I did get as far as being told that this had been reported to them by an individual, NOT a Company, so it would seem someone took umbrage at not winning during our four Fundraisers run on POTV over the years.

That is outrageous.

@Deaf Vaper Yes, my account has been Closed by PayPal. No warning, nothing. Investigations have thrown 2 major issues up that were hidden away in their T&Cs. Any fundraising activity using PP is a No, No. I did get as far as being told that this had been reported to them by an individual, NOT a Company, so it would seem someone took umbrage at not winning during our four Fundraisers run on POTV over the years.

Yes okay, thank you. Just been researching online....it appears things will get worse in the states when Biden takes over..i wasn't aware he was vehemently opposed to vaping..i gather he intends to ban it until more research is conducted on it first. Could this be the reason why PP has suddenly changed it's attitude towards anybody involved with vaping?

 

[Deaf Vaper]

yes @Deaf Vaper , do it immediately.

Okay..have just done it. Now i need to find another payment service, just in case this one goes for a burton. Looking into Sage atm.

Also.....just in case my account does get frozen....what alternative reliable online payment services are there? I've never used anything else other than PayPal/Visa Debit. I've heard of Sage, but know nothing about them..and there is another one called Worldpay? What would folks recommend?

A pre paid credit card or a credit card with a low credit limit? I use a top debit card, by default, not design, I only have a basic bank account, hopefully limits my exposure to fraud. It's not that i don't trust most websites I use, it's that they might be hacked or my browser and pc might become compromised.

I buy & sell vinyl records

If you have a list of for sales, please PM me and also link me to your discogs list, if you, of course, use discogs, cheers

Maybe keep using Paypal until you find another way, whilst emptying paypal as often as reasonably possible.

I've never had a credit card before......the problem is this though...most ebay/discog vendors use PP as their main payment option....with some major outlets taking debit/credit cards too. If i set up a new account with say Sage or Stripe..or some other service...i dare say a lot of online services may not have these options listed....and buyers using eBay may not have accounts with these services. Thus if my PP account gets frozen that's my eBay account buggered too, as i only accept payments via PP atm. I've never done bank transfers, so i wouldn't know whats involved with that....essentially i think what i'm saying is....PP has really thrown a spanner in the works.....and i'm not vape vendor!

I did use discogs until they changed their shipping payment system recently, which is nigh on impossible to set up..so i'm out of that as well! I now only use discogs to keep an inventory of my collection. I haven't anything on sale atm, but if i do it'll go up on ebay or private sales. I am just a small potatos amateur seller, dealing in niche psyche rock bands mainly. Pretty much anything off the Flightless label in Australia, plus psychedelic porn crumpets and other euro/row psyche bands. Favourite band is King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

What sort of music are you into?

Can totally recommend viva wallet

also now used by a lot of vape vendors - I suspect. They have a very sudden upturn in business over the last couple of months

in honesty - I’m pleased it happened (other than our assets being frozen) viva wallet is miles better

YES!! I am afraid that one has to keep as little as possible in your PP Account

I've just checked me BA, the funds have been transferred...and will do..not that i'm selling anything presently.
