I have an issue with companies punishing other companies because their customers might be doing something that they don't agree with.
- tacos 11y agoSome customer bases are just shady. If you don't mitigate fraud, it's not fair to push it uphill to your service providers. They will stop providing service when you're more trouble than the money you generate. Business 101, this is not a tech issue.
- jonknee 11y agoLook at a merchant account agreement sometime, there are all sorts of businesses deemed too risky for conventional payment processors. It's not unique to PayPal and you would be almost instantly in bankruptcy if you didn't set restrictions on the types of businesses you process for. https://www.braintreepayments.com/legal/acceptable-use-policy https://www.braintreepayments.com/legal/acceptable-use-polic... Restricted activities include some obvious sketchy areas (check cashing) and some less obvious sketchy areas (human hair, fake hair or hair-extensions).

It's completely within their right to mitigate that risk based on the profiles of the industries they deal with and this is what keeps them in business.
