    That's terrible... so if they won't listen to reason, it's their own fault. You should sue them for emotional harassment or something. Sue the bastards into oblivion.

    Google Checkout sounds good but that's again owned by a monopoly in its own right so I wouldn't trust my life with it. Moneybookers is better I guess; it isn't widely used though.

    Damn it, as thewolf32 says, this is the WTF of the day... no make that 'month.'

    I was just contacted by a person i did a quick job for... Their account has also been limited by paypal because they were involved in "Gambling activities". I guess there is a knock on effect too.

    I think you've been scammed. Look how they spelled center! what happened to the days when proofreading was done before publishing a site?


    USA! USA! USA!

    quick, send money to your enemies!

    That's great!

    I'm so glad you could get your account back :)

    Still tho, you should always have an alternative backup, like MB or e-gold.

    That's crazy isn't it? A chance should be given and not just permanently ban someone. Why won't they ban themselves then?

    Great that you got your account back. I would email back that guy that told you that he doesn't need any additonal information and give him a bit of sour.

    My account was limited one month ago, gave all docs, got email that said its restored. But till this date, still not restored.

    You should setup 2 accounts. One personal and business. Keep them separate and that should solve future problems.

    Mate i promoted betfair for 2 years with the site paypal-poker.info. It is only illegal to use paypal to fund a poker account if you live in the usa.

    The uk paypal tos states that it is fine to use them as long as they are partners!

    Most european players can still use paypal to play poker more info here www.pokerdepositoptions.com/paypal-poker-deposit.php
