Do you work for merchantinc.com? They seem to own and operate paypalsucks.org and have a history of advertising themselves with forum spam similar to your comment.

You seem overly active on this thread. What is your affiliation?

I do payment processing for my SaaS products. Have used PP in the past, currently I only use stripe and bitcoin to receive payments.

Nope, but I spent 2 years trying to make Paypal explain why they disabled my account, but even they didn't know.

This was about 15 years ago, and back then this was the first Google result when you searched for "Paypal complaint".

The same happened to me. 10 years ago my personal account was frozen. They requested additional verification. Getting any information on why my account was suddenly frozen lead to nothing. Paypal was not able or willing to explain to me what caused this issue.

This was the moment I decided I did want to do any further business with them.

I know, but 10~15 years ago there wasn't really any alternative. So I just created a different account.

The funny thing is, Paypal just unfroze my old account after like 4 years...also for no reason!?
