Hello

I know it is not related to OT stuff (hope I am not breaking forum rules) but I hope someone can help with any information related to my problem.

Mid of July I got a message from PayPal telling me that my account is limited forever and I can't use it anymore (permanent limitation).
I tried a lot to contact them using message center and by calling but answer was the same each time (that I broke this rule Acceptable Use Policy and my activity is risk on PayPal and on users).
I am sure I didn't do anything illegal, I was using PayPal to receive payments from players that donate to my server and send money to people who I hire to make some jobs related to OT.
I made a new account after this situation and started to work with it and yesterday I got the same message and same behavior from PayPal customer support. (I feel they don't want to talk or give you any information about what exactly you did).
I find it very weird because I was using PayPal for years plus there are many people who are using PayPal without any problems with OT stuff.

I hope if someone knows any information that can help.
Thanks

I received 6 payments 0.01 EUR each. 2 were 'chargebacks' and after 6 months I get paypal permanent ban on my firm account.
I contacted with them and they said they got no idea why I get ban, there is 'automatic algorithm' and they can't change that decision.
As my account was 100% verified with all my firm papers scans, they banned my company tax ID and I can't create new business account. It was 4 years ago.

Somehow.. my private account with same address/name data is not banned from 10 years.

Sad for you of course but at least they told you that there is automatic algorithm and explained a bit.
My account is 100% verified too with all needed papers (ID proof, address proof)
I am just wondering why they don't wanna say anything about the problem. (each message I send I get almost same reply from different customer supporters)
 
I contacted them few times over next months after ban. Always other person responded.
Creating new accounts is waste of time, they will ban you before you payout.

Some people get random bans for nothing and some run otses with 1000+ and 10%+ chargebacks for years.

Ask some friend to create account and give you access/accept your OTS payments.

I will keep trying to contact them to give any information.
I just don't like that feeling when no one give me information about something is related to me like what happened.
Is the problem with me? my country? selling virtual points? running ot? it is really weird.
I want to know the problem and what I did to avoid it and not to get another limitation because if I used a friend's PayPal, maybe his account get limitation too.
 
I did not run ots. I did not accept any payments. Just few test payments from friends and 2 chargebacks. I was preparing to accept ots payments, but they banned me before I started ots.

Now I can accept ots payments on private account, but it will generate serious tax problems in Poland, if I get XXXX $ per month 'not on firm account''.

Oh omg.
PayPal is weird and dealing with people without any information is sucks.

Seems like paypal is really retarded
 
A lot of people complaining about PayPal lately, so which payment methods do you suggest to use and people can accept it easily?

For individuals, I think PayPal dominates in Europe and Stripe in the US. Stripe also accepts Boleto Bancario (for your BR players).
 
There must be a reason why you account got terminated. Mostly it happens if you get disputes/chargebacks from customers, paypal bans ur account on particular numbers of disputes you have. Second one it can be enough one dispute to get ur account banned if you scammed someone and their provided all proves of that act. Third one you created account when you were under 18. I had my business account banned long time ago because i created that shit when i was under 18 but after messaging them with common sense they deleted my old account and told me to create new account and they transfered old information to an new account and now using this account for years and everything been perfect so far. So call them and ask why you got banned when you know why you can start solving it.

PayPal removed the limitation and apologized about it.
