Until further notice all Outstanding Payments and Future Tournaments from SEAcraftTV will be put on hold.

Currently Paypal has decided to suspend the account I recently made to transfer money in and out and the amount of money going in and out has apparently raised suspicions.

Outstanding Money is owed to PSiArc, Frustration, Sparrow and Rival. Be assured that I do have the money to pay, I just don't have the ability to send this money to you. Hopefully it will be resolved soon, but until that time I can't payout any prizes for the tournament.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

PSiArc, Sparrow have been Paid. If Frustration, RivaL and Lobo could pm me their payment details I can fix up their winnings!

Good man philo. I like your fiscal responsibility. You are honestly the example people should follow in this scene when paying out tournament money. (...this sounds so sarcastic...haha I'm being legit though, good work dude)

This is curious. Why should it raise suspicions? Isnt that what paypal is used for?

I don't know, I didn't have any problems with the previous account. I just made a new account so I could separate SEAcraft stuff from my own private dealings. The problem is, they make it really difficult to lift the limitation that they place on the account.

:/ Sounds irritating. Hope it all works out soon

They do like to make it really hard to use an account that is not linked to an actual bank account/credit card...

Yeah, I made a new account in the past and after I transferred like 100 dollars into it they suspended it. Gotta send them pictures of your identity card and stuff to prove that you're the name you signed up as etc. etc.

lol just re-read. It's not your private account that's the issue. Is the cash locked up in the seacraft account and you cant use another paypal acc?

The money is locked into the paypal account. Just can't send money to anyone.

Good to see full disclosure

What about payment via bank instead? I find this is much easier and quicker (For Aust at least).

If I can't sort this out by next week. I'll start tournaments up again and use my bank account to do the transference of money.

Hi Philo...in my opinion...if they are not chasing you for the money (they should understand your situation after reading your post/thread). I would keep SC2 related separate from your Personal Bank Account, just wait and lay pressure on PayPal to resolves this in a reasonable time.

It always best not to mix personal with business (in this case Starcraft2). So you know all the money going in or out is related to Starcraft2, which is ideal if you are using it for taxes or whatever you need to keep track of the money, i.e. Starcraft Payment History (for whatever reason).
