Well some of you might think this is my own fault but i used an virtual credit/debit card on Paypal. This usually works fine but sometimes the card gets declined when paying.
So i just added another virtual card and it usually works after 1 or 2 tries. But, it seems after you do this 15 times total. They just limit the account not allowing you to withdraw any money, pay for purchases, etc.
And this with no warning?
OK i understand this is to prevent card scammers but surely a card scammer wouldn't do scam with 15 cards all issued to the same person, Namely me. I've also done the whole verification process where they take (approximately 1$, for each purchase) some money from your account for 2 days, and you type in a code. Probably just to hog interest (take 1$ * the millions who use paypal everday)
I am severly ****ed of at Paypal and the whole damn bubble of modern day economy/banking. Screwing with the small people to make big bucks!!!

Unfortunately, PayPal is the best way to buy from private individuals because there's some protection in case of trouble. I've noticed that I can't use Visa gift cards on pretty much any online site so they aren't of much use to me. I know yours are virtual cards, but they are probably handled about the same.
