What happened with it? Also, why would they lock you out for an arbitrary time period like that?

According to paypal terms of use - they have a right to freze every account that they LITERRALLY DONT LIKE
I mean its understandable, people do money laundering as crazy there, and my transactions list started to look suspicious beacuse of mini donations i recieved from recent artpack
So, uhhhh, its kinda my fault, i should be more carefull next time.

That's a terrible business model, with no way to appeal it, but when you're one of the only businesses in town that does that, there's no competition to keep them going for customer support. That's really asinine and I hope the other services work out for you.

This ^^^

Yup. Its not just you, either. Paypal is horrid. Famous for freezing accounts that have large transactions take place. They are not a bank, but all the money you process through them goes through Their bank. This is why your transactions are not instant and take a few days, or when they freeze a transaction, they get interest on that money for the time its being held in their bank. Which equates to BILLIONS of dollars of profit. I had to sell a car and some audio equipment via e-bay to make a mortgage before foreclosure procedures began. A decent sum of money was then transferred via paypal. They froze my account for 4 months. For no reason what so ever other than I had suddenly used my paypal account for a large transaction. No recourse, what so ever. They basically told me to fuck off and they would unfreeze the account when they saw fit. After the bank started to foreclose, paypal allowed me to withdraw my funds. Too late to save my ranch though.
Fuck paypal. Seriously. They suck.

In Russia, that we are from with Sky, that situations with ordinary banks are soooo usual, that we are already knew, that we cannot do ANYTHING with that.

Damn never herd paypal doing that before

Relax, its Russia
*Picture of Putin with a cup of tea*

This explained everything to me. I'm sorry this shit's going on :\

To be honest, my paypal was locked as well, and I don't even know why. They required everything from my Social Security Number, to a picture ID of me, and they wanted all of this in PHYSICAL FORM, and they wanted ME to pay for it.

I just laughed at them on the phone, hung up, and forgot about it for like 3 months.
Then I call them back when I am paying for a piece of art, saying I need my account unfrozen.
They said my account wasn't frozen, nor was there any evidence of it.
I explained the situation 3 months prior to him, and he started sounded very nervous, asking me tons of questions about it etc.
Paypal seems to think my account might've been hacked and someone tried to scam more sensitive personal info out of me, which failed, and thus they released the account knowing they'd never get anything out of it. They spent the next few months asking for info from me but my account was unlocked and it still works to this day.

Maybe you should wait for a few months then try and contact them again, see if it is the same, cause my problem apparently fixed itself without my knowledge o.O

Even if it gonna fix itself, I can't rely on this company anymore. I texted support 4 times, I didn't get the answer even 1 month later, I didn't get it even on the phone! I only got some sort of instructions, but I don't even know what happened. They stated that I need to rise my account limit by sending my passport copy and wait FOR ONE MONTH
By the way, I haven't got even close to overlimit

So if I were to commission you in the future, how would I go about it exactly?

It should be same paypal -mail payment method for you
2checkout accepts paypal payments

Oh alright, so commissioners are still able to pay through Paypal, you just can't use Paypal to store your added funds?

Yup

Oh okay, at least it's not SUPER crippling for you then.
Good to hear it's not the end of the world for you!

Ah I see well I hope everything goes smoothly an back too normal

I've heard of it happening to a surprising amount of artists. Even mentioning Furaffinity in the details of a payment can get your account frozen because they don't like porn being sold through their service, and as such, assume that anything mentioning furaffinity, even clean art, can get your account frozen.

Well that's dumb over 90% of porn has paypal

Фигасе... За что они?

За то что нету паспорта гражданина РФ :D

Я уже прочитал комент с объяснениями :D

Ah yes, PayPal thinking they're the money police...
Sorry that happened.

Maybe consider using Cash.me, there's a site and phone app of it and it's pretty simple from what I've heard, people can pay you directly from their cards and everything.

Thanks, i'll consider that option

Oh jeez, sorry to hear man.

PayPal is awful at times, goddamn!

PayPal are notorious for freezing accounts for dumb reasons.

Hope things work out for you!
