About 3 or 4 years ago PayPal added the option to buy cryptocurrency, which I thought I’d try. (Dumb idea 🙄)

Part of the sign up process was glitched. I retried and clicked submit one too many times, I guess. Now I’ve been unable to use PayPal for years. They blocked me because THEIR SITE was broken, but the web page essentially accuses me of being a criminal and asks for my bank records. No way in hell.

This was just for me to pay others. I can only imagine how awful PayPal is if you are a vendor.

Fuck PayPal.

Me too, for receiving a $5 refund from Digital Ocean.

Did you try giving them the data they want? They ask for bank records to see if the account belongs to you, you can black most stuff. From my knowledge they take this info at sign up nowadays.

If not maybe write a support ticket, their support is usually very friendly and helpful regarding such things.

I haven’t. Maybe someday I’ll be willing to, but not today. It’s a hassle and extremely intrusive to provide my bank statement and photo ID to a company whose security I don’t trust.

I got banned from the Kraken crypto exchange after waiting a year for them to approve me and after providing all my IRL credentials.

Told me I was banned, never to come back, and that they were going to report my fraud attempt to the authorities. Of course they refused to tell me what they thought I did, which didn't make any sense because all I had been able to do was make an account and make a verification request.

Never really even looked at crypto again beyond mining dogecoin for fun.

Paying anything bought through PayPal credit. Wow.

When Paypal was inflicting financial penalties for, "misinformation" according to them, that's when I closed my account. Never again utilizing Paypal.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

I got locked out of paypal for no reason I could discern from like 2007 to 2015. Can’t remember the exact dates but for years it was “I can’t use paypal any more because my account broke” and then finally after years if that one day it was “oh shit it work look at that”.
