Amigabounty.net not able to accept donations [SOLVED]

@Radov

Yea. Symbolic tokens of support. And able to change the quantity of them that you buy.

Hopefully you will eventually get someone on the phone who knows what he/she is doing. Like others have said, asking to talk to someone higher up also helps.

The first time that I used PayPal was to buy my A1. I sent the payment, and then the next day PayPal reversed the payment because their algorithms thought that it might be fraud. Initially they were rather slow to respond, but then I threatened to close my account, and never use their service again. After that they relatively quickly resolved the issue, and I haven't had a problem with them since.

Incidentally, you're not the only one with this problem. One of the other affected groups is using WePay, which I had never even heard of.

I'd personally prefer to stick with PayPal because it allows me to donate/pay without entering my Credit Card number and provides me with more control (e.g., a company can automatically charge my Credit Card without my explicit approval, but with PayPal I have to approve the request before it goes through), but if they take too long, then it's worth looking at other options. PayPal might hurry up if you tell them that you are going to shut down your account and go to one of their competitors.

Perhaps set up a secondary account while paypal pretend to ponder on this problem.

@Troels
If problem still is not solved, then maybe we can help you to solve that .. What exactly is problem for now ? They say "wait for something" or what ? Maybe better will be transfer all the money for now from that locking on recv. account to bank account (just to be sure, that money will be safe), and setup another paypal account and forget about that one ?

I think there's light at the end of the tunnel now. Got in touch with Paypal via phone again and they actually looked at the documents I had provided them with and found that they had everything they needed. So case is sent to limitation team with a message of fast handling etc.

Reason I didn't want to set up another account with Paypal was that I didn't want it to be freezed suddenly because they could accuse me of circumventing their rules or something.

Just to make everything clear, ALL money sits safe in the Amigabounty association bank account in my local bank (Not Amagerbanken) and I hope to get paypal problems sorted this week.

@Troels

Sounds good, let's hope for the best!

@Marko

Seems it was the right person I had on the phone today - Our account is restored and fully operational.

Amigabounty.net back in business

@Troels
Very good ! Time to open new bounties then. Afkul with debugger for example :)

@Troels

Nice that this has got a good ending.
Let's just open the wallets.

@Troels

Awesome! Too bad things like this take so long...

@Troels

Excellent, just donated a few Euros.
