Oh.
That seems to be something new…
Does something with “TOR Server” show up in the bill or receipt? Perhaps this could be a reason.
I have three VPS running at Keyweb, Exone and VPSMalaysia – and they are all payed with paypal.
Best regards,
volker 😊

Today I received a message from PayPal that paying for Tor relay server leases was a direct violation of my usage agreement. I have been paying off-shore VPS hosts for my Tor server leases with PayPal for at least ten years. Very interesting that they act now.
They specifically state the ban was for:
Providing file sharing services or access to newsgroups; or selling alcoholic beverages, non-cigarette tobacco products, e-cigarettes or prescription drugs/devices.
They further state that the ban is permanent and not reversible.
I liked using PayPal because it was a safe way to pay and didn't expose my credit card information. Before PayPal I used a prepaid card which I will probably go back too.
