    To cut a long story short Paypal have basically frozen my account and iwll give my money back in 180 days even tho I have done nothing wrong, but I can no longer use them now.

    What are some other popular Paypal alternatives that people use? I am always buying templates, advertising etc online so this kinda puts me up s*** creek a little, I am hoping their is another thing like Paypal that many people use.

    Thnx

    Moneybookers and 2Checkout are good alternatives to Paypal imo.

    He must live in a PayPal approved country if he had a PayPal account in the past:)
    And whateverandever2, MB is one option ( especially if you deal with people in non PayPal countries)
    2 CO is pretty good, but it has a signup fee of 49$

    You could try e-gold if interested, but it isn't the most convenient thing...

    I am in England, and also a L'pool fan!

    I mainly just need something to pay others for templates I buy, coding I get done etc so needs to be something people use.

    A good percentage of companies accept credit cards as well, so you may look to start just using that for payments. You could setup a paypal acocunt only for sending payments, if you are willing at all to use paypal again. As far as the accepting goes, 2checkout is probably going to be a good choice for you.

    There has to be a reason why Paypal froze your account, was there a checkback or refund request or your account was unverified ?

    I don't think Stormpay can be used for anything apart from Stormpay auction

    Are unverified Paypal accounts more likely to be frozen?

    I would think that you are unverified then they cannot determine that you are who you say you are. It can be a red flag if you transfer huge funds.
