Hi,
Had some email today about a temporary limitation from PayPal. According to it I had to remove all references to it from a page of one of my sites on the advertising page, where I had expressed it as a viable option and provided quick purchase buttons.
Anyhow, is this standard. I was aware it doesn’t permit direct gambling, but didn’t know if would effect this.
Have you experienced similar things?
Congrats paypal just locked your account. I hope you didnt have too much money in there because you wont get it back for 6 months. Read more at paypalsucks.com
Not quite. I removed the reference and my account was back open within a couple hours. I just wanted to know if anyone had experienced something similar.

Bit of a Joke really. But like the old addage… “he who pays says!”
Oh you got lucky. They gave you a warning. They locked my account a while back for something stupid with no warning. I was a member for years and accepted thousands of payments. Then one day without warning they froze my account. They said I was advertising a get rich quick scheme. The funny thing is that my website said absolutely nothing about getting rich or made any ridiculous claims about earnings. I was running the site for many months with over 200 sales and not a single refund request so obviously the customers were satisfied with their purchase. They held on to my funds (about $3,000) for 6 months before I got it back. I think they were just trying to get interest on it. Oh well. I opened another account with a different bank account and I don’t use it for any of my websites. I use it mainly for making payments. I would look into other payment processors if I were you. There are a lot of them out there that are way better than paypal.
They locked my account without explanation after I funded a debit card with it.
They have all the stuff they asked for and are not reopening the account so far. Been months.
I have been a great customer for some 6 years.
They have my money, too!
They suck!:shakebutt
I am based in South Africa , and although it states on their terms and conditions that South Africans cannot receive funds into their paypal card – I opened my account 6 years ago and had been receiving payments perfectly up until about a month ago , when out of the blue , they would not allow me to accept any payments anymore. No notice given , so I had to deny all the funds that had been paid to me.
That was no fun – turning down money :Cry:
