38 Degrees Petition To Stop PayPal Limitations

[oompaloompa]

I agree, shutting people down is one thing, they can do that if they want, although sometimes I think their reasoning is odd eg. business is accepting too much money but no complaints or overt issues, so why is there a problem?

Amazon is worse actually.......by far.

However holding the major part of their money is another....it is their money, especially when the goods or services have been fulfilled.

withdrawing regularly is the best way, you will have used them effectively and made a profit over the long-term, even if they do shut you down at some point......

Hate to say it but that's complete rubbish.

Any account limitation comes automatically with a hold of up to 180 days.

"Very severe infractions" must include any kind of connection to any kind of previously banned paypal or ebay accounts.
And we all know that bans from either of these companies don't come with any real reasons. It only comes with their automated explanations that recite the rulebook without giving you a proper explanation.

If paypal did things properly we wouldn't need this website nor would we need stealth accounts.

And there are lots of examples of perfectly legit properly run businesses having paypal problems - sometimes to the edge of bankruptcy

Exactly. I dont think that poster actually read in to the petition at all.

oompaloompa - Some good points there, good summarising.

Maybe a fairer way of having reserves for chargebacks is looing at how many chargebacks the user had on their account within the time it was active, and use that as the basis for monye being held. You cant hold £5k of a charities money, especially not when all the payments where gifts because, they where a charity, so no chargebacks.

They are a financial institution that skirts around the law, so like all criminal activity, don't do the crime if you cant do the time. If PayPal gets stung, its their own fault.

Fight the Barstools. Accountability and Transparency.

They should put a stop on PayPal blacklisting SS# too. Banks don't even do that and if they do they will allow you to open an account once you pay any other bank that you owe.

Banks don't blacklist people like PayPal do.

Unfortunately/fortunately, thats not applicable in the UK.
