Topic: Paypal is a b*tch. - page 2. (Read 4645 times)
its interesting how Paypal is allowing RSantana's CoinedBits.com to flourish.
http://bitcoinjs.org/ is a good open source project to look into if you want merchant tools. it also looks nice and clean, UI wise.
Perhaps we should email paypalsucks.com to request Bitcoin be listed as an alternative. Currently that is linking to a CC processing service.
Interesting idea, but I think we need *far* superior merchant tools than we have available yet.

We'll take the knife and slay the beast and drink from the blood while we confuse it with wine in celebration.
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast...
They gathered with their bitcoin knives and finally killed the beast.
Last thing I remember, I was logging off of TOR... I had to find a way to live with the cash I'd trusted before...
Relax, said Satoshi, they're all built to deceive. You can log off any time you like, but you'll no longer believe!
*plays awesome solo*

wow, that is sad.
Yeah, but expected, right?
What do you expect from a company that is intimately tied to the US dollar and controlled by central banking systems. It was totally expected by me. I have great ebay feedback and never sold or bought with bitcoins PRECISELY BECAUSE OF THIS.
Ebay and Paypal and the Kings servants. Like Goldman Sachs.
Fuck Paypal. Lets just pour salt on their wounds while we take over the system ourselves. We can do anything now that we have bitcoins. We'll take the knife and slay the beast and drink from the blood while we confuse it with wine in celebration.
wow, that is sad.
I fear this will be the end of paypal.
Wait a minute. I fear not.

Thank you. Googling it shows it is a new policy that is quite widespread. See http://www.markjohnsonblog.com/2011/07/17/paypal-payment-holds-policy-begins/ for instance.

You may have received an email or notice when you logged in to your PayPal account about the new PayPal Hold Policy that is affecting ALL customers regardless of their status or past history.
Well good. If they're doing this to everyone then maybe they've seriously wounded themselves. I mean honestly, the only reason anyone uses paypal in the first place is that everyone uses it.
From the article Spruce linked:
So basically... We hold your cash if we feel like it.

Though we can’t include every reason your account may have been affected here, here are some common reasons:
- You have limited history or selling activity with eBay and PayPal
- You have low Detailed Seller Ratings, negative Feedback or other indication of below-standard performance on eBay
- You have a high rate of customer refunds, disputes, claims or chargebacks
- You’re selling in a high risk category or industry such as, but not limited to, tickets, travel, gift certificates, computers, consumer electronics, or cell phones
- Your business or selling activity is inconsistent. For example, you have a spike in selling activity, your average selling price changes, or you started selling in a new category without an established history in that category
- The account information you have provided is incomplete or inaccurate, or we’re uncertain with the information you’ve provided
- Your withdrawal activity has changed
So basically... We hold your cash if we feel like it.
They did the same thing to me recently and I have more then 300+ feedback on eBay and all are postive.
Any mention of bitcoins in your auctions?
I've never sold bitcoins on eBay or through PayPal.

WELCOME, in the new world of bitcoin, a business who thinks they own the world is not able to arbitrarily hold your money for ANY reason, even if they have government ordinances from the highest authority.
Exactly. We should publicize this heavily as a prime example of why bitcoin > paypal. Arguments like "bitcoin > USD" are tough to argue and require that the audience either know or be taught on-the-spot some basic economic concepts, but showing it to be a better digital payment method than paypal requires none of that and we now have at least one definitive example that doesn't require citing the politically-charged WikiLeaks case.
Congratulations LongMarch, your story just became my new biggest talking point.

But you do sometimes have to worry about the government ordnance that can be brought to bear. If they don't want you around, legality or illegality isn't always a major factor.
What item were you supposed to deliver?
