Stoner Buck$$: 1,453.00  | Warning about Paypal
**Protect yourself and your money
Due to recent actions and discrimination by Paypal and it's subsidiaries, the THC Media Network has cut all ties with Any Paypal or EBay owned business.
For those that are not aware, PayPal is a privately owned company that is not affiliated with any government or banking establishment. There is NO insurance for your money kept with Paypal. Paypal can take and keep your money "Legally" with no available recourse. Paypal, at their discretion, can lock your account and deny access to your money.
With the current condition of the world banking market and the number of financial institutions going under, it is not a wise choice to leave your hard earned money unprotected in an uninsured account that you will not be able to recover.
Please be smart and protect yourself.

a valid concern...you never know
i was cut off before because of certain advertisers selling 'paraphernalia.'
I explained the situation and they unlocked my account, even still, it created a hassle
what's true is that if you depend on that money, it's best to get it into your own bank account because paypal will freeze you and not give a shit about it.
it's kind of strange how they can just TAKE your money....
what will you use in place of paypal? I'm curious.

i run an ebay biz and buy most of my material thru paypal so i need to use it but i have never had any probs with them...quite the opposite! they have come to my aid several times when sellers either never sent an item or it was bogus for any number of reasons and the sellers wouldn't honor their return policy... | |

I've used Paypal for sometime...I've never had a problem, but I would never leave any real amount of $$ in the account...
That said, I have had real problems with "real" banks... read the fine print... they can take your money, lock your account without a court order.
Face it... unless it's in your hands, you don't really have total control.
Good thing I'm broke, nothing for anyone to take... think I'll take another toke. Peace to all.

Is this really true? I have been using paypal for the past three years and this news is surprising for me. Please let me know further on this so that I will take all my hard earned money from that account? It would be great if you could let me know the details at the earliest. | |
