bro, once your account gets closed you will be able to open a different one with a new email and new credit card
dont forget that paypal are a bunch of wankers
however, i wouldnt use them anymore if it were my account they would close
you never know when they will decide to play hide-the-salami with your butthole
fukn idiots

[Spoetnik]

so UFC related stuff against their TOS ? WOW i had no idea that is fucking retarded !

i know any digital currency stuff is.

and guy don't just make another account that us dumb LOL

and DO NOT ever put a credit card number in there.. that is plain stupid.

I fought these pricks over a BTC-e withdrawal after they unlocked my account for fighting them for 2 months
they ripped me off for almost $700 bucks and kept lying about it..
then i got them to admit after another month of fighting.
then i got a random bill *swiftly pushed to my bank account for $24 in ebay fee's from months earlier
when i sold something and i had an invoice that said i owed 0 dollars and 0 cents.
i didn't owe them anything..
my bank stuck me with a $45 nsf charge and i got pissed off and closed my account
later my bank manager met with me on another matter and used that incident to ban me from my bank for ever.

I had taken out all my money just for the hell of it the day before (i don't trust banks)
I had about $150 in there and had not spent it yet the next day when the NSF charge showed up.
and funny part is when i ever waited for money to get sent from Paypal to my bank it took days..
But they sent me an email and had taken the money from my account in 24 hours flat.

oh and get this..
i had called Paypal before sending coins from BTC-e to Paypal
and asked if all was cool.. they said yeah no problem and even checked with a supervisor.
I did this i told them because i had not used my Paypal in a couple years roughly.
and i had a new address.. they said ya your fine go ahead.. spend away !

roughly 8 hours after being told on the phone your good.. they locked my account.
and why was a fishing expedition.. they kept changing their story as to what the problem is.
they would never tell me really just demanding more and more info etc.
do yourselves a favor and stay the fuck away from Paypal.

I will repeat.. ALL digital currency activity is against their TOS.. your will have your account locked and funds seized !

interesting, but this is not the first time paypal has limited someone for no reason. i am not surprised.

[CoinInvestorZ]

PayPal does this allot of time, allot of site's operators get limited for no specific reason.

[UliJonHoth]

Screw paypal. Bitcoin: for the people, by the people.

[ridery99]

use da btc phonk

[connexus]

The lesson here is don't use your account to digital currency related transactions to avoid being scammed by Paypal.

PayPal shut an account a friend of mine owns down.  This account had a balance of 2.9 Million dollars.  The did this about 2 months after 9/11 and wanted to verify who he was.  His attorney sent them the verification information with in the matter of 2 hours from his account being frozen, pending verification, and it took them 7 days to release the account.  Then 2 days later they froze an account that large over $81.  That is all.  They are great people that need to fall off the face of the earth.

I think Paypal is the worst.
That is why I don't want to use it.

[midmir]

Ah PayPal ... are they still in the picture?

PP needs go down as soon as possible.

Elon Musk saw its inevitable burn and sold it on time.

i3.gov - file complaint

Than go to state AG office and file complaint online.

Indeed, paypal really sucks they freezes and lock accounts for no reason.

[Blackwindow]

Better just use bitcoin. They are big and the government wont do anything.

He will be just wasting his time with useless bureocrats.

Depends on the state.  I live in CA and this is the worst state for businesses.  It's the best if you want to fight a company. Antime I reference the CA State AG or Trade or Labor Bureau I get things solved quickly

They let me withdraw the money, but the accounts remains limited.

Only thing I can do right now is to recommend you guys to avoid PayPal 

[bikoBoy]

You can withdraw through a bank account that has the same name etc... after 180 days and sometimes less as far as I know, PayPal has already been known for doing this with anyone doing anything they don't like (not necessarily forbidden by them)

[copperhorse111]

Had the same thing happen to me with PayPal multiple times, withdrawn one which was around $300 and the kept around $45, did not use it after learning about BTC..

[TibanneCat]

Our company had several problems with paypal crap before
ranging from random account freezes to denying money transfers to some subcontractors

Now we use bitcoin whenever we can and no more time wasted with paypal customer service!!
