Regardless of weather the `THN` name is confusing or not and regardless of the speculations, does paypal need to give a reason for termination? Are they legally obligated? Is it something they should do for the sake of customers?

Should one get mad at `THN` because there name overlaps HN and they supposedly are `real hack` or should we be mad at paypal because it's overreaching it's powers?

I honestly don't have a problem with PayPal dropping a customer. Even though I hate PayPal, if they don't want to do business with somebody they shouldn't have to. But holding their money for 180 days, that is suspiciously like theft

When PayPal bans a site it's always for breaking their TOS. Sometimes the specific parts of that TOS are bullshit, but most of the time it turns out that it was a pretty flagrant violation of those terms.

I don't feel sorry for anyone who still uses PayPal to collect money for a use that has been specifically banned in their TOS, and anything that even starts to encroach on illegal matters falls into that. Information about how to break into computer systems (hacking) definitely falls into that and they should have known they were on shaky ground.

That is quite simply wrong. I have been on the receiving end of this problem, and there is zero transparency about the reasons behind banning, zero warning or recourse, and of course the good old 180 day locking of funds which can kill any e-commerce platform that runs on anything other than absurdly high margins.

The company in question moved to Stripe where it operates to this day.

PayPal is just a very large, shady as fuck company. Im hoping cryptocurrency matures to a point where they are not needed.

The name isn’t the issue. It’s the plagiarism. Every article is plagiarized.

They are legally obligated to NOT give a reason for anything that relates to money laundering, fraud and customer verification.
