PayPal Mastercard blocked?

I transfered some money over to my paypal account assuming I could just use my PayPal mastercard to deposit money into PE, but when I tried, I got this error:

The bank that authorizes payments for your credit card (BANK ONE N.A.) has been blocked by MindArk.

I’ve submitted a support already, but I just wanted to know if anyone else has seen this. Does PE have a problem with Paypal?

I have had a similar case with my Bank of America card. I sent a support case to MA and they are currently working on it. As far as I know the problem is with the bank and not with MA. I know when I would deposit in the past with my “B of A” card they would block my account for protection since the money was going over seas. The last time I spoke with “B of A” support they said MA was on a list and they would not allow any business with them. So in a way it sucks for both MA and “B of A” since I used that card exclusively for PE because of the added security. Thanks for updating on the Paypal card I was thinking of using mine now I won’t bother. Hopefully MA will work something out. When I get a final support response I will post them. :slight_smile:

Yeah, a socmate of mine notified me about a week ago that he was having trouble making a deposit using his “B of A” credit card as well…turns out “B of A” has Mindark on a list of “Fraudulent Merchants” and won’t permit any business to be conducted with MA from “B of A” accounts.

I haven’t looked into this further myself (I have B of A accounts) since I haven’t deposited in over 6 months now and don’t anticipate the need (Or desire) to do so ever again.

MA replied thusly:

Hi,

Unfortunately, we have been forced to (temporary) block this Bank for deposits with PE by security reasons.

Someone has been able to “hack” a few customers accounts at this Bank and then to get CC numbers, CVV codes and activation numbers from statements out

Currently we are not shure when it might be reopened.

In the meantime we would have to ask you to take the step through PayByCash, Game-Time.Info etc.

Sounds fair to me.

Deposit options

Go through GTI. It takes a bit of getting used to but once you have it set up it works like a charm. Also GTI goes by the euro so if you watch the currency markets you can save a lil cash. Also if you already have a PayPal account its alot easier.

Paypal sucks of course it sucks. I get all the information from this website : http://www.aboutpaypal.org

You registered just to post that?
And who knows that might all be bullshit on that site.

I rather trust paypal than an unauthorised website without sources and a link to some old non-professional looking FREE! alternative? That sounds more like a scam though.

Why did you even necro this topic?? did you notice the date at all?
