PayPal is no GayPal: another PayPal horror story
One of my side projects is a small gay discussion group online. It sells certain services (not pornographic in nature, it is the digital equivalent of a support group) and I had to use PayPal for payments for certain business reasons, unfortunately.
Today my entire PayPal account was frozen, 700 dollars was stolen from me, and I can't seem to get anybody at PayPal to deal with me rationally and overturn this decision.
I believe that some automated filter at PayPal saw the phrase "gay phone sex" on the site, but missed out the total description around that text that made it perfectly clear that it was NOT any kind of gay phone sex or any kind of pornographic service.
I'm not a rich man and I depend on this money to pay rent and I'm in a real jam here. If anybody at HN has any connections at PayPal and can help me out, I would really appreciate it.
Please email me at wd1993 AT gmail if you can please help me out. Thanks.
