I have posted my story lots and mods here keep removing my warnings
If staff here cred about you they would have warned you !
It's not charge backs you have to worry about.
It's the TOS agreement you sign when registering at Paypal.
It says in the agreement they forbid any & all use of any digital currency with their services period .
If they catch you there is a long line of people such as myself who have been shafted.
I think my drama lasted almost 3 months.
They put me through hell.
Worst experience i ever had with any company hands down.
But hey have you by the balls.
You are guilty and caught red handed.
That is the bottom line.
When i got my email from them about the TOS violation
I found on Google the same exact email i got from another user here in 2012
This is old news just buried and hidden so the forum users can keep scamming people.
They (staff here) have no interest in cracking down on this behavior here.
And many sellers / buyers have admitted to being caught LOTS OF TIMES
and all they do is write off the money and make a new account and keep doing it.
(i seen them admit this)
Which is risky if you sold your BTC to a guy and he has his account seized
because he may not have any more money to work with.
..mine was tied up locked away for months as i battled them.
I had to get a lawyer and pay costs out of pocket
and eventually i was told i had 1 option..
Get a signed affidavit admitting i was guilty of breaking their TOS and i will not do it again.
And when they asked me to do that they gave me no hint what so ever that i would get my money if i did admit guilt.
THEN when they gave me back my money tied up and released my frozen purchases pemding
(which stained my reputation with Newegg) they STILL stole almost $700
and i had to keep fighting from month 2 on to month 3 harassing them non stop.
And all i did was take out the min amount at BTCe withdrawn to Paypal 2x then bought some PC parts at Newegg. $2,500 usd twice with $500 in combined service fee's.
AND before i did any of that i phoned Paypal and checked if i was good..
They had me wait on the phone and double checked with supervisor and said i was fine.
Pretty much the next day my account was locked / limited.
So..
Admit guilt and stop doing it..
They started with proof of my Identification too.
They kept stringing me along for ages trying to say it was all kinds of OTHER problems they said
but when i proved there was no OTHER problem they latched onto the Bitcoin thing !
I uploaded about 63 times to their resolution center to satisfy them and yes..
My account was already pre-verified.
They had nothing on me ..except the Bitcoin TOS violation.
I had no bad history or anything either.
Paypal = Scum.
Need help with it ?
Best thing to do is follow the resolution center demands
and after that if you still need help then get on Twitter and add the "Paypal Help" Twitter account
and DM them.. you will then be able to get a Direct message to them and have a private conversation etc.
This got my shit dealt with rapidly !
