"Do not use VPNs if you do not want to be flagged or blocked." I hope that was sarcastic.
I do understand that legitimate VPN users are probably a small percentage of Paypal total user base and that a large portion of frauders use VPN (I don't know what percentage of VPN users who paypal are trying to commit fraud, could be the majority, I don't know) But using VPN should cause you to get flagged. It has a very legitimate use. A lot of people use them when on the go to protect themselves while on wifi. I use a VPN all the time when I'm not at home (well aside from working at home which I do over vpn).
I don't see why I should expose myself to avoid being flagged.
- rhizome 14y agoI don't see why I should expose myself to avoid being flagged. Don't you explain this yourself? If few PP users use VPN and a large portion of fraudsters use VPN, I think we can chalk this one up to cold math despite the is/ought problem.
- untog 14y agoI don't see why I should expose myself to avoid being flagged. Because it isn't worth PayPal's time to cater to you. Seriously, go and use a different provider. I know that sounds incredibly flippant, but it's the reality- PayPal will stop blocking VPNs when it is financially prudent for them to do so. Of all companies, would you expect anything different from PayPal?
