pay pal questionable

I ve read some seriou criticism of pay pal freezing peoples accounts. Has any one here had problems with pay pal doing so.

Yes some of my friends got limited access ie disabled  with  no access to their own money. Pay pal essentially assumes everyone is a crook and upon a first "deposit" into your pay pall account being frozen is very likely.

Getting access for some has been a constant and enduring headache. One has contacted state's attorney general but that probably  is a multi year solution.

I have no direct experience with them but i researched this from google and i found tons of discontent out there with pay pal. They do seem to go overboard on the issue of not trusting their own clients. Guess i ll find out if i ever hit a win here. 

Major news item today march 14 pay pal freezes accounts of anyone it SUSPECTS of gambling on ncaab tourney. Suspicion is a dangerous thing when left uncontrolled.

Pay pal is unfriendly when you receive money into your account from anywhere other than your own bank account. I ve done that with no problems but upon recieving money via a route other than my bank account,  i was confronted  by them with many questions forcing me to go thru a resolution process. After quite a long time it was straightened out by them. I did nothing wrong  it was suspicion on the part of pay pal. ( see deacons basic comment )  

wall street journal March 7.  2012:  pay pal threatens to limit accounts of book publishers and sellers if pay pal disapproves of the books being published or sold.

Pay pal backed down after a uproar from the publishers and first amendment defenders. See wall street journal March 13. Pay Pal seems to think they can control commerce allowing only the commerce they approve of.

it only works if the bank account name exactly matches the pay pal registration. Prior to a few months ago i believe a match was not required.

I've had plenty of problems with them and closed my acct. years ago.Used to sell on e-bay and they were notorious for freezing accts. or not helping you get paid by people who won your auctions..

Most recently came in 2'nd in the Spring Baseball Contest and couldn't collect the prize..Only $500 but never did collect it and surely never will..Thats why I left this site again and don't bother with contests here anymore or stopping in for that matter..Just heard about this thread and figured I'd stop in to let people know of my experience with them..Good luck collecting to any contest winners..Never a problem when it was WL and I won the College Football Contest with username jjnow..Just thought I had to make another acct. when I came back so thats why the different username..Doesn't matter though as I'm done at this site..
