dolly - are you on the "do not fly" list as well?
And gnik, I updated my credit card info yesterday on paypal, since card is expiring this month. Was a snap.
Maybe I'm just lucky - this better not jinx it.Suebe I was on it for years too, probably 8 or 9 at least, this is the first and now last problem.
I am getting a bit paranoid about why, really it's kind of freaky.
They keep sending me spam though and it's legitimately from them, trying to get me to sign up if I want to set up a charitable site or something like that. I didn't read the whole thing, it's just making me shake my head.
I sent a complaint to the California AG today, I cited his own rants about them from 2002-2004. Let's see if he takes any action again, he's kind of busy worrying about people price gouging and committing fraud after the fires (understandably). I'll follow up with both AG's in a while. I have time, Paypal will be holding my money for 180 days for no good reason.]]><![CDATA[suebe @ 10/26/2007 12:59:19 PM]]>126995I have made international purchases as well. No problema there.

Glad you posted the thread over here so I could up-vote it.
By the way, I'm a bit paranoid about money on the internet so I've always avoided paypal. When I buy credits on worth, I send jax cash to a PO BOX, just message him and he'll give you the addy. I assumed you already knew that though, aren't you super important or something on worth?]]><![CDATA[Jerry520 @ 10/24/2007 11:18:23 PM]]>125682«dollyllama : It's not the only site and there's a link to the law firm handling a class-action law suit against Pay Pal.

I haven't sold anything in over a year but never had any complaints, no chargebacks, no disputes, in fact, got awesome feedback on e-bay. And the reverse is true also.
It starts with my move, I cannot update my address or phone number on there site. They send a letter with a code to my old address (which never gets forwarded to my new address). Nevertheless, I am able to continue using Pay Pal to make purchases which is nice since I'm in a rural area now and do a lot of online purchases.
Then they put restrictions on my account. I finally get someone to deal with my address change but afterwards they not only refuse to remove the restrictions they are closing my account due to "high risk activity". HUH? So I ask what that activity is. They claim (at first) that it has to do the things I've sold. I sold some clothing and I think an old pen tablet and as I said, the transactions were smooth, great feedback, blah, blah. When I tell them this they then decide it's because of the items I've purchased recently. My last purchase was a CD of by a street performer someone posted a link to on Plime. A $15 CD, I think the guy is in Italy, not sure. They tell me I purchased some items in September (and while on the phone I couldn't remember what, but now recall it was off ebay and it was a remote control for my camera and some lens thing, maybe a $30 transaction, the guy I purchased from was in Poland but had an ebay account and I transacted through that). In any event, this seems "high risk" to them (although their recorded hold chatter repeatedly says "why not purchase from global vendors...blah, blah" so it would be remarkable if it's because these two purchases were made out of country that they now consider me high risk). They will not give me specifics on how any of those purchases are high risk and furthermore will not allow me to appeal this. And in order to get any further information they said I have to Subpoeana the information. WHAT???
I'm furious. I don't care a wit about Pay Pal or having an account with them, they can kiss my lily-white buttocks. BUT I am so offended they are making this accusation of risk, based on NOTHING and then not providing a rationale or further information without me having to hire an attorney and filing a suit. I'll investigate if this falls under the parameters of FOIA but I suspect that's only government agencies not corporations. I fully read their user agreement. I have not violated any of their rules, and nowhere does it say they can just arbitrarily close your account. Their whole premise is to act as an agent for the exchange of money for goods of some sort, which is exactly how I used them. My purchases have all been for either computer, clothing, and camera equipment. WTF?
I'm curious if anyone else has had to deal with anything like this from them.]]>
