On my opinion, this is why Google Payments never took off: they used the same smart-ass approach to shut down merchant accounts, knowing when a merchant was about to commit payment fraud before it was actually committed. In the case of sale of physical goods, an account termination could be much more harmful, so people stuck with PayPal, no matter how imperfect it was.
- waqf 15y agoI don't understand. If you're smart enough to shut down an account before it does anything fraudulent, then you have no conceivable excuse not to pay the balance out when you close the account.
- shingen 15y agoNo excuse, simple theft. Google steals millions of dollars every year from AdSense 'partners' who have done absolutely nothing wrong. Google's AdSense forums are overflowing with stories where they've stolen from publishers over the slightest of infraction (and many cases in which absolutely nothing occurred). Their method of AdSense theft is one of the greatest rackets in the history of the Internet.
