12:18.42 | DocScrutinizer05 | it's the reminder of a ~5k that were not frozen, while the freeze applied to another ~38k |
12:19.03 | DocScrutinizer05 | I have no clue whatsoever whom this money belongs to |
12:19.10 | DocScrutinizer05 | well "belongs to" |
12:19.32 | DocScrutinizer05 | PP doesn't provide any per-payment info about the status |
12:19.42 | DocScrutinizer05 | not related to freeze anyway |
12:20.57 | DocScrutinizer05 | http://wstaw.org/m/2015/10/16/plasma-desktopdC9051.png is all I know |

12:26.46 | DocScrutinizer05 | those 5k are older than 4. Sep 2015 - since they were the non-frozen remainder at that date. No further info |

12:27.48 | DocScrutinizer05 | it's not my translation |
12:28.06 | saper | I know :) |
12:28.30 | saper | but if you tab to July and August (maybe earlier?) what's the oldest one blocked? |
12:28.38 | DocScrutinizer05 | 4. Sep 2015 |
12:28.56 | saper | okay |
12:29.29 | DocScrutinizer05 | 33k |
12:30.08 | saper | I don't think I get it :) |
12:30.12 | saper | is 33k debit or credit? |
12:52.38 | DocScrutinizer05 | 33k is what PP froze initially, leaving ~5k unfrozen |

19:52.59 | ravelo | I just found a very interesting article about alternative payment methods |

19:56.03 | wpwrak | maybe post the link here ? he'll see it when he returns |
19:57.05 | wpwrak | in general, alternative payment methods tend to be tricky. first, because they can have their own quirks. second, because there seems to be a lot of fraudsters out there. |
19:59.01 | ravelo | Yes. I think i got a good understanding by reading thus site: |
19:59.06 | ravelo | http://www.digitalmarketer.com/paypal-vs-stripe-vs-merchant-account/ |
20:00.58 | ravelo | Neo900 is doing high risk business according to payment companies |
20:01.31 | ravelo | "Delivering the product in the future" is mentioned in this site as one criteria |
20:01.52 | wpwrak | i guess that's a fair assessment. not quite as risky as dealing with some financial instruments, but definitely riskier than a trip to the bakery |
20:02.07 | ravelo | Yes |
20:02.50 | wpwrak | "Failing to understand this difference has caused thousands of entrepreneurs to lose their businesses." encouraging :( |
20:02.54 | ravelo | And freezing accounts happens quite often. Especially but not even excliusvely |
20:03.05 | ravelo | With paypal |
20:05.28 | ravelo | If he really has access to 30% this might not even be so bad |
20:05.31 | ravelo | ..... |
20:07.16 | ravelo | I will read the logs in the meantime and talk to you next time. |
20:09.02 | ravelo | wpwrak btw great talks on ccc. Very interesting. Thanks |
20:16.02 | wpwrak | just read the article. that explains a lot, thanks ! paypal did indeed get nervous when we had the brief spike from the down payments |
20:17.13 | wpwrak | it would also suggest that paypal could release a good portion of the money within the next ~6 weeks. that's still pretty long, but may not be catastrophic |

20:20.39 | wpwrak | access to 30% seems to work like this: we place an order, pre-pay for it, then send the invoice to paypal and hope 30% of the amount will be released. |
20:22.47 | wpwrak | alas, we don't have the common cost structure of 1/3 for production, 1/3 for sales and taxes, and 1/3 for r&d and profit, where such a 30% rule could work (depending on how reliably paypal release money, and whether there are large orders that would still exceed liquidity) |
