Finally joined the Club (paypal limited)

jbluntz · #1 09-01-2011

Just a heads up for everyone I got my first 2 paypals limited today for the first time in a year at least, I'm talking about the 1 without the bank with funds being sent to the 1 with the bank and it was only for $350 but did it for over $1000 many times so looks like it's time to do a littlle house cleaning, but think I'll just hire a maid instead and kick back and play nintendo for now..

So both got limited because you transferred money between the accounts?

That is correct, never used to happen before.

The problem I have had with the paypal card in the past is that many retailers have a sign above the register saying they do not accept PP cards.

I asked and they said they have too many problems with Paypal so they dont bother accepting them.

Probably because its easy to get screwed. I mean think about it. If you're a scammer or a hacker and have a PayPal debit card.. You can simply just transfer money from someone elses account to your's, then go on a shopping spree. You might think the cops get called, but they dont. Depends on the amounts that get stolen. I did it back when i was 18 (very stupid time of my life). I'd load my paypal account with a grand, go pull $400 out of the atm, then go spend the rest at circuit city, best buy, the mall. Fill up on gas back when it was like $2 per gallon or even a carton of newports, back when it cost $27 for a carton. LOL

But.. The retailer gets screwed in the long run. Cause they gotta pay the money back, plus a charge back fee. Sucks..

Of course the same happens for skimmers and people who write the dumps to another credit card and go shopping. Which is why alot of stores now days check the last 4 digits on the card.

Yeah but paypal claims its just the same as any other visa. If someone thinks that they they are waaaaaay off. Its like paypal, not like a visa. and we all know how that works. ha.

HaHa.. Exactly.. PayPal really does have a bad reputation. And in all actuality, its not just people like us that think they suck. I have family that has used them, all for legit reasons... SUSPENDED.. Also during their time, they'd get screwed on the paypal credit card (not the debit). And their customer service is terrible. Not nearly as bad as Capital One where you call and it seems that it sends you to somebody in Pakistan.

ovidiu · #8 09-01-2011

I've never had problems with Capital One, and it gives me a real credit card with a second name (for my stealth accounts), so I have a real credit card on file with PP & eBay.

But yeah, now Paypal will probably be calling to confirm $5 payments for eBooks and stuff. And maybe require a SSN any time you try to transfer more than 99 cents to your bank account.

Well what's the next move for yah then. They probably looked and saw the pattern and saw to many times and flagged it? Im working with a programer right now making software that will send invoices at random from your verified accounts, and never do the same account twice, it will send an invoice to the all the other un-verified accounts first. Hoping to keep the patterns lower.

Rough to hear jbluntz but happens.

jbluntz · #11 09-01-2011

I've still got plenty more paypals over a year old, just was kind of odd it happened on this one and none of the other ones since I have about the same pattern of sales and payments.

UnderBites08 · #19 09-01-2011

Mario Karts is still that good period. Playing by yourself most likely not though. Anyways I got some drinking to do. Done with pay pal sh*t for the night

bluegrass1 · #20 09-02-2011

I donylt mario cart can be too kiddie for anyone. Almost everyone i know and meet love that game in some form. But yea its much better to play it with other people.
I still have a PSP slim somewhere in my junk box that has tons of emulotors and some roms on it. Maybe one day i will take it out of the junk box and play some games. Sucks having a full time job.

Probably from too much similarity in activity and amount being sent, I would guess.
