Hi,

I just want to warning the community about stripe as a payement option. I just got an e-mail and they don't want to give my monney until I prove I've the right to sell my Star Wars item. I've a dropshipping site about star wars and ofc it's aliexpress stuff so I didn't get the Disney green light.

Don't use them at all please. We need to fight these practices. I switched to paypal.

If you had read their TOS this wouldn't have happened to you.

This is 100% your fault. Don't blame the company and try to get people not to use them bc you made a dumb mistake.

And btw, PP is even worse than Stripe, especially for dropshipping.
 
Yeah @Reaver, ofc you're so perfect you read :
- Facebook TOS
- Instagram TOS
- Twitter
- Paypal
- Stripe
- ....

Give me a break :) . I just wanted to warn the community

Oh please.

When you sign up for a payment processor, the first thing you do is look at the TOS. These people are handling your money. You should know if your business is allowed and what happens if you get caught before you sign up to use them.

https://stripe.com/us/prohibited-businesses

It says right there that copyrighted material is prohibited from being bought and sold using their platform.

It's easily accessible from the TOS page. I found it in less than a minute.

Again, this is 100% your fault.

I'm hardly angry sugar.

OP needs to put the blame where it belongs. It's not with Stripe.

This.

I'm pretty anal when it comes to setting up with a payment processor and look for that before anything at all.

@dub28 - the heads up is appreciated and this thread serves the community in the form of education as well as instruction when you set up with a payment processor.

It does suck that they are holding your money as I've not ever had that particular issue with Stripe and I use them for things that might be on the edge at times.
 
ok boss is here better simmer down now, hi bass lol.

I think they only do it in cases like this.

This is a Disney product. Stripe isn't going to risk the Happiest Lawyers on Earth coming after them.

8. Suspicion of Unauthorized or Illegal Use
Click to expand...
We may refuse, condition, or suspend any Transactions that we believe may violate this Agreement or other agreements you may have with Stripe; or that expose you, Stripe, or others to risks unacceptable to Stripe. If we suspect or know that you are using or have used the Services for unauthorized, fraudulent, or illegal purposes, we may share any information related to such activity with the appropriate financial institution, regulatory authority, or law enforcement agency consistent with our legal obligations. This information may include information about you, your Stripe Account, your Customers, and Transactions made through your use of the Services.

10. Termination
Click to expand...
a. Term and Termination: This Agreement is effective upon the date you first access or use the Services and continues until terminated by you or Stripe. You may terminate this Agreement by closing your Stripe Account at any time by opening the data tab in your account settings, selecting “close my account” and ceasing to use the Service. If you use the Service again or register for another Stripe Account, you are consenting to this Agreement. We may terminate this Agreement or close your Stripe Account at any time for any reason by providing you Notice. We may suspend your Stripe Account and your ability to access funds in your Stripe Account, or terminate this Agreement, if (i) we determine in our sole discretion that you are ineligible for the Service because of significant fraud or credit risk, or any other risks associated with your Stripe Account; and (ii) you use the Services in a prohibited manner or otherwise do not comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement; or (iii) any Law or Financial Services Provider requires us to do so.

b. Effects of Termination: Termination does not immediately relieve you of obligations incurred by you under this Agreement. Upon termination, you agree to (i) complete all pending Transactions, (ii) stop accepting new Transactions through the Service, and (iii) immediately remove all Stripe or payment network logos from your website (unless permitted under a separate license with the payment network). Your continued or renewed use of the Service after all pending Transactions have been processed serves to renew your consent to the terms of this Agreement. If you terminate this Agreement, we will pay out any remaining funds owed to you in accordance with Section C.

In addition, upon termination you understand and agree that (i) all licenses granted to you by Stripe under this Agreement will end; (ii) we reserve the right (but have no obligation) to delete all of your information and account data stored on our servers within 10 days of termination; (iii) we will not be liable to you for compensation, reimbursement, or damages related to your use of the Service, or any termination or suspension of the Service or deletion of your information or account data; and (iv) you are still liable to us for any Fees or fines, or other financial obligation incurred by you or through your use of the Service prior to termination.
