So heres the problem guys. Paypal appear to have a bit of a vendetta against me for some reason. I sell a product which is a bit borderline for paypal, its an incense product that they don't seem overly keen on. The problem is, all of my competitors are allowed to sell using paypal (and I have told paypal about this several times, they're not bothered although they thank me for taking the time to "report these websites" and tell me they will "investigate" them) which puts me at a massive disadvantage. This puts me in a tricky position as I really need to be able to offer paypal, paypal don't seem to have any problem with my competitors using paypal, but don't seem too keen on me using paypal. Soooo, I figure I need to hide what I'm selling from paypal. I understand this might seem a bit "dodgy" but paypal don't really appear to have a problem with the nature of what I'm selling, so I doubt they'll mind too much. I'm using shopping cart software (zen cart), and I was wondering if anybody had a solution as to how I could just take blank payments via paypal, without them knowing what I'm recieving the money for (I doubt they'll ask questions as long as they're making money tbh). And also, whether people think this would be a good idea? The plan would be to regularly withdraw money from the account so I'm not really in much trouble if they do catch on etc. Any thoughts on my plan?
None method that I know of, if its a blank payment will your customers trust to pay? Also, how are they blocking you from their service?
They've just closed the account and I guess will continue to do so with every new account I use. Do you think if I get a coder to modify my paypal payment module on zencart to blank the referral, and not send any data about the purchase to paypal, but still (somehow) keep a session ID so that the order goes through appropriately on the website, think that'll be enough?
in the payment description of paypal , you send something like this : Invoice#4432 where 4432 is transaction id of sale in zencart
THey'll link the closed account to your other accounts one way or the other. Why don't you try any alternative??
since when does paypal ask what u sell or buy? i have every day 120-200transactions and never happened..
