A few years ago, got an Ural motorbike and set off across a frozen lake Baikal to find the cabin of Sylvain Tesson, a French author that spent a full winter in the cabin. http://travel.ninjito.com/images/2018-03-15-Sibe

I do this with MailGun across a multitude of professional / company domains. Never has a problem with deliverability. MailGun has a very nice option where you can use RegEx in your routing rules, even across domains (and subjects, rec

There are third party solutions to fraud that actually work, providing chargeback insurance. Essentially, they screen transactions; if any approved transactions are chargebacked, they refund you. A good start point is https://sig

Other elements are simply incorrect. If a customer lodges a chargeback, you pay a chargeback fee : https://www.paypal.com/ca/smarthelp/article/what-is-the-char...

PayPal has not stopped their freeze/seize gambit. A few examples of these clauses being exercised were on HN (both cases pending) - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29935515 - https://news.ycombinator.co

Very interesting, as the text I quoted comes from the PayPal LU site..

The CSSF is the "Comission for Surveillance of the Finance Sector". Paypal LU is a credit insitution, but not a bank. It falls under the CSSF's jurisdiction: "PayPal has the status of a Luxembourg credit institution and

The most disappointing element of this whole process was to see PayPal manipulating the entities that are meant to provide regulatory control. In this instance the CSSF is rigorous, but ultimately rigid. They have clearly defined boundaries

We discovered it first hand - we run Lab401. PayPal seized ~50k from us (check the first link in my original post). It took us literally a month of calling LU law firms until we finally found one that didn't have ties to / being t

It's not as cut-and-dry as it seems. Noone leaves 1.3M in an account. When your account starts generating income, they place a 'light hold' on the account - requesting 'reasonable' information. During this time, you

PayPal performed a "freeze and seize" on our account ~12 months ago, netting just over 50k EUR. They then went on a war of attrition, enumerating across distinct companies, shareholders seizing funds across all accounts (including

I'd recommend trying a 3rd party fraud scrubbing service. Stripe's Radar is all well and good, but they have no skin in the game. If they're right or wrong, you're on the hook. Services like SIGNIFYD apply their own frau

You are correct, but the aim of the reddit post / this post is to get the problem solved. Billing is a complicated subject, and fraud is even more complicated. A well placed, polite email to C-level staff often fixes the problem, but c

You can try contacting Edwin ( edwin@stripe.com ) - he's often on HN and has unstuck quite a few Stripe issues for me and other HNers.

It really is an incredible piece of kit. I'd picked mine up (the Fuji TX-2 version) on a trip to Hong Kong for 2kUSD at the time. Dragged it literally around the world, but stopped using it because it was starting to show the wear, and

Likewise the Fuji TX-2. Same camera, different logo. Still expensive, but less expensive.

If you're in the market, I can suggest the Fuji TX-2 - which is exactly the same camera. They're both expensive, but you pay more for the Hasselblad logo.

Great post and resources. I'd personally found that picking never stuck: Something between understanding the fundamentals and individual pin picking that my brain refuses to handle. With that said, I discovered impressioning, which I f
