still waiting for Claire.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
As you guys correctly predicted when the payments person logged in yesterday night to PP they were met with this message...
----------------------------------------------------------------
We recently reviewed your account, and we need more information about your business to allow us to provide uninterrupted service. Until we can collect this information, your access to sensitive account features will be limited. We would like to restore your access as soon as possible. We apologise for the inconvenience.
Why is my account access limited?
Your account access has been limited for the following reason(s):
25 Jun 2012: For reasons relating to the safe use of the PayPal service we need some more information about some recent activity on your account.
While we investigate this matter, access to your account is limited.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
They have been on the phone to PP many times today since they open trying to resolve this issue. Senior PPl rep has said the hold is temporary, they will continue to process payments but will not release any funds until they have a lot more documentation that they are in the process of giving them. They will not give a time scale only to say within 3-10 days. The recent activity which they refer to is actually according to them rapid growth and fraud that some people did against us.
There is nothing further that can be done , they have exhausted all avenues of discussion with them trying to allow any funds released.
Since we comply fully with Dmca and delete any reported files within 24hours and since we stick strictly by our tos we hope soon to get the paypal account reactivated.
That's the bad news, and we understand fully that many of you will need to take measures that are best for you at this time.
However, there is actually some good news that i hinted at yesterday but today have been allowed to share. The directors have reached final agreement with a very large and well established billing processor, they have after a long and thorough investigative period decided they are happy to accept us and have supplied us with the final completion documentation today.
So meantime, paypal is processing and will have all the documents they require today, new processing to be implemented in the very near term. So hopefully both will be back and running at full power as soon as possible.
Meantime it will be each individuals choice as to what decide to do now. As soon as funds are released to us of course as usual we will pass those on to the affilates whom they rightfully belong too. Of course we understand whilst this is happening many will choose to start with other hosts, that decision is your own. However, we hope you will check back here in a few days for updates and once you see that things are back to normal and we have paid out all the funds and have a new processor in place along side PP, perhaps then you will feel secure enough again to work with us.
Please feel free to ask questions, but i answer some here now to save time.
1. - when will i get paid
as soon as paypal release the funds. (they say within 3-10working days)
2 - Can i get webmoney payments now.
No, because all funds come through paypal, they are locked down and we cant get them out to send through webmoney until they are released. PP even held the outgoing wire to our bank from start of the weekend, perhaps its because sometimes they don't send till monday.
3 - When is the new processor to be live.
We have the final documents of approval, we hope under 10 days to 2 weeks to full intergration.
4 - Why did you not apply for these alternative billing options before now. Did you not see this possibility coming?
They have been applying for new processing from the very start, moneybookers, ap, paymentwall, etc etc etc over 20 companies. All have never completed with us, these companies are not accepting new hosts or have even started kicking old hosts off. Also many of these small processing companies have many negative reviews and are not trustworthy and want to hold money back for weeks before releasing it.
We fully understand your frustration at this position, however we are working flat out to get this fixed and new secure billing in place. If we could speed it up faster we would but as of now they have processes to follow and it's impossible for us to expedite these.
We are so sorry for this news, a lot of you work hard and we
hate to see this happen when you trusted in us. We will do all we can 100% to fix this situation as soon as we can. Please ask any other questions you like, but please although you are upset at this news do not get annoyed and vent anger because all though we undestand how you feel, it will not help at all. We have done everything possible to persuade PP to restore service today, whatever we say has no effect. They answer the same thing 3-10 working days.
