I appreciate your concern but I've been online long enough not to get scammed, or at least I hope so. Paypal actually didn't have the decency to send me an email saying they need more info to lift a limitation. I was only made awa

LOL buddy where I come from you don't disclose an extremely profitable niche on a public forum online where the majority of the community is familiar with ecommerce and business online is general. I'm not saying what I sell becaus

No idea, clearly they aren't paying attention to anything I say and just send automated replies. No one to talk to, nothing to do. I'm assuming complaints with different organizations to see if they can help.

For one, Payouts are 7-days in arrear where as with Paypal it's instant. Second, Shopify just started with this processing thing and they are amateurs at it, support has been horrible and they also keep changing their rules and require

I have a CAD Paypal account - but I charge customers in USD. To withdraw money I have to pay Paypal's exchange rate, they won't let me attach a Canadian USD bank account. That means I have to pay exchange rate to take money out, t

Yes, when I was advertising I was doing close to $300k a month - I advertised on FB, there are still thousands of people who have my shared ad on the top of their newsfeed to this day. On top of that, I rank #1 on Google for my main keyword

You are free to not buy it my friend, but one day Paypal will give you the hammer and you will see just how believeable this is. In fact, there are countless threads online with the same story. You've never had a rep from a big company

They do not accept emails, they email from service@paypal.com which is a no-reply address. The only way to provide them with tracking numbers is through the Resolution Center - yet in the resolution center they don't provide any transa

Not sure what kind of volume you were doing to get that chargeback rate. I was doing 500 sales a day, approximately $250k a month in volume when I was running, my dispute rate was high but chargebacks lost were minimal. Despite that, Paypal

Sorry for the delayed reply, HN wasn't letting me comment. You don't seem to understand that Paypal agreed to my 2% chargeback rate, in fact they came up with the $5000 set reserve + 10% rolling reserve in order to let me run. Not

I've processed successfully hundreds of thousands of dollars with my Paypal account over the pat 4-5 years. My account has been on review a few different times because of volume spikes (around the holiday season, I do ecommerce). When
