Re: [tor-relays] I was banned from PayPal



Oh.

 

That seems to be something new…

Does something with “TOR Server” show up in the bill or receipt? Perhaps this could be a reason.

 

I have three VPS running at Keyweb, Exone and VPSMalaysia – and they are all payed with paypal.

 

 

Best regards,

volker 😊

Betreff: [tor-relays] I was banned from PayPal

 

Today I received a message from PayPal that paying for Tor relay server leases was a direct violation of my usage agreement.  I have been paying off-shore VPS hosts for my Tor server leases with PayPal for at least ten years.  Very interesting that they act now.

 

They specifically state the ban was for: 

Providing file sharing services or access to newsgroups; or selling alcoholic beverages, non-cigarette tobacco products, e-cigarettes or prescription drugs/devices.

They further state that the ban is permanent and not reversible.

 

I liked using PayPal because it was a safe way to pay and didn't expose my credit card information.  Before PayPal I used a prepaid card which I will probably go back too.
