I miss PayPal Damon. Thanks for the T-shirt, brother.

Thats why my paypal is hooked up to an old bank account, and the two accounts never hold more then $20 bucks for very long. Whenever I recieve money through paypal, it goes to the checking account, and then is spent on a bill.

I think the problem is with you, your password, you clicking on emails you shouldn't - things like that. I've never had problems with my account.

Its always good to have an alternate payment processor including paypal, paypal is not just enough. Depending your location you can use 2checkout, WorldPay, ChronoPay, Google checkout etc including paypal. This will give variety of option to your customers and you can not loss everything if something go wrong with paypal.

Necromancy is bad, mm'kay?

Yeah, I realize after your response that I have replied an old thread, definitely the new and fresh topics make discussions more compartmentalized.

hmm this thread was bumped from 2/01 to 6/02. I thought threads gets archived after 3 months? How did that happen?

you can open multiple account #s on the same bank account. i keep one "crap" account empty and have it verified with paypal, the other one with all the money they don't know about (i assume). i just use my cc each time to make a payment. that way i can never get cleaned out my someone hacking my paypal.

AFAIK, some old threads that were stickied at one time somehow escape being archived. I think it was a bug in the previous version of the forum's software.

I recently did a transaction online, and against my better judgement I accepted a payment by PayPal. I've used it in the past to make payments from a pre-loaded credit card, but never really trusted them enough to receive payments in my account. I had used this account about 10 times in the last 2 months to make purchases online, ranging from $10 up to several hundred. There was never any questions as to the activity on the account...until I received a payment. Literally within 3 minutes of receiving a $400 payment in my account, PayPal suddenly decides to put a hold on my account, "For a sudden increase in account activity volume". What a load of bullshit! They are now requiring me to go through a 6 step verification process before they will lift the limitation on my account. I can still ADD funds to the account (why would I want to?) but of course I can't send a payment or try to withdraw anything. Meanwhile, PayPal is taking their sweet-ass time getting evrification forms to me in the snail-mail, and making it extremely difficult for me to complete this process. I should have followed my initial instinct...

It's not a scam involving paypal --- paypal IS a scam.
