hello everyone! i just wanted to share my experience of paypal with as many people as possible and figured this would be the best way to do it.i am a provider with links to paypal on my website. today, paypal.com closed my account without warning. they cancelled all the transactions i made earlier in the day and told me that i had to removed ALL paypal content fom my website because it was of an "inappropriate" nature. upon doing so i would receive credit for my purchases that were made earlier in the day. i could then withdraw all of my money from the account using my paypal debit card or they would transfer it to my bank account thus my account would be permantly closed. i followed all their directions and did everything they wanted me to do including removing their logo from my website then the went back on their word. they told me it would be 180 days before i received a credit back to my account and if i had any compliants i had to address the compliance department. if the paypal account had been nearly empty i wouldn't have been so upset but i had over $300 in it that i may have to wait for for 6 months. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE all providers discontinue your use of paypal and spread it around to as many providers and hobbyist as you know! i am in serach of a new service to replace paypal, once i find one i'll let you all know.
