Paypal!

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Paypal!

So I set up a Paypal account with which to take software sales for Tank Universal. I also have a Share-It account, but people had been requesting Paypal as well, so I figure it's all good.

Yesterday, I get an email from Paypal saying that a transaction (sale) has been flagged as unusual/suspicious and they've blocked my account.
So, someone else has possibly been naughty and Paypal's reaction is to block me and cause me to lose sales. Great.

To resolve this, I've had to send them copies of my credit card account, utility bill + photo ID.

I think I can understand Paypal's reasoning, but it's a little stiff? Someone else may have been naughty, and I get shut down and have to send my life's story to Paypal!

And what if they don't accept my details? Do they 'confiscate' my sales revenue?
