I've been preaching this since forever.

Don't rely on PayPal. They're less professional than a kid selling juice next to the road.

There are no grace periods with PayPal to give you time to move to another service.

There is never more than a generic reason and stonewalling when they terminate you.

And yes, their decision is always final.

They'll happily terminate your only source of income on a friday afternoon, freeze your funds, then laugh at you as you scramble to get an alternative up and running.

Don't build on PayPal. It's no foundation at all.

It's very hard to evaluate what's actually going on here. This "post" could perfectly fit in a tweet. No details whatsoever, no details about wether they tried to reach to paypal support and if they got any replies. I'm surprised this isn't flagged.

Did we read the same article? Because the on I read said:

> After calling their support twice, explaining the situation and asking for a reason, we have received nothing but “the decision is final, and we will not provide more information”.

You'd hope at this stage, based on various PayPal horror stories, businesses would not need this warning.

> Do not kid yourself – your business is never, never

> safe with PayPal. Move away or at least have a plan B

> in place so that you don’t lose your business over

> their arbitrary actions.

They all read like riff on The Trial: you've been banned, we're not going to tell you why, this is going to cost you money.
