Again PayPal...Again, on 1st November

[Stan Fox]

PayPal limited my business USA account. If last year there was my home country business acc, not it was USA.
We had 0.15% dispute rate.

We do not sell social signals or facebook/instagramm likes, only pure quality SEO services. Most clients stay with us for a long and do not cancel their subscriptions....

WTF I'm doing wrong guys? Can someone advise me here in PM?
I've made all this sh*t with US LLC, original bank account, have spent lots of money to organize all these things!

And the result is the same!

I'm not even speaking about money left on the account, but all those subscriptions which are much more important...

I've tried to use 2checkout to accept PayPal, but for people who understand subscription business my big advice - don't do it

If a client once in his history unsubbed from 2CO (not even your service), then he would not be paying automatically next month.
It's much worse than a separate PayPal account.

Any advice?

Assholes. That's my comment.

Sorry for your loss.

It's the word "SEO" - make sure none of your payment pages or invoices say "SEO" otherwise all your accounts will get terminated one day or another.

It's pretty annoying when they limit your account and keep asking for documents

Ours was a fully verified business account, only ever had 2 disputes and we won both of them but they still locked and closed the account, with zero warning and held over £30k which they released on day 181.

They refused to give us any answers as to their action.

Paypal really are the arseholes of the business world.

All I can say is that they (Paypal) now think that all digital / non-physical products are scam (unfortunately). I've embraced crypto for payments & very happy. And wait another 2 years, buyers will no longer say "I do not use crypro".

Are you banned? What do you mean by limited?

Bro, have you added a real ITIN or SSN to your acc?

Have you tried stripe?

Have you tried stripe?

Nowadays Strip and PayPal are in a competition between themselves for limiting / suspending accounts of people who sell non-physical / digital products. It is their "digital sellers ban olympics" . But, thank heavens, after 2 years, buyers will no longer say "I do not use crypto".

Sh*tter like PayPal, but anyway they do not process PayPal, only cards

Did a small research and there are two alternatives: Gumroad and Braintree
Anyone got any experience with these two?

 

[SnitchHunter]

Paypal randomly limits accounts. At least that's what I think.

 

[MasterSocial]

Wow! That must be so frustrating. PP should get their sh*t together.

100% agree, I had 2 real PayPal accounts. I actually spoke to their L2 customer service who told me SEO is against their TOS.


In one word PayPal is "Unreliable"

 

[SOCOM]

Try using something like QuickBooks or Wave Apps to process subscription payments

Payment is part of business

This same reason is why I've been scared of using it as a payment method on my store or other payment pages. I don't want to have customers' money stuck while products hasn't been delivered.

Unfortunately we have not viable alternative that is well trusted by users.

Sorry for what happened. Have you considered Paddle before? I once patronized a seller on this forum and he was using paddle. I think paddle accepts Paypal payments. See if it'll work for you.

Asides paddle I remember once trying to sell an ebook on gumroad, I don't know if they accept your kind of service.

At this time you need to collect payment through a third-party processor that would be the bridge between you and Paypal.

gumroad now requires you to connect your PayPal it seems

paddle looks promising just heard about them now
