Oh My God. This is purely a moan, so if you don't want to read it, stop reading now, dont leave comments. Ive just found out paypal have locked my account. Second time in two accounts. First time $260, this time $40, so not so bad, but $300 in total. Why, you might ask. Well, apparently it's due to something being suspicious about the bank account I added, ok, fair enough, but here's the funny part: I never linked it to a bank account, so how could the account be suspicious. I actually feel physically sick with anger. Thats all my hard work gone. It's just appauling.
Well I'm gonna *GUESS* no on this one... But you weren't even linked to a bank account?? That's pretty weird. Have you tried contacting them?
Meaning they 'took away' $300 in payments to you? That sounds more suspicious than anything else. That is most unusual... there are always a ton of people complaining about paypal, but I have never personally had a problem *knocks on wood*. Why not call up paypal and see what the issue is first hand? Is there a chance you opened one of those phishing emails, had your account compromised, and then closed due to that? If I lost $300, the first thing I would do is contact them... (then go nuts on DP lol!) Best of luck with it.
Yes, no reply yet as I only found out a few minutes ago. Last time I contacted them, but they were about as helpful as a blind doctor. Although it sounds crazy, I wasn't that bothered last time, granted, it was a month of getting on my feet at article writing, usually writing upwards of 600 words a day in my spare time, tiring stuff, but I took it as a lesson learned. Now I'm starting to charge more and take in more orders, and I simply can't be arsed to work for hours and get my money taken away from me at the end of the day. They just steal. Complete fucking titwankers. Excuse my language, I'm angry
have been hearing a lot about paypal these days.. well as far as i know, only a BANK is allowed to block your money, that too on specific terms n conditions, and paypal is in no way an authority like a BANK.
There always a lot of people complaining about paypal, but it's almost standard these days >_< You can try contacting them and faking a suicide threat or just ranting on your blog
