FileShoppe.netAs I said. There is no connection between the paypal account that was limited and FileShoppe. FileShoppe (we) does not own Carrot. We just use them since their service suits our needs. The paypal account limited has no connection to Carrot/FileShoppe. So though I do not doubt what you say here, I have no idea how the connection was made.
FShoppe Reviewed by FShoppe on . Paypal Permanently Limited Account for no reason Hello all, How many people here have had their Paypal accounts limited, seemingly for no reason. I recently had my Paypal account limited, supposedly for violating the AUP but I fail to see how. The business of which that Paypal account is setup for has been running for almost 10 years and is not in any way involved with illegal, or even questionable activity. (No it is not related to file hosting). The E-Mail received simply said the account was permanently limited and did not say Rating: 5

Well carrot HAS been terminated too, just saying, so you're going to need to look around for something different now. I'm just curious to know how Carrot's going to respond to this termination.
The only really logical way now is to NOT rely on third party payment processors. Getting your own merchant account with acquiring banks and clearly explaining your business to them is the way forward. They have actual departments that deal with a lot of E-Commerce, and unlike the monkeys at Paypal, they don't exercise judgement on the whims of an angry pervert with a vendetta.

Lt, it's all good and well to not rely on third parties for credit card processing, but the major gain and reasons most businesses use PayPal is not actually for that reason alone, rather that a huge amount of potential clients are already using PayPals internal p2p transfer system. That would make up a very very large portion of clients.

FileShoppe.netIs anyone else seeing errors on paypal now? I'm trying to withdraw money from the Business account of which I am not named. But I am getting all kinds of cookie based errors. Anyone else seeing this?
Update:
Having now spoken to Paypal, they have indeed limited the account due to file shareing. Interesting as the account is in NO WAY related to file sharing. In fact, none of the Paypal accounts I have access to are in any way related to file sharing WHAT SO EVER.
I have informed them of this fact and they will review the case.
With any luck, they will simply ask for information about my transactions and supporting evidence (which I can provide) and they will let me go about my business.
This is quite scary actually, as it seems, LifeTalk, that you are right.
What is also worrying is that if someone was engaging in illegal/immoral activity (which I do not!), even if they are not using Paypal in any shape or form with regards to said activity, that seems reason enough to prevent your lawful activity from continuing.
So the logic would be. If you suspect a man to be a thief, you contact his employer and tell them he has been stealing so they would be fired... Interesting.

Correct. Except, if your service is something people absolutely WANT access to, then they WILL use their credit cards to make the purchase in the absence of Paypal support.

FileShoppe.netThanks Long. It feels pretty good to be honest
As for having a credit card. Who doesn't? If not credit, debit? If you don't have a credit/debit card, chances are you're not really the kind of customers on-line merchants want.
The thing about credit card is that its troublesome. So much information to enter. And then there's the whole issue of security and fraud. Nightmare sometimes.

Prepaid cards are now more common than ever before
Correct, except I'm obviously going to stay far, far away from Carrot. I talked to them and they told me they could not pay me the amount owed to me because it was locked in their Paypal account. You'd think someone reputable would pay me the amount owed regardless of their situation since I'm not responsible for what happened to them. But I can either wait for 6 months (this is worse than Paypal - because in Paypal's terms I would have been locked for a reason, etc; here I'm paying the price for their misfortune) or elect to have all my clients refunded (which is frankly a much larger disaster).
I'll be sure to warn everyone to stay away from Carrot. For a company that prides itself on not being like Paypal, they're far worse in fact.
