I got a directory submission tonight from a Casino and not even 2 minutes later I got a email from paypal that said my acct is limited .Thank god I have another paypal ,But i really dont like the fact that paypal can see the domain I was paid this money for.Now a question for those that have been through it before , is it safe for me to put my other paypal acct on my directory or should i just wait for them to see i removed the casino link and reinstate my other paypal?
sorry about that. Can you transfer your fund in your limited account? Maybe you can argue and refund the money to lift the limit?
This means we are all vulnerable! It's BS that they would let someone else sabatoge our accounts without emailing us first for an explanation!
I need some advice as I have accepted casino sites there was no problem as I got away with it! I need to know whether we should accept submissions from casino or not?
Only the OP knows the history of the account. I suspect there might be more than just 1 casino payment!?
What i think you accepted the payment which at first place you shouldn't have at all. Never accept Casino,Gambling,etc sites in future if you plan to use Paypal as your payment processor, at least i have very strict guidelines for such websites,and they are marked in red and bolded Happy life now, no such submissions.!!!
it was a link submitted to www.luxaco.com for $15.00 ,as you all know it is automatic payment system so i got the email from the system saying a link was submitted and literally 2 minutes i got the email from paypal.dubz , I have many gambling websites , we use neteller ,ecocard ,moneybookers and ezicard so my gambling/casino business money is never paid to paypal .This was because of a link submitted to luxaco and the email from paypal is below : We appreciate the fact that you chose PayPal to send and receive payments for your transactions.

YES IT CAN HAPPEN TO US ALL. And the account is limited not closed,it allowed me to do a refund , now i guess they have to see that the link is gone and for them to reinstate the acct without restriction.
paypal has strict guidelines abt casino,adult if you receive/send money to those businesses, your act will be closed
Good to hear! That was fast. Any advise on how we should handle it like you to get restored that quickly. (since it could happen to any of us) Thanks!
i still remember i had recived a casino payment on harmu.com but my paypal did not got limited!! since i don't accept those links, i simply deleted that link and refunded the payment!! hope paypal is not counting those! i mean 1 cashino payment, 2 to go before account is gone!
Thats a pretty scary story. I never knew this could happen! I think everyone should have an alternative account on Paypal or some other like Moneybookers etc.
