Just heard from Slimline that Paypal have suspended his account and stolen his money with no explanation!
I'm flabbergasted and outraged. It seems unbelievable but apparently it's true.

They must have provided a reason, most likely that they suspect the account of illegal activity. I've known this happen to other sites' donation accounts. If he provides evidence of its perfectly legal use... ie links to this website, server bills, testimony from donators etc it should be possible to get it reopened...

Re: Paypal a scam?
use bitcoin, paypal is a joke and will suspend an account without warning and without good reason, oh any bitcoin does not discriminate on country like paypal and Mastercard.Lemming wrote:Just heard from Slimline that Paypal have suspended his account and stolen his money with no explanation!

They must find it difficult, those who have taken authority as truth, rather than truth as authority

Re: Paypal a scam?
I've had a very active Paypal Acct for many years and never had a problem. In fact with the Paypal Debit card, it is easier and cheaper to withdraw Euros from ATMs then any other I know of. They have to follow the same rules as any other bank and there is an explanation and the ability to dispute the issue and it has to be settled in a certain amount of time. If you really are being screwed by them in some way then you go to the appropriate regulator and file a complaint that also will be followed up on. How much money is in question btw?

lemme know and i'll try to help ya.
they've been known to shut accounts down, but if you call them and explain it, they usually turn it back on.

I am not really sure what that means. The hindenburg caught fire, burnt and crashed out of the sky.
Bitcoin is just alive and well with more and more market/merchant adoption every day.
There will be several Bitcoin ATM machines appearing in Amsterdam very soon
