    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?

    So they limited your account all because you received a payment from a casino???

    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!

    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.!!!

    Thats a pretty scary story. I never knew this could happen! :eek: I think everyone should have an alternative account on Paypal or some other like Moneybookers etc.
