Hello everyone,Today I come to talk to you all about an interesting happenstance. For some reason or another, my Paypal account was permanently limited (IE Banned) for selling a set of proxies, due to a copyright violation. The buyer knew they were proxies, but Paypal still decided to slap the ban hammer on my account. So the question is: What other means of online money transfer would I be able to use in its stead? This really does show how much of a monopoly Paypal has on the market, and lets have an intelligent debate, and hopefully find a solution for me and anyone else who is in a similar circumstance as myself.
Sincerely, Ben

So were you selling fake cards? Because that is illegal, and no payment processor is going to allow that.__________________ Don't send first, pay first, or simul-send to Canadian low-ref newer members.

It was a handmade proxy, I thought that was covered under fair use.

This what you get for trying to be upfront with the reasons behind your banning. Actually, I am a little shocked that PayPal is still the gold standard after all of these years. I hear so many complaints about it, but few suggestions on a viable alternative. __________________ Wisconsin - smells like dairy air!I collect Granite Gargoyles. Send them my way.

If you are going to do illegal things, I'd recommend just using Bitcoin.

Didn't bitcoin loose most value due to a hack? I heard someone selling drugs and using bitcoin to pay for an assassination hacked it. Then again the source is a dbag I work with. Edit: I did just read that the Target hackers were selling the money gained for bitcoin and were caught in Fla. They intended to buy more stolen cards. Seems like this might not be the only money laundering scandal. And that $116 million of "lost" bitcoin just was found...

popmoney is pretty sweet. Most banks already use it as an option.
