously don't have all the facts of all the people that have had these bad experiences with Paypal.

        It is NOTHING like getting in a car with a blindfold and going for a drive - that analogy is completely ridiculous as even if I did just have an attitude for no reason, the analogy is not even remotely similar.

          So, people don't kill, it's the knife or gun that's to blame?

          Come on!

          Nothing about the script has changed. It's how it was promoted.

          The problem Jon had with that marketing effort was the way he encouraged people to sign up as affiliates primarily for the purpose of earning money promoting it. THAT is a violation of PayPal's AUP!

          "Earn 100% commissions by promoting this script!" THAT is an "opportunity"! It's NOT a "product".

          Yes, you're absolutely right. These things DO happen!

          In fact, PayPal has a long history of shutting down accounts for people who put up sites that promote any kind of "opportunity", rather than just a "product". It's not limited to the $7 Secrets Script. If you mention your affiliate program anywhere on your sales page (other than a simple link at the very bottom), you stand a fair chance of getting your PayPal account frozen.

          It's a violation of their AUP.

          You're welcome to scream and holler about how unfair they are all you want.

          If you promote your affiliate program on your sales page, you're running a BIG risk of getting shut down. It's that simple.

          It happens to people with RAP sites. They get enamored with 100% commission promotions and get overly enthusiastic about them. Next thing you know, BLAM! Their PayPal account is frozen.

          An affiliate program is an "opportunity" in PayPal's eyes. And if you don't know their policy around that, then you're driving with a blindfold on.

          People who used the $7 script got shut down in droves for the same reason: they copied the original too closely. And the original promoted the affiliate program as a means of making money, rather than the script itself. (If you aren't clear about the distinction, you should curl up with a copy of the book, "Godel, Escher, Bach".)

          When the message was changed, people stopped running into trouble with it.

          If you don't mention your affiliate program until people get to your download page (after they've already made their purchase), there's no question about what you're promoting.

          Now, that said, we STILL do not know WHY the OP got his PayPal account suspended. But it wouldn't surprise me if it was b/c he talked about his affiliate program on his sales page.

    Was your account Verified or not?

    I know people who get their accounts "limited" until they provided some proof about sales, who they are etc.

    If your account is not "verified", even $100 sale can shut your account down...

    Who said these people all promoting the affiliate program or promoting the script?? How do you know they promoted it other than just having a small affiliate link at the bottom of the page.

    If they closed every persons account that had an affiliate program there would be thousands more accounts closed!

    I'm not going to argue on this, I will agree to disagree with you. In my opinion and the experiences of people I know and people I have read about, Paypal DO close accounts when their terms have not been broken.

      Google does the same thing.

      There are a lot of Zombie Blogging customers who get asked to verify their accounts, then don't. They think "I'll let it cool off for a while first," and don't verify, and then they come back later to find all their blogs closed and their Google account deleted.

      Basically, Google said "hey, it looks like you might be breaking the terms of service; please tell us you're not." And they ran away.

      What is Google supposed to think about that? If you were an honest person, and you weren't doing anything wrong, surely you could let Google send you a text message.

      Similarly, a lot of people on PayPal get told "we've limited your account," and they don't call PayPal to say "hey, WTF, I've got $800 in that account and I didn't do anything wrong." They just run away.

      What is PayPal supposed to think about that?

      So yes, people do get their accounts shut down without doing anything wrong,.. and then they run away, which sort of counts as doing something wrong.

        There's no point in turning this thread into a paypal rant - especially when the OP isn't answering questions about why the account was suspended.

        If you have given false info on your paypal account, they can and will freeze it for six months and then close it - but you do get the money when the account is closed.

        If it is a temporary freeze, it's likely a non-verified account where more information is being requested.

        A verified account may frozen temporarily and more info requests before being re-activated.

        Do they make mistakes? Sure, they do. For the majority of problems with paypal - there's a problem that can be resolved.

        I certainly would not let anyone except a close family member use my paypal account - for one thing, I'm liable for income taxes for any money coming into that account.

        When someone complains about a paypal freeze - offers no explanation and doesn't seem worried about solving the problem, that's often a sign the person knew something was wrong.

        kay

        Edit: One of the most common paypal problems are people who list a US address though they live elsewhere - often in a country where full paypal use is not available. Paypal will check addresses by freezing the account and requesting a copy of a bill in your name sent to the address listed. Can't provide it? Oops. Don't know if this is the case here - but there is no country listed for the OP so have to wonder.

        Unless you're an honest person that doesn't have text messaging capabilities and then you're shut out because a multi-billion dollar company apparently cannot afford to offer a variety of methods of contact.

    Oh but they don't always run away. I know people that have tried to explain their situation and Paypal wouldn't even listen. So it wasn't just a matter of having their account limited and running away, they tried to get it sorted with Paypal refusing and actually saying that they aren't willing to discuss the matter any further.

      If you've been pulled over for speeding and there's a cold bottle of beer in your cup holder, I don't think the cop needs to listen.

      But everyone wants to try and explain their situation. No, it's different, see - this is me. That rule is stupid, and doesn't apply to me.

      I mean, sure, the law says "no open containers of alchohol in the car" quite clearly, but that's not for me. That's for drunks. That's how you make the case for getting the drunk drivers off the street.

      I'm not a drunk; I'm just, well, okay - technically I guess I just blew over the legal limit, but I'm not drunk. I mean, look at me! I'm fine.

      Sure, okay, I'm having trouble staying on the yellow line and touching my nose with alternate fingers - but I'm just, you know, not a very coordinated person at all. Ever. Even when I'm sober.

      Well, all right, but you can make an exception for me - can't you? I mean, it's me! Come on!

      Stupid cops. They put people in jail for no reason at all. I mean, I tried to explain, but they wouldn't even listen.

        I've had my account limited twice - both times paypal told me what the problem was and what documentation they needed. I provided it - account restored quickly in both cases.

        When someone doesn't seem interested in trying to resolve the problem - they probably know WHAT that problem is. The thread is about one person's paypal and he hasn't answered "why" so I expect he knows why.

          Because if this really did happen, there would be a class action lawsuit underway, and there is not.

            Except that there is.

            Here is a copy of the complaint at the attorneys site. Over the practice of arbitrarily holding funds and freezing accounts.

            The filing was accepted by San Jose court on May 12, 2010.

            The alleges that because the EFTA, Paypal is a financial institution by definition of the act and is therefore regulated by the provisions of the act.

            The law firm is Freed & Weiss LLC and the contact person is Julie Miller.

              Then we'll see how this plays out.

              Again, I don't believe this claim has merit. Among other things, it's essentially the same as a 2002 suit which was settled out of court.

              Bamm! Triggered an alert they are uninterested in resolving.

                It could have been waves of payments at random times or dates.

                Paypal are funny characters unfortunatelly.

        Wonder how long it'll be before the FCC and such step in because Paypal has shut down people's accounts for no reason like they did to that site that used Paypal for charitable donations.
        A short post, so an equally short reply.

        Not for a long time and probably never.

        They are not a bank and their Terms of Service are clear to read - they even notify you when the ToS are to be changed.

        Just my thoughts,

        Jeff.

          ike they did to that site that used Paypal for charitable donations.
          That's an example of passing on "information" without reading the full thread and getting the facts. The person didn't mean to violate rules - but didn't set up the charity properly with paypal.

          The steps to follow are clearly given on the paypal site. It's not paypal's fault - they have to adhere to the federal laws regulating charities. They also have to adhere to laws regarding money laundering among other things which is why paypal reacts quickly to anything that is out of the ordinary or questionable.

    hmm... this topic has gotten too volatile for me to comment on... oh wait. Darn.

    I have known a few people that paypal suspended. A couple of the suspensions were legitimate and remained suspended. The rest were restored after the people sent paypal the information they wanted.

      Under the Napoleonic code, the accused were "guilty until proven innocent". This changed under British and American adversarial law, where "innocent until proven guilty" prevailed.

      Many large companies, who are essentially a law unto themselves, prefer to employ use of the Napoleonic Code. Google and PayPal both tend to do this, although it is true that sometimes one can reason with PayPal and reverse an onerous punitive action taken by the company. However, the widely reported recent decisions by PayPal to close and/or freeze accounts based on "suspicious activity" is an odious practice.

      Do they relent and unfreeze accounts? Sure. Sometimes. Are people guilty of breaking the rules and conditions of PayPal? Sure. Sometimes. Probably many times. Is that any consolation to the innocent person who sees his business and his income go down in ignominious flames? Never.

      Edmund Burke wrote, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

      If one sees injustice, one should cry out. If one's misfortunes are one's own fault, then one should learn from his/her mistakes and carry on without complaint. But to assume that PayPal "must have had a good reason" and "it's probably your fault for.....whatever" is to be naive.

      That's my point of view, anyway. And in the meantime, I have three merchant accounts in place just in case.

    I would suggest you use paydot.com

    It uses paypal to accept the payments, but their own paypal not yours.

    I've had my account limited recently after 3 years of having a verified business account with over $100k in transactions... There was absolutely no specific reason for the limitation as I didnt increase my traffic volume, I didnt change my profile details, etc. They just limited out of the blue. I will be using PayPal very apprehensively from now on.

    Wow how did this thread turn into a debate.

    He needs to simply find out what his account was suspended for. If the account is just suspended well guess what he can get the account reinstated. Now if the account was revolked that is an entirely different story. He just needs to contact paypal and see what and if he can do anything to get his account reinstated. There are many ways around the system however its been awhile since I have read their terms.

    So the option I am about to give may or may not work. Just open a new pay pal account under a new email. Problem solved then do not screw up again or your will lose your account again. Again this may be against their terms but I do not know I have not read their terms is several years now.

    From my own experience paypal is ****. I´m from sweden and it´s a hell to get your money to your regular account so you can acutally spend them. But on the english market it´s almost necessary to have paypal but screw them anyway.
