That's not really the attitude towards curing disease.

Everyone is welcome to their own opinion, but I find it odd that you'd be 'very glad' someone like me has been banned from PayPal? As the top comment points out, surely it would have been fine once I turned 18 anyway. To be h

Apologies, I've commented a few times on this thread, I've managed to get most of the money, minus fees, back. Whilst there's no option in the modern UI, if you set your account back to use the classic UI, the refund button a

Interesting! If I wanted the account back I'd be tempted to fight back, but there's nothing to gain.

I've not heard of privacy.com, but I'll definitely take a look. This post has been useful for a lot of people, and it's been great to find a load of new useful services.

Interestingly, this article just tanked from 6th to 38th according to hnrankings.info, maybe I've found a conspiracy for my next Medium article.

I'm pretty sure PayPal have updated their ToS since and I've had to re-agree upon login? Would that not cover me?

I'll completely admit, I didn't use the phone service this time, purely because I've called it before. After a ton of verification, they just want you to use the resolution center. You can arrange for someone senior to call y

Good! I haven't heard of it but I'll take a look, I think we're likely to use Western Union for our global transfers now, but will shop around first.

I did think about contacting the financial ombudsman or similar to recoup the fees or something, but I thought hopefully an article that gets a few thousand readers might do more financial damage than a hushed away small claims court ruling

I wish I'd known prior so I could have done the same, I've spent all day having to try and transfer accounts for hosting and so on. At least it'll help others avoid the same, takes away some of PayPal's 'get out of

eBay is the biggest heartache for me, I do a lot with older cars and motorcycles, so buying/selling parts is routine for me and will be a pain to sort out.

I'm in the UK but my friend Mat is in Aus and does run in to problems with them now and then, I'll pass the information on.

Yeah, in my initial outburst of rage to my other half about the situation I just described it as it's like a company turning around and sacking you because you took home an expensive stapler several years ago, it's just a random g

I've managed to recoup most of the money (minus fees, after 30 minutes of digging and switching to the classic UI), I'm not interested in using PayPal anymore. The good thing about it being on HN/Medium and getting some views

I was tempted to call, but I just managed to refund the money (sans fees) to my friend and we'll use something else now. I'm not going to call or contact them at all, I'm no longer interested in using their services. I'm

Thanks, I managed to do this an hour ago. It's actually hidden in the new UI, there was no button that would let me do it, I managed to go back to settings and re-enable the classic UI, then in the view transaction details page I found

It's almost as if they have a PR department that's geared towards pissing people off.

I'm 26 now, almost 27. I think it was the "We'll contact you within 180 days" thing that pissed me off the most, because it's just such a crap, random number that I likely agreed to in their ToS. As a partial update

I wanted to end the article with 'Fuck PayPal' but I felt it was implied by that point. I've spent my entire Saturday so far logging in to things and updating them to use credit cards. Unfortunately there is one thing so far

If you opened your PayPal account before you were 18, close it(medium.com)

This seems like a very weird solution to a problem that doesn't really warrant it. Can you let me know which sites you own so I know not to visit them...

I've done that for a couple of clients, but I wanted something I could entirely automate and my current host have randomly broken permissions and stuff during maintenance. I manage most of that stuff already anyway, I was wondering if

As a YZ250 owner and HN frequenter, I'm both thrilled and confused as to why this is on the front page.

At home I use Sennheiser HD600s, often through my Marantz PM60005 amp, or a portable Fiio amp. If I'm at work I just Sennheiser Momentums, over-ear kind. The HD600s are brilliant for gaming, music and movies, but obviously are open bac
