I am a newbie to online commerce and using Paypal to take payments in an online store. I have been working to set up a Woocommerce store, and initially chose Automattic's Woopayments service as the payment processor. Before I could even finish getting the store online, I received word from Automattic that my Woopayments account (and the associated Stripe account) had been suspended. I asked for an explanation of the reasons for the suspension, and got none – their support team simply closed the ticket without further comment.
So, understandably, I am a bit anxious about trying another payment processor. I would like some advice that might help me avoid a similar issue with Paypal.
My question is therefore a simple one: What are the most common reasons that would lead Paypal to suspend a business account?
If I am aware of the usual pitfalls, I can do my best to avoid triggering a suspension. (Yes, I will be studying the Paypal Terms of Service – but it will be of great use to know what the Paypal user community has seen to be common reasons for suspension.)
Thanks in advance for your help.
