[jiro]

I just found out that my PayPal account got suspended.

this is the letter I got from PayPal.

has this happended to any of you guys??????

if so....what do i need to do?

 

[seank]

Thats super creepy. Wow I'd like to hear some other people chime in on this. Did you put replica in you PayPal description?

Write to paypal and tell them that you bought a watch winder...

of course, you did not put anything in paypal about replica watch, of course...

and, before you do that, write to josh or andrew and ask their take on this..

good of lucky!

unless they tagged josh's account, i cant see any other way unless goods were mentioned to be reps.

 

[jiro]

i never have mentioned anything about replica......no way.....

this is really......freaking me out.....

i do remember andrew telling me that he recently changed his paypal address.......i don't know if that's got something to do with this.....

man.........this really blows....

 

[Niko]

Wow! That is a real concern.

I would write to paypal and ask exactly what item or payment was tagged as being related to a replica etc.

If it was a payment to Josh or Andrew, then I would follow Klink's suggestion and tell that you brought a watchwinder.

 

[coop]

I just bought a watch from josh a couple weeks back, i hope my paypal account doesnt get screwed up. Wow. Very strange.

Hello,

I also bot from josh last week, no problems yet. Spoke to him yesterday mentioned something about his paypal hyperlink or something not working. Can't get to email from work but I can repost when I get home to tell exactly what he said.

 

[willster]

:shock: seems to me that the only way Paypal or anyone would even suspect that we are buying anything pirated is if Joshua or Andrews PayPal accounts have been targeted specifically by PayPal.....
maybe turned in by a disgruntled buyer......but even if that is the case....wouldnt PayPal also send the boys a similar email or notice?

I have purchased a number of watches from both delaers and havent had any issues....also about to buy a number from both this weekend....Hmmmm

I would check with PayPal directly on this and dispute claim......over the years I have recieved a number of scam phishing emails from people claiming to be PayPal stating my account has been frozen...cancelled etc....I contacted them directly and sent them the emails only to be confirmed that these were scams ....PayPal also noted that they would not just cancel or freeze an account without an investigation

maybe this is a scam

good luck

Paypal, ebay, skype.. all those monopoly bastards...

...that what I was thinking. Did you write anything at all in the item description other than the dealers instructions? Hope it works out and keep all informed. Also make sure it came from directly from paypal and not some phoney spam paypal, I get those all the time, and unless the paypal e-mail addresses you by your first name...then it is NOT from paypal...good luck

 

[Klink]

hmmmm

thinking that the paypal account you sent bucks to may have been popped (dispute filed)

and paypal automatically figures you buying replica...

still thinking best cousrse is to see what seller has to say, or advise...

everybody loves paypal.. so convenient...

paypal sucks imo.. because

just because.. everybody have agenda.. here is funny one..

Good Luck!

[cybee]

...that's funny Klink. Yes paypal is the easiest and most popular way to send money...but which method other than paypal is the best way to send money? WU perhaps....maybe I need a back-up paypal account bu then if the dealer has been tagged...hmmm then what :?

Here is PayPal's 'Acceptable Use Policy' from their web site:

Counterfeit Items Policy
You may not use PayPal to sell counterfeits, unauthorized replicas, or otherwise unauthorized items (such as counterfeit watches, handbags, or other accessories).

Guideline
You may not use PayPal to sell a product that bears the name or logo of a company but wasn't made or endorsed by that company.

Examples
The following are examples of items that may not be sold using PayPal:

* A purse that has the Chanel® name on it but was not made by Chanel

* Sunglasses bearing the Oakley® name in a style never made by Oakley

* A fake autograph claiming to be real

* Replacement parts for an Epson® printer which use Epson's part numbers and names, but were not made by Epson

Warning
You may not use PayPal to sell replica, counterfeit, or otherwise unauthorized items. Violations of PayPal's Replica and Counterfeit Item policy could result in the suspension of your account.

It is clearly a violation to buy or sell replica watches. Whether or not it was Josh's account that's been flagged is hard to tell. Does Josh accept credit cards directly?

I could not find where their policy states that you may not buy replica watches, however, so you may be able to get your account restored.

I'm leaning toward phishing scam...
can you log into your paypal account? (do it from a new browser window and input the URL by hand to avoid phishing)

If its actually shut down from paypal... I'd contact and ask them to specifically tell you what they feel was done to counter their user policy... I wouldn't volunteer any information to them about purchasing a watch winder or anything unless they specifically tell you that your purchase from Andrew or Josh is what got you shut down... at that point a watch winder may be the way to go... till you know exactly what they accuse you of doing, don't volunteer anything.

I keep seeing the words "sell" and "sold"... I'm not seeing the word "buy" anywhere in there... hrmmm... :shock:

I have gotten many of these emails from ebay and paypal and they are all scams. May just be a scammer trying to get you to log into your account via their link and steal your info.

That happened to me a few years ago (along with about 10,000 other people). They tried to get $6500.00 but only ended up cashing an eCheck in Israel for $55. But it screwed things up for a while.

Did you log on thru their link or go directly to PayPal's site? If you went thru them - start checking all the linked accounts and call the credit companies, even if you think they may have info.

Mine was all caught, fortunately, but shifty people scam in the name of eBay almost as much as eBay does.

I had this happen to me once and it was addressed to Dear Paypal Member, with the same information as you listed. They wanted me to send them my informatoin again to verify it was actually me. Well, I notified Paypal and they responded by telling me unless it's addressed directly with my name on the greeting it's probably a "Phishing" expedition. So, for what it's worth proceed with caution....

no issues here....
