Help: PAYPAL now targeting ebay sellers | |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 77203445 United States 02/28/2019 07:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This leaves me in a real bind. I have many thousands of dollars of inventory in stock, and no way to sell it. If anyone has expertise about setting up a merchant website, I'd be very grateful for you advise. This is new territory for me, but I'm intelligent, and eager to learn. THIS IS WAR!!! Make no mistake about it, the "left" wants to starve us conservatives out any way they can. |

Any merchant selling these products and offering PP is either doing so without PP's knowledge or with written permission. That permission can be revoked by PP at any time, for any reason, without explanation, and without recourse by the merchant. |

User ID: 77376617 United States 02/28/2019 08:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What we are dealing with with Paypal, Fakebook, Twatter, etc, is actually several violations of anti-trust and monopoly issues. They need to enforce the antitrust and monopoly laws, IN EVERYTHING. Perhaps, in another communication, you can mention to Paypal that antitrust issues need to be addressed. Hopefully they will just respond and rescind the stupid suspension. Hope it works out. It's tough to set up a site without taking Paypal for items, and getting people to go there is difficult as well. Things are bad enough, there is no need to make anything up. ~Fluffy "Never interrupt an enemy in the process of destroying himself." Quercitin and zinc...Get it. Take it.

Never surf the internet with payment apps on your phone or tablet. You don't want the banks nor credit card companies to know you visit places like GLP. Keep your controversial internet surfing for the PC that you don't do any banking on and use a foreign vpn that doesn't keep logs. |

User ID: 77416429 United States 02/28/2019 08:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For 2 years I've owned, and managed a successful ebay store. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77203445 In order to sell on ebay, you must have a paypal account to process payments, and purchase postage from ebay. Just today I received notification that my paypal account is restricted due to "violations". The email I received from paypal stated that I was in violation for selling "ecig devices/accessories". My store sells several items related to aromatherapy, and has for many months. These are not restricted items, and I've never had issues like this before. Again, this is after many months of selling on ebay. So here's my suspicion: We've all heard about paypal teaming up with Southern Poverty Law Center to deny Conservatives from using their services. There has been a lot of talk about this at GLP lately. I suspect that they're tracking internet usage of account holders, and targeting those who frequent conservative leaning sites, and/or those who leave "conservative" comments on forums/comment sections. I've appealed this decision with paypal, and am waiting on a reply. This thread will be updated with that response when, and if I get one. Not sure on the timetable but Ebay is replacing Paypal, you should have received notice of this last year. I know Ebay eliminate vaping juice as being able to be sold but they still allow vaping devices and accessories. Many online vape stores utilize Paypal as a means of checkout (stores not related to Ebay) so I'm thinking there must be some other problem with what you are selling. Perhaps they are thinking it is drug related??? Ask Alice when she's 10ft tall This is a battle for the future of civilization. If free speech is lost even in America, tyranny is all that lies ahead.

smith mason User ID: 69473501 United States 02/28/2019 09:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is a lot of scams going on which makes it harder for Ebay & paypal both to control. Especially people like you that don't have computer skills, one wrong move and they steal your information. How you expect ebay or paypal to know it is real you. When you receive email that ask you to click here. Never click within that email. Get out of there. If you need to go to Ebay, start from the URL of your browser (Fresh page). If you need to go to Paypal, do the same. These hackers got so sophisticated that even the skilled people make mistakes and fall for their tricks. I am sure if you work with paypal and they know that you are a victim, they will help you. Good luck. |

From what I understand, Ebay is phasing out paypal and going with their own ebay payments anyway so it won't even matter in the future. Check into it. I've recently purchased a window curtain from an ebay seller that didn't accept paypal, only ebay's payments. I asked her why and that is what she told me. |
