Drop by if you are a PayPal user

[covfefe_]

I was a paypal user back in 2015s and they blocked my account for some transactions that eventually led to crypto buying. I don't know how they exactly knew as I had no problem with the person I was trading to but they locked my $200 for some months and after some passive support I got to withdraw my money with heavy restrictions on my Paypal account that I didn't bother to login ever since.

If you are a PayPal user and your account got blocked why trading crypto please kinda drop comment on here, the reason why I bring this up is because of I still find it hard to believe that PayPal is blocking users account for no reason sake, PayPal is after money and they knew that implementing crypto will bring them huge money, they won't want to chase away their customers and ruin their reputation, they know about better crypto exchanges out there, the competition is real

please permission to respond.

Even though I am not a paypal user, it would be very unprofessional if a large platform like paypal did the blocking without a clear basis. much less block 1 or 2 users, unless they're doing something suspicious.

so I just want to ask you, did you do something outside the rules that have become paypal policy itself?

because it is necessary to be careful and not quickly draw conclusions. Even though you have submitted a ticket for questioning and there has been no response, it is possible that your ticket question is still in the queue.

the rest, because I am not a Paypal user ..

PayPal have been a victim to scammers in the past, they have every right to be very strict nowadays and I'm sure that the victim isn't revealing everything that went wrong on his own end, there must be more to this story than what we've been told, also after doing few diggings I saw the news that says the user account was banned after it's technical system termed his frequent crypto trading as 'item SALES'. Doesn't that supposed to ring a bell?

[pealr12]

PayPal will not block any account be it crypto or non crypto trading account unless there is a reason, how will they suddenly be blocking crypto account when they are the ones who introduce crypto into their service, it doesn't make any sense, if it was the time when PayPal was not in crypto i would have understood but with this their current development i find it hard to believe.

  Even on this dearly crypto forum of ours people still go around breaking rules and getting banned not to talk of PayPal platform that's into payment solutions, they have to keep users fund safe and they have a reputation to protect too, they won't tolerate any room for error, tell me how many people read this days? I'm sure people broke a rules or more on paypal platform that's why they get blocked.

How they know that you have transaction came from crypto currency are they tracking the address you use?

Good thing you never use that again. it's better to use Bitcoin for online transaction than using a platform that can block your account any time they  want and have very strict policy in terms of transferring money to other people 

[Galley]

Why, then, PayPal added such a function, if you can get a ban for using it. I don't really understand anything. In this case, there is no elementary logic. Having received the opportunity to buy cryptocurrency, we cannot withdraw it from there. Why is it then generally needed?

[shoreno]

im a paypal user but not a crypto user inside my paypal because that wont happen anymore , why ? coz my account in paypal got block long time ago . i forgot exactly why but all i remeber is i was trying to verify it using another virtual credit card type of payment gateway anyway in regards to crypto issue in paypal users confess before that they got blocked because of too much trade . paypal did it for a reason this time but the blocking was still offensive to those active crypto traders , good thing they know and we know this early .

I am using paypal but I do not proceed on trading crypto,

I have heard a lot of negativereviews regarding their experience using crypto in Paypal. But I know some people who trade crypto in there, I haven't heard anything from them that their account is beling blocked because of trading. Is this really your experience? Can you provide us the additional information and proof that this is real.

I was a paypal user few years ago but thanks to crypto i have completely stopped using their services as i was also tired of their strict policies and rude behavior. Now they are feeling real competition and heat in the shape of crypto im sure they will try to remain in the market now by adding crypto based services too otherwise game will be tough for them.

I also did the same. I stopped using paypal because of how strict they are but I kinda understand why because they are regulated. They need to apply strictly their rules and regulation for the sake of the company. However, it is not good for its users as it seems like we are bring prohibited to freely use our own money because they run as the third party.

The main reason for blocking by PayPal is using solely the Paypal account for crypto trading. In 2021, the funding will be available for users but currently, only trading is supported. Maybe using amounts higher than $10000 can be one of the first reasons why the account has been restricted by management. Skrill has made a similar mistake and they accepted the cryptocurrencies as a mean payment. The future will bring interesting days, hope PayPal will not block the users who use BTC for making a deposit.

I'm a long time user of PayPal but didn't try to use it yet in trading, I'm not just comfortable yet in doing so since I prefer to use it in paying in some shops and buying in international transactions online. If there is limit for new users it will hinder the adoption they might wanted or better new users of PayPal should read rules to avoid being block, restrictions maybe for new users to avoid using their platform for AML transactions.

Same here. Long-time user here but haven't tried their crypto services yet. And don't have plans to. I will just do my crypto dealings outside PayPal, which is far better than using their platform when you talk about crypto trading. I believe most long-time crypto users will not find it advisable to use their platform when it comes to crypto. But ok, this will be a good introduction to previously noncrypto users of their platform.

$10,000 is nothing. They that got account blocked after trading did several trades during 1 week. User can exceed these $10,000 limit within 11 buy/sell trades of $1,000. I'm sure that $10,000 was not the reason to get restricted.

But, he might have used some third party software to automate buy/sell actions with short time in between. That could be a reason for a ban.

If it's really Paypal who blocked your account. There must be a noticed to your email. You may check your inbox, I am receiving some emails from Paypal reminding me for my account because I haven't used it for so many months. They are verifying my account, etc.

Which trading platforms are you currently using? I don't use paypal ot any credit cards when doing some trading. They are planning to adopt crypto payments, too. I think they have a valid reason to block your account. You can also send emails to them regarding your issue.

yeah some people just like spreading fake news without doing any accurate information about it, paypal is such a big company to do things like an amateur who will just block account without any reason, i see many users also believe paypal won't behave like that, i hope @op has the answer now.

I don't think the OP is truthful about his claims. While he was active on the forum today he did not return to the topic to address the questions asked.

Yes, usually they will send you an email beforehand and will tell you to do an identity check again? I'm not really sure about that. Regarding Paypal blocking accounts, I think they are still not perfect in their "precautionary" measures, they impose too difficult rules for crypto users. and also I never thought of using Paypal in terms of trading, there are still many options to choose from, simpler and easier
