    I personally now hate it. My account with $200 in KV selling money on it got locked today permanently so I can kiss my money good bye. I'm using Google Wallet now. What about you guys, any bad experiences with PayPal?

    Mate, that sucks :( Yeah, I've had 2 accounts with over 600$ from KV and my GFX Business. One got locked till I'm 18 because I was trying to buy an XBOX One on Gumtree, and the lady thought I was sketchy because I didn't want to drive an hour and a half to pick it up, so I put a deposit before that, and than she knew my PayPal. So she rang them and explained my age as she knew my age aswell from chatting on the phone etc about making a deal. So now, my account is locked until May 2016.

    My other account was for my KV Shop here on XPG, but for some reason, I had my KV Shop selling item's straight into the PayPal checkout under (KeyVault) Lets just say that was a bad idea as they knew what it ment :( So that ones locked aswell, but for life. So now I'm using these Load & Go card's which are around $6 per card to make a PayPal, everytime it's locked start over. But if I find a better site to make payments etc, I'll start to change over.

    But yeah, that's my experience.

    [EDIT[ I know I'm ment to be 18, but it's because my parent's wont pay for anything online, so yeah,. Wouldn't of been locked if those guys didn't find out or call PayPal.

    Same mate I'm looking into Google Wallet but I might just have to use PayPal but I hope I don't get locked on every account I make for no reason. Mine was locked due to me having a business paypal with my payments coming through automatically from my auto KV site, then me sending my money to my personal paypal. For some reason, paypal accused me of hacking someones paypal account (even though both the business and personal are in my name) and locked them both. Total of $252 lost and I will never recover it.

    I just change my last name on the Account, because when they lock your account(s) they just keep doing it :(

    iv been locked out of it for about 4 years from when i was trying to verify my bank account and when they sent the two small amounts of money to my bank where you get the codes to enter on the website there was only one of them on my bank statement so iv been locked out until i enter a code that does not exsist and i cant make a new account due to my bank account being used on the other paypal account and same gos if i try to make a one time payment from my card it. It sucks as everywhere seems to be paypal i cant do things such as buy gold on this website so yeah i cant stand paypal

    Never heard of PayPal locking someones account for ample amount of donations or any for that matter... so. PayPal is one of the most trusted websites for money exchanging I have ever used, hence why eBay uses it. PayPal doesn't support the use of Virtual Goods of any type, hence why it is extremely hard to sell CoC, and anything along those lines. I have personally used PayPal for years, and have never had one problem with them.

    @Rifter, I am going to assume they locked your account due to the fact you're selling key vaults, those are in no way legal on PayPal's site according to their support I just spoke with. They use a flag system for certain key words, i.e. child pornography. I am going to assume the word keyvault or key vault flagged something in their system, thus locking your account. You should still be able to get your money after their team investigates your account.

    No, I make sure all my sold KVs are listed as "License Key" hence the domain of my KV site. I had a business PayPal getting the funds from people buying KVs and I was then transferring the funds to my personal account. PayPal said that I had stolen the business account from somebody even though they both have my name on them, then they permanently limited both and banned me.
