Same thing with Paypal - I opened a business account, was able to do one transaction and was shut down for fraud. I tested a donation to myself. Under $10. Lifetime ban.

- sithadmin 11mo agoThat’s not unique to PayPal. Pretty much any payment processor that detects a proprietor paying themselves is going to throw up a red flag for circular cash flow fraud and close the account. Bank-operated payment processors are often slower to catch it, but they will also boot you for this.
- calvinmorrison 11mo agoreal payment processors also you just call on the phone and they fix it. That's not a real problem. we do test orders on many go lives per year and never see this. Yes there are sandboxes, but you always gotta test real transactions by the end.
- GoblinSlayer 11mo agoHere clown world is going strong too. My bank bans me every time I pay taxes.
- CaptainOfCoit 11mo agoMy bank displays me a popup warning me to check who I'm sending money to every time I make a transfer. If I've made that same transfer before, after showing that, it's also telling me that it won't ask for 2FA for this transfer, because I've made it so many times before. High quality or even medium quality software and UX is getting harder and harder to find.
- slenk 11mo agoOk - but maybe tell me that? They won't officially tell me anything or let me talk to a person. Form email every time. At the time I didn't have a better way to test that my form worked.
- abustamam 11mo agoFuck PayPal. Fwiw Venmo is run by the same thugs who run PayPal. So go figure.
- slenk 11mo agoYup. Both bad companies IMO
- wpm 11mo agoI sold some camera equipment on eBay once. PayPal flagged my account as fraudulent, asked for a receipt for the equipment which I did not have (I bought it years before), so they banned my account indefinitely. Randomly, years later, they turned it back on. Thanks, I guess?
- slenk 11mo agoThey want to make money off your transactions again I guess. Must get more from Ebay
