Got a call from paypal, have collected funds for a wide range of things and they verified some withdrawls I had made to my bank. I said yes, that was me. They asked what I was selling and I mentioned all kinds of things, baseball cards, and I said old vitamins because i used to work at a GNC. THEN THE GUY SAYS "SOME SAY ANABOLICS".... I SAY "Well I dont know anything about that"

I emailed their AUP@paypal.com to find out what it is that they believe i was selling illegally, said that I have not and do not intend to sell anything illegal and

"I would like to know if a customer of mine may have put down
"drugs" or "viagra" or something pharmeceutical of that nature as
what was being purchased when in fact it might have been something
else.

I was told you could have access to that sort of information and
could help me clear my account from such false charges. Please
respond and let me know what it is, which sale(s) and to who these
claims are from and what they claimed was purchased."

ended the email, told them to get back to me and we'll see.

I have now gone through their process of 1) eliminating all items that do not agree with their policy from my website (never had a website anyway) and 2) agreed to their online affidavit (not with a signature, just by typing 'I agree' as they require and my account is back in good standing.

Karch,,,, you get my PM, could use your help on this one buddy!

update.... found a transaction through going through my history where one person put 1-AD as the subject... fucking moron. That may have caused all this shit

Got damn! Sometimes one person on the other end of a transaction can be so damn stupid. But thanks for posting this. This just helps many of us inform people on the other end of transaction in what to and what not to list as what you purchasing or sending funds for. Really informative.
