| It shouldn't. Look into the vast majority of these complaints and you'll feel reassured. eg this -- they're trying to, per their site, get lots of credentials from Stripe's other customers. It's pretty obvious why Stripe is saying no, and extremely reasonable to limit things like that to established companies. Quoting myself from 2 months ago: The last time I paid attention to one of these complaints, someone was using stripe to sell cellphone accessories (and yes, at least on my Stripe application, they asked what I was selling.) After selling accessories for a while, he then used it to sell a minivan, and had a tantrum when Stripe -- quite reasonably -- said this flags all the flags, and Stripe was going to hold onto the money until they were sure things were kosher. Getting dollars before multiple months post transaction basically leaves someone holding a bag of risk, and if you act shady AF, you can't be surprised if Stripe declines to hold that bag of risk for you. |
