Is it possible to do Internet Marketing without a PP account?

10 replies
Well since last night around 10PM (12-14-12) I was having some issues with PayPal, I offer a large service on another forum and I was making large transactions for Amazon, Bank Deposits, MoneyPak Cards, and Membership Subscriptions to sites.

(If you don't want to here about my services then skip to the box below that is in red)

I can't really give away my service plan on how its used but you should have a general idea of it.

Anyways I was starting to get an error saying I needed to add funds to my account, I looked everywhere else and could not find a problem to fix it. I planned on closing the current account and transfer all funds, but I sent all the funds to another PP like several times that were in large 200$ payments. I closed the account and had created a new one, I added my info but it requested call and it was late at night so couldn't. I was impatient and just closed that account to create a new one. Now today I transferred all the funds back and I sent a payment out and instantly I was limited before I could even completely add my bank account, card info etc. I called up PP today and once I got transferred, the specialist said he is going to close my merchant account, my moms account, and my student PP account. I asked him if he could transfer the funds from my merchant account to my student account and he was like "Well we can if we want but I'm not going to", he claimed I had created 10+ accounts within the past 3 days etc.... So I lossed my merchant account and now stuck with a student PP account but it is now limited until my mom calls and they "talk" about what I have been "doing".. But the guy also threatened about getting a review from a higher specialist to blacklist me from PayPal permanently.

(End of story of PP)
So now I sorta just lost about 500$, they still have a 140$ payment I was to transfer through amazon.... I am to receive around 1000$ from a CPA affiliate for this weeks earnings but I did a request to change my payout type and it said it takes effect in 1-2 days, but if I am close to a payment it will be held to next week. I am with MaxBounty to... I already did request change so I can get direct deposits.



Overall I may not be able to get back into any of my 2 accounts with funds in them.... Currently right now I can't think of an alternate route of offering my services and paying for payments for my company.


Or will I just have a HUGE loss in profit now? Not sure how to manage sales through PP anymore, I have been earning about 200$ a day from my service and so far today I am at 0$....

    Sorry to say but it sounds like what happened was inevitable.

    You were hardly acting like a normal business would. I can see exactly why they have closed all of your accounts.

    You'll need to find an alternate payment processor and next time don't go creating so many accounts and transferring money between them in weird patterns. It's always going to put you on the radar.

    Read the terms of service of whichever payment processor you are using and try not to break rules and you shall be safe.

      Sucks to be under 18, I have been earning around 3.5k a month and I think maybe the PP issue will shoot down my monthly earnings badly.

    I agree with everyone above. This is partially your fault. However, there are plenty of other options, but I would try hiring someone to create an alternate account for you.

      I do understand it was my fault, I just cannot stay with a student account and not make a single sale or any checkout pages.

    Well, to answer your question?

    you can have a BUY BUTTON for your services from sources like JVZOO, clickbank, ejunkie etc..and other people can still pay you via paypal.

    Next time be patient with your funds management. That conversation with Paypal doesn't sound too pleasant.

    So you are making 3.5k a month and freaked out that you weren't able to get 140$ out of the account so you made "10 accounts in 3 days". Additionally you couldn't call them because it was "late at night". Your story seems legit...
