Because PayPal provides users with the option to ask for refund which can be very expensive for them. If they deem the risk is too high they won't do business with you.
- ollysb 13y agoIt seems a bit late in the day to decide not to do business with you if they've already taken money on your behalf.
- the_mitsuhiko 13y agoNo further business. The money they have frozen they are holding in escrow to help the increased risk of refunds.
- smackfu 13y agoThe alternative is to shut down payments in the middle of a launch. Which Paypal will do, and it's not like people like that any better.
