Paypal Shadowban - is that a thing?
 

It used to be Paypal was locking the account with their 180 day locking of funds, so then I move on to another account. My most recent accounts have been going pretty strongly. But I noticed something strange, on first account, one day nobody could find my account when typing my email or name to send payment, and now on another acc it seemed to have happened too. Otherwise the account seems fine- no email from pp, no limits, no blocks, can even withdraw money and do things. Could this be like a shadowban, so they sneakily disable the acc from being searchable ?

And if thats something nobody here have ever heard of happening, could someone with working pp acc write me a PM so we can test it? I would give you my details so you can try to find me during /send money/ phase

Ok, I checked with someone, and it appears to work. For both accounts. Except one account cant find even when typing correct name and surname. So weird. Unless there are like momentary bans for certain users or Paypal search just sucks?

it's not a real thing. Their system does suck some time, but if they wanna ban you, you'll know even if it's a temporary one

One thing I've noticed about paypal is that when you're about to get banned after a payment transaction the credit card payment options vanish. Cancel the payment switch IP and try again. If not you'll get a limit and eventually a ban.

It can happen to any service provider,once a major bank website is down !
