Remember Paypal?

So it's been years. Last time they limit my account and say they will notify me after 6 months and will lift it. Nope. LIES. They never sent a freaking e-mail. Also, when I logged in after more than 6 months have passed, they say, "your account has been limited for 180 days. IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE LIMITED BUT YOU NOW HAVE THE ABILITY TO WITHDRAW FUNDS." Nope. LIES AGAIN. In the Resolution Center, they say this:

Which means, I can't do shit (confirmed because I can't even add bank account or credit card). In fact, the Resolution Center doesn't give me any option or anything to lift the limitation. They also say shit like "THIS LIMITATION CANNOT BE APPEALED." Which means I'm not even allowed to do anything.

I tried messaging them and as usual, their machines answered and does nothing but recently they say this: 

"We’ve reviewed your PayPal account and determined that there’s unfortunately excessive risk involved in doing business with you. As a necessary precaution, we regret that we must take action to close your account. To minimize the disruption to your business, you can continue to log in to your account for the next 180 days."

 Umm.... Excessive risk.... Do you view customers as threat or something?

Word of advice. If you use Paypal, BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN USING IT. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS BAD BAD BAD MACHINE LEVEL BAD. At least they are from my experience.

Anyway, I'm gonna try calling them later although I heard stories that even the customer service people who answered the phones are robots too (trained to speak the same lines over and over and does nothing to help) and it makes me doubt even calling them would work.

*Sigh*. All this shit just because I entered wrong name and they don't even allow me to fix that. If only there is a living human there actually reading the messages and actually doing something.

  1. Last time I tried Paypal support I got a guy with an atrocious accent who just kept repeating the same scripted lines over and over.

    Best of luck.

  3. I got problems with paypal for logging in (in France when I was on a holiday) and that was the only reason they had and they blocked it.

    I can't use patreon anymore.

    1. Use Payoneer. You can link your patreon directly to your Payoneer account. I use Payoneer now. My only problem with Paypal now is I just wanna get my money from paypal back.

  4. I don't know about anybody else but at one point Paypal had an issue with providing funds to people creating Digital adult content. Said it was too high risk. Same with several crowfunding sites though most of them lifted that ban after several months of argument and complaints from a large portion of their customer base. Maybe Paypal is pulling the same crap again?
