You serious?That guy closed more than 200 paypal account in mere week.How is that possible when paypal (i believe) has to check each account for what its used for?Or they just with a click they close accounts?
It literally takes the click of a button. I've talked to Paypal enough number of times on the phone over these last few years to know that. And I've spoken to them about this issue a fair few times now. They've given me a lot of bullshit which I know is not true. They've told me multiple times that every case is dealt with individually and that they are thorough in their investigations and what not.
However, even Paypal cannot complete an investigation only hours after a case is reported to them.. on a weekend! They're getting tired of all this, as is obvious. They want it to end because they won't risk their reputation getting tarnished. Now it's just a point and click. How else do you think the SFL guy 'just gets a whim' about who has been terminated and who has not? There's constant communication. OBVIOUSLY!

Hello LifeTalk,
I really do not think it is related. FileShoppe is not in any way related to the limited paypal account. There is virtually no connection, particularly with regards to payment. Even if Paypal were informed by this lunatic of FileShoppe's existence, I fail to see how they would connect the two together.
FileShoppe does not really fall into the category of a file locker. If it does, so does every other web host, and on-line service provide that offers any kind of online storage. When did CarrotPay's paypal get suspended?
This is absurd. FileShoppe is a system designed to let people sell their files online. Copyright material is clearly against our TOS/AUP and we have a very simple DMCA policy. Report, and we remove. SIMPLE! And we offer no incentive to 'share' files since we do not offer PPD or PPS programs.
Try explaining that to this guy who's got a child's vendetta against the industry he blames to have caused him his declining revenues. He's got it all wrong, but he's too stubborn to admit or understand.
Here's the connection, indirect if not direct:
FileShoppe was investigated by this guy. Like I've already told you above, his mind is like a machine. He sees the site, and if it even remotely resembles a filehost, a remote accessory to a filehost, or anything that has 'file' and 'uploading' in the same phrase, he investigates the payment methods.
He then reports those payment methods to Paypal/Payza/Moneybookers, assuming it's one of the 3. Or 2CO, etc. Basically, anyone who'll bend over to his demands on mere threats of 'reputation risk'. They terminate said merchant/filehost.
Fileshoppe accepts payments via Carrot. Who... wait for it... depend exclusively on Paypal. Paypal terminates Carrot. Paypal terminates your account assuming you're Carrot. If you're not carrot, then your account has been terminated for being connected to FShoppe in some way or another. Ask them for a reason. Send an email to their AUP department. Nothing else is going to work. A call might; depends on who you get connected to.
Carrot was terminated right away, instead of being asked to stop processing for FShoppe. Now that doesn't happen, usually. It hasn't happened with Paymentwall, 2CO, etc. Why do you think? They've got history/reputation. Carrot, on the other hand, clearly/obviously doesn't. Well not exactly history; more like tons of business. I suspect Carrot barely does a few thousands a month with Paypal. The others, on the other hand, do a lot LOT more. Sure Paypal wants to rid itself of the 'risk' (which is basically a bunch of lies fed to them and their untrained monkeys incapable of rendering logical decisions) but it won't do so on the expense of losing a lot of business.
