Online business using Paypal??

[UKBusinessLive]

Hi Guys

Wow have i had some problems with Paypal

I'll tell you a bit about what i do without promoting myself too much

I make componants for car Transporters, you know the big ones that get towed by lorries. My company has never had an online store before, so i decide nows the time, i finally got online on the 5th June.

now customers can order and pay online using paypal

Thats where the problems begin

the first week i get mt new paypal account (a Business Account) limited as i've had a LOT OF MONEY recently paid in.

I contacted paypal and they told me i've had ?1,700 paid into my account, but my estimated weekly turnover was ?2,000.

I had to get my account Verified, so that took best part of a week

Then finally i get my account back, but before t can transfer the balance to my business bank bank account, they limit it again

Now they are asking for Proof of delivery, even though i have an account with a couier company and have my account limited for the past 8 days with over ?2,580 in it

Now at an extra expense (?50) i've had to set up a nochex merchant account and delete all traces of paypal from my site.

I've just got off the Phone to them, No one gives you a satisfactory answer, and i still need to wait for my account to get back to normal, I told the lady i wanted to close my account and have all the funds sent to my business Bank account.

These guys are a bunch of crooks, anyone else having problems with paypal?? They seem to be a law unto themselves, making up the rules as they go along, I'm definately not happy with them at all. I've taken Paypal off my site completely now. What a nightmare, i really expected a bit of a more professional service from Paypal, all i get is poop

Anyone have any Paypal Horror stories they'd like to share?

might cheer me up if i know i'm not the only one

p.s. Anyone have a UK address for these Crooks, I'm going to send them an invoice.
