Yes after a talk with somebody higher up it has been agreed on that the funds will be released and that the Dwolla account will be closed.

Bad check analogy: A check is not a ACH transfer. It will obviously take some time until a check is cleared. During the verification of the check the bank doesn't deactivate the account and freeze all the funds. The fact is that Dwolla has for no reason deactivated the account and froze the...

Temporary? It has been more than a week since the account and funds are inaccessible. No financial institution I have ever dealt with does that (not even PayPal) if there is no a good reason (court order, etc). It doesn't take more than a day to verify the identify given the information they...

Instead of using an expensive wire transfer (US Bank -> US Bank), they used the Dwolla account to share the rent. She received the payment and got her account blocked / funds frozen when she tried to withdraw the funds to her US bank account. No black hat style business.

So much about the Paypal alternative: /blackhat-seo/making-money/383314-dwolla-warning.html

Despite legitimate use of the Dwolla account (rent/expense sharing) Dwolla has deactivated my friend's Dwolla account and has frozen the funds for more than one week now. She has provided all the requested documents to Dwolla. Namely the following documents: 2 picture ids (US passport), US...

Yep the payment method is no longer available now. I would say bad for Plimus since everybody else is still processing Paypal orders.

Be aware of the new 2co fees starting 1st January 2012: URL removed Google for "2checkout SCHEDULE AOPERATING REGULATIONS FEE SCHEDULE" Chargeback fees almost tripe: From 11 USD to 30 USD.

Very bad idea to incorporate in NY. Get a LLC in delaware, Wyoming, New Mexico, etc.

Nope. For us the only choice right now is 2co. But I have been thinking of dropping paypal recently. It's not a big loss and who (legitimate customer) doesn't have a credit card these days? Amazon and co don't accept paypal either and I haven't heard anybody complaining about it.

What is your business about? They should accept you unless you are in the prohibited list of services/products or have some other shady business (like selling email accounts).

"All transactions under $10 are now free. +1 for small business." I guess the good news before the storm of bad ones (higher fees for all other transactions) on the 15th?

Hm interesting. What you guys see as fun (bidding, checking sellers rating, dealing with individual sellers) is a hassle for me. So I pretty much stopped using ebay and go directly to Amazon (or to whatever seller from google shopping that has the lowest price). Amazon has been extremely...
