After that I set up a new account in France, kept a low profile and didn't promote it for porn related payments but had more than 2500 euros coming in in one year after selling a camera, and they locked the account and didn't accept my documents because first name wasn't exactly matching with first name on passport, then they locked it permanently and wanted me to wait 6 months for the money. I then refunded the payment for the camera back to the customer who then transfered payment to me by bank. There's 16 euro left on that account and I'll be curious what happens after that 6 month period. In the meantime I set-up a new PayPal account which I can't connect to my bank account, it only works with my credit card directly, so I can't put any balance on it, and I'm not sad about that at all....

PayPal is just one of those things we need because everybody uses it, but just do not trust them and don't keep any balance with them and don't use it for receiving large amounts, because they are dumb unreliable scum. I think most of the problems they cause really is the result of them being retarded and not having a clue what they are doing.
