The adventure of making money online!

Paypal Limited account access

Posted by admin On June - 8 - 2008

The unexpected happened. My paypal account got a limited account status.

This means that i can receive payments, but i cannot make payments or withdraw funds.

This happened right after clicking the purchase button on ianfernando sale site for his bans templates.

I was not able to make the payment because my account got flagged, and the reason paypal gave me was this:

Why is my account access limited?

Your account access has been limited for the following reason(s):

  • Jun. 5, 2008: Our system detected unusual activity on a credit card linked to your PayPal account.
  • Ok, first, i had a credit card registered with paypal that expired long time ago and it was an attempt to verify my account with a service available here in portugal that makes credit cards for one transaction only. So there was no valid credit card on paypal, and the account said i had 0 CC registered with them.

    Ok, so how they have detected that unusual activity on a credit card was detected? I really don’t know, but i may think they have still associated my expired credit card with my account.

    I wasn’t caught on any fishing mail, because i never click on links to paypal through an email. And im sure Ian fernando site is trustworthy. So what the hell happen to give an alert to paypal?

    While i was thinking my first thing to do was change my password just in case. You never know… But now im ready to speculate, that paypal decided it was time for me to get verified, specially after my recent money withdrawal.

    What i have to do now it to upload my photo and a receipt proving my address, whichi will doo today. And then i have to add a credit card. This will be a potential problem to me, because i don’t have earnings statements or anything that proves me that i make x bucks a month. I need to study some solutionst oresolve this quickly because there are investments i want to make and i can’t because of this.

    If you live in portugal and know a good solution on getting a credit card with a ccv number would be great.

    Contest craziness!?

    Posted by admin On March - 20 - 2008

    Well, i was giving away 3000 entrecard credits, but for some reason, i only got one application! The deadline has passed, i even extended the the deadline but no more applications were made. I blame my self. I haven’t advertised the contest like i should, but, there is another thing. The prize. Maybe 3000 Entrecard credits don’t make a good prize to give. I agree with this. Maybe if i put a cash prize i would have the success has the first contest i ran here.

    So, the contest is officially cancelled! i thank Louis for his application, but im sad to say that the contest is over. well, at least you get a link to your site :)

    But, anyway back to “blaming spree” lol, i also blame those crazy contests! Those super contests, that grab a lot of sponsors and gather a total prize of $1000 , $2000 or even $12000!!!! They ruin the competition!!! or not!! :p

    Posted by admin On March - 9 - 2008

    I decided to check google analytics stats for this blog and decided that it was time to give credit to some blogs that are driving traffic to my.

    So here are some interesting articles from the blogs that kindly are bringing traffic to my blog :):

    Vikinblogger recently joined Payperpost and he is having some mixed thoughts about PPP, see for your self what he has to tell.

    is giving me some good traffic, but unfortunately i can’t read what they have to say because it is in a language i can’t read, Norwegian :|

    bloggeries.com gathers a community of bloggers from all over the world. This forum may help you a lot in your blogging life.

    JohnChow.com yeah, johnchow blog is sending me some traffic too. Jonh Chow is back with another post with food pictures… Some of you like and thin this is fun, others are tired of this kind of posts. You be the judge.. :p

    dinheirooportunidade.comin this case i would recommend the english version of this blog from a Portuguese guru. :) Custodio in his english blog tells you how to have Cheap, quality traffic, and stolen from your competitors

    And this is it. The are blogs that are sending me more traffic. For all of them my thanks, and keep them coming! :D

    Free IMVU credits

    Posted by admin On February - 22 - 2008

    Theres a new site around where you can earn points and redeem them for prizes! The site is called metaRL and you can redeem the earned points for free lindens for SecondLife, free peds for Entropia, or free imvu credits.

    This luck fun, but what is metaRL any way?

    It is simple to explain, if you play in one of those virtual worlds like Secondlife, then you must be part of this portal.

    If you register in this portal you will be able to earn points to spend. In this case the points are called metaPoints.

    How much money can I earn?

    Well that depends on you. You can make points by referring friends, playing games, taking surveys or participating in community contests. New ways of gathering those metaPoints are always appearing.

    If you are a fan of those virtual communities then register.
