Pay Pal closed down my account thanks to DP member

First off all I really like to thank that DP member that spent time writing to customer service of Pay Pal and managed to get my account banned on my two sites in the signature.

How do I know its DP member? Well I have more then 200 websites but only this 2 is in DP and only this 2 have been banned from Pay Pal.

Second do anyone find anything that breaks Pay Pal agreement on this site

http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/use/index_frame-outside&ed=mature

For my 2 sites

www.bangkoksexy.com and www.prettygirlsthailand.com

I can not find anything that breaks the rules.

 

Have you spoke with Paypal for their official reason for account closure?

 

Yes well they said this but not WHAT on the page was the problem

So your mad because someone told PayPal you were breaking the rules? Not breaking them in the first place could help :/

Edit: Just looked at your sites, I'm guessing Paypal got rid of it due to the link in your sig. I guess the best thing to do would be to write a formal appeal.

 

What rules did i break Dnow? I do not understand what is the rules. Its a dating site not a sex site and the other one is a a Modell site for real once not Escorts. How can it break the rules?

I got a new email from PAY PAL still not saying anthing why i been a customer for them maybe 8 years now.

Looks as though Paypal has you and YOUR money.....bummer!

 

Did you get approval from them before using Paypal on the site?

I am only looking at the United States TOS:Online Dating Policy

which could vary per country / region.

 

you should get over it. they will not going to change their mind.

 

Corey Bryant No i am connected to luxenburg but great tip for other webmasters i am sure many forgett to ask about it but they should. I had my sites for 7 years no problem and then bing bang they block them very strange.

Paladin2

Yes sure i am over it but for the future i want to know WHY WHY WHY they block me.

 

Its very sad.

How much money did you had?
You might want to call paypal to court?

 

inworx i will get the money back but they keep on saying the same thign but now they add Private Calls what the hell is that?

The websites, http://www.bangkoksexy.com/ and
http://www.prettygirlsthailand.com/, violate PayPal's Acceptable Use Policy
in that they primarily target adults for "private calls". Your account also
was accepting supbcription payments for these sites which under the
Acceptable Use Policy, PayPal may not be used to send or receive payments
or donations for obscene or certain sexually oriented goods or services.

What exactly were people buying or paying for on these two sites? What was paypal processing?

 

membership just normal to contact people like a normal dating site.

 

hi

u are using paypal on 18+ site which is not allowed

thats y they limit u

thanks

 

At this point of time all I want to say is to forget what has happened and in future see that before you use paypal service on your website, see that you first get an approval from them.By this way, you can play safe. All t6he best.

 

on a what a + 18 website? All dating sites as + 18 i don ot have any naked stuff its normal dating. How is this diffrent from anything else?

They do not limit me the delete my account !

 

Paypal is funny... ebay auctions that are mature in nature are allowed to accept pay pal

 

Don't get angry , just wait 180 day's they just froze your account.
After 180 days you can withdraw your money.
It is one of there tricks to make money.

 

you mean it's so easy, you can just fill a complaint and close down someone's account?
There must be something more to it..

 

hm..dont know what to say..

Laws in differnet countries make it hard to do proper business on the internet..
