Paypal , soon as I get any money, BANG Limited. Ring my rank , get my BSB add the card , wait 5 days for them to put the money into my account. Then do it. Then says I need to add a credit card. I don't own one.. so now about 400 USD it stuck in my paypal account.

this is after waiting 6 weeks for emails from them..

I wish there was another service that was widely used.

Sometime paypal really acts idiotically in name of maintaining security

So I've never observed it.

Did you find out what the reason was for them placing limitations on your account?

If you don't have a credit card, you can always just put in a debit card.

Oiy - looks like you're in a crappy place. Paypal wants to verify EVERYTHING. You may just as well send in a stool sample (that thought probably occurred to you.) If you want to take full advantage of Ebay you're kind of stuck in the Paypal world. I personally haven't had any problems buying or selling, but from what I hear that's mostly due to luck.

I use Paypal everyday and its superb, never really have a proble with paypal itself apart from the odd time when peaple have tryd to scam me for hosting using other peaples credit cards to buy my service ect.. Then paypal get on my case and i have to kindly explain that there being stupid and need to calm down abit and stop jumping to conclusions. The thing is with paypal my freind.. Its hard to get it running smoothly if you dont own a credit card.

So is there any other payment service which doesn't require a credit card.
