PayPal account closed.

[Azurik]

I am alittle bit miffed right now. I used my PayPal account to collect donations for Hurrican Rita. My fault for not reading their TOS more carefully, but I went against one of their rules and now the account is limited... read: closed.

It would not be a big deal considering my business is tied to that account too ("you're so stupid, Azurik!"), I know.

I need to open a new one. Obviously, I am using a different e-mail address - and will need to make a new bank account #, along with a new address (using my PO BOX), and new phone #.

Any other advice for this idiot?

I can only ROFL.

Read the TOS this time, and don't do it again?

Paypalsucks.org proves true once again

Call and email Paypal :thumbsup:

I meant hints on successfully opening a new account

I realize how much of an idiot I am, thank you all

 

[imported_Ed]

yep, use a different address, email address and phone number or it will be limited again and again and again

Ok, and can I tie this to my eBay account? PayPal is owned by eBay so I'm not sure if they cross reference since my eBay account has original information on it.

[Azurik]

Probably some rule about receiving charitable donations without proper arrangements.

It really is in the best interest of everyone to make sure that people doing "charity" collections actually deal with the money appropriately.

Otherwise Rita could be the name of my new boat.
