It was a few months ago after I read this and withdrawn almost all paypal balance just in case.
Since then was trying to keep balance as low as possible.

This month received some large payments and got account banned (closed).

Just warning you guys to be careful with paypal selling social media services.
Does anyone knows any alternatives of accepting paypal (or cc) payments for social media services (accounts, proxies, software)?

How are they identifying and closing these accounts?

Did people report you?

On the other thread someone mentioned this will happen if you request buyers pay as "friends and family". Also, are you based in the USA?

I'm sick of Paypal and their iresponsible employees. Looking forward to the day they will disappear.

It wasn't too hard to identify in OP's case. He used it as a payment gateway on his site, where the type of the business is clearer than the sun. It can be that the payment sum in itself triggered a manual review. Also, when people pay, they can leave a note, i can imagine PayPal can filter this and if the notes contain keywords of non-supported activities, they take a closer look. And yes, people, competitors can report you too.

For people selling instagram account, it can be the same destiny ?

This can be a sad news for a number of sellers here. Payment gateways have their own limitations.

My main PayPal got banned too without reasons, Paypal is literally shit.

 

[BetterKnow]

If only PayPal had a competitor, that would force them to use better business practices

It's unknown whether the info in the linked thread is true. There's no actual source for it, apart from OP's claims.

Are you sure that you got banned due to selling social media services and not because of something else? Maybe you had too many disputes or received payments mostly as f&f?

 

[Social Panel]

Hm that’s interesting because i had just won a dispute a few days ago in which i told paypal I was selling social media services, showed images and proof and everything and not only did my account stay open, but I won the case as well.

No, not for digital products.. a good portion of their business is based on digital products. It's regarding social media services, most of these service break said platforms TOS, and they also deal with alot of problems with account sales as people sell accounts and they sometimes no longer work, and buyers want their money back. It's a tricky business having to be the middle man between that.

This isn't surprising though, PayPal been screwing over people, this isn't anything new. It's just so many people use PayPal, you lose ou on alot of business if you don't use them.

 

[Captain_Nothing]

Are the people getting shut down due to selling actually Instagram accounts or follower/like related?

OP's site is related to selling accounts which I'm sure Paypal would shut down.
