Literally full audit - suspended my account, when I called every day for 7 days... every single time I would get this response "Try again in a few hours sir our system is just doing a scan of your account to make sure it is you using it." "BUT THIS IS ME SPEAKING WITH YOU... FOR 7 DAYS NOW... WTF ARE YOU TELLING ME" lol I had to escalate it to the moon before they re-activated my account... Only after I said this.. "If you suspended my account because you saw Bitcoin in a URL I purchased I am going to sue you for gross negligence" "Hold on one moment sir let me see what we can do for you.." lol You hear that paypal? ... it is the sound of inevitability   Bitcoin 1 / Paypal 0 |
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the world, and lose his own soul?

How frustrated it makes us when we face such situation. The way their customers service is dealing with such issues is so annoying.

Are you sure it was to do with that? It seems a little over the top but maybe in their search tool literally anything with the word bitcoin gets red flagged?

That is very risky of you  Yeah - as someone said above this post - we extrapolated that it was some kind of derpy algo to spot the word BTC in any purchase and red flag / freeze it.. The tech support really sounded confused.. "Well sir it seems like your account has no fraud... and there is no reason it should be audited for a 130$ transaction.. not sure why this is happening please try again in a few hours" Smells like fear to me... |

I would kind of doubt that the OP is telling the truth. There is no valid business reason for paypal to do this. They may have suspended his account because he was selling digital goods, but this would have nothing to do with bitcoin. |

You are welcomed to doubt, - This does not change the reality of what PayPal did to me and continues to do to thousands of customers on a daily basis, do some research before you jump to conclusions. In case you did not see the post correctly - I said I PURCHASED a domain... had nothing to do with sales of any sort - Also the only time they backed up was when I made mention of bitcoin and directly confronted them with a legal threat due to the remiss way in which they handled my account. Draw your own conclusion but I won't give an inch on you saying I did not state the truth.. Paypal does what paypal wants (Eric Cartmans voice from South Park) |

Everybody in the same situation should do this, if paypal don't react they lose users, if they do users get treated better. Win-win |

No. It doesn't work this way. Paypal cannot know you bought a domain name with bitcoin in it. Payment processors don't work this way. They've just seen a payment from your account to a registrar.

This is the reason why Bitcoin needs to take root. Corrupt fraudulent companies like PayPal need to just close their doors and go away. We don't need them or their shady business. We just need good 'ol Bitcoin to help move the world along financially. Currency has evolved. Their day is done. eBay will be next with all the new P2P marketplaces coming up. (One Market and Open Bazaar to name a couple) They had their chance, but they blew it with corruption.
