Topic: PayPal limited Account

I don´t want to start a panik here but PayPal did close down several of my accounts within a few day´s.
They told me because of adult contet. The funny thing is, I do not have any of this content on my site at all.
Writing to them by e-mail (the guy´s on the phone can not help you at all) takes for ever to get an answer IF you get one.
They still point toward their policity and agreements but do not point out exactly why they limited the account. Taking off the limitation is according to several posts online almost unpossible.
Just be aware, that this could happen to anybody who is using PayPal on their site as an payment option.

Re: PayPal limited Account

Your site could have been linking to adult content which is the same for paypal.

Re: PayPal limited Account

What is your site URL. That happen to me. It turn out that the adult content was adsense ads. I used adsense  filter to remove certain ads.

Anyways, maybe another set of eyes can see something you don't. That is why I asked you what your URL was.

Re: PayPal limited Account

I have taken all my sites offline and am fighting with paypal now. I installed 2 banner from banner exchange at the top of my pages. I´ve never payed attention to what they were showing there since i was busy with my regular work.
What makes me mad is actually, that PayPal never mentioned exactly what they don´t like and caused the limitation. I saw pages with really pur adult content online and they still could offer payments via PayPal. So I am wondering why a banner in written form would make them limiting my account.
Anyway..... I leave PayPal. I am not interested doing business with a company where I am not able to talk to a person about what´s going on and get an answer with which I can work and do changes. Especialy since they handle my money.
Thank you db3204 for your offer. I do appreciate your help and might come back as soon as my sites are back online (you should start learn german..... :-)   )
Thank you vlad for your tipp with the links.

I´ll definetly thake those off from my pages

Re: PayPal limited Account

Hi guys,

I was thinking about using paypal but they have the same attitude as ebay... There are real adult sites out there using it... A phone call in advance did not help a thing because they could not tell me if my site is conform with their requstes. They do not review it at application, but a could be that they stop their service if someone complains...
