Title: STICKY---> DO NOT LOAD PAYPAL WITH MONEYPAK CARDS
Post by: rise_against on February 19, 2012, 12:04 am
take my advice! i learned this the hard way. don't load your paypal with moneypak cards! You may be able to get away with it by redeeming one or two cards, but if you do too many they will freeze your paypal account and hold your money hostage.  even if you create multiple paypal accounts they will still be linked by cookies and/or IP address. find a different way to sell your bitcoins!

if you MUST have a paypal account, never leave money sitting in it.  Always withdrawal to your bank account as soon as possible, for if it is limited or locked such as mine, there is no telling if or when i will ever see a cent of my money.
It should be illegal for them to take a person's money hostage.  For this i hope Bitcoin is the end of Paypal.


just thought i'd share this knowledge before someone else gets the same idea.
