This is extremely frustrating. This is now the third time with a particular seller that I have had Paypal automatically limit my account and create a dispute with a seller.
Why does Paypal KEEP doing this every month when it's time to renew despite the fact that I have verified my **bleep** account 3 times alredy for 3 consecutive months?
This is for a monthly subscription service and im sure their billing department has had enough of me. I have no way of closing the dispute on my own.
I've been using Paypal for probably 8 years now without a single account problem and now 3 lockouts in 3 months? I used to think that *site removed by mod* was a site full of whiners but it clearly looks like it has some merit.

I feel your pain. Paypal can be a pain sometimes a lot of times.
Why are sellers starting disputes with you? Clearly, that is the reason why Paypal limits your account. If you have bad feedbacks, or lots of disputes, it happens.

The problem isn't the seller - they aren't filing the dispute. The problem is Paypals automated system, which is the worst I have ever seen routinely flags the account for investigation. This triggers an automatic dispute with the seller which cannot be closed by me.
I have used this seller for a year without problems but the past 3 months I have an automatic lockout every time. I have an extensive history with Paypal and all my transactions to date have been positive.
The subscription service ahs suspended my account because this happens every time and locks their account as well. Thankfully , they allow Alertpay as well. I'll just use trialpay next time because they arent run by morons.
