    Maybe post what the problem is and get some log files and we may be able to assist.

    No I didn't. There's some kind of server problem going on. I can't get a straight answer from the admin so I have no idea if and when it will be back online. Sorry for the trouble. I'll post any updates on reddit.

    hopefully they do backups. i do that for my people.
    not as much as i should, though.
    i encourage them to backup every week [and i make a script that does that] and download the backups.

    It died and needed to be restored, but there still seems to be something wrong with the telnet service.... Dont see any attempted connection in the log file.

    I set my servers up to back up every day at 1:00am and keep the last 5 backups. But if you dont save out the backup you want you will lose a usefull backup if you wait 5 days. My backup scripts can also be set to ftp a copy of the backup to a remote server if they have one.

    Which is why I recommend vendors to charge extra fees when

    pay over PayPal, but then the are going to cover for the
    extra risk they are introducing in the equatio


    i dont think paypal allows you to do that, unless they changed it.


    They don't allow that, but as far as I am concerned they can shove a
    spiked ball up their ###.

    I'm starting to use Paypal (PP) more and more like a bank.

    The audio book people that I affiliate with:

    https://libro.fm/ashlies

    ..have arranged payouts with a service that offers cheques, PP,
    or direct deposits into a bank account.

    I turns out that their clawback minimum fee per direct deposit
    is $5. For a cheque it's $10. For PP its $1 + 2%. Guess which
    one I opted for. The latter.

    PP is also pretty good for sending people reminders to pay an
    overdue bill. Some people opt for that. The funds in the PP
    account can accumulate as far as I'm concerned for there is at
    least one vendor that accepts PP payments for their product
    after I order a bunch:

    https://www.thebookseat.ca/

    So for now, PP as a bank / slush fund is fine.

    paypal is not a bank and they dont want to hold onto your money. they make money with transactions. they can block you from your money some day just because someone reported you. you could have a crazy dude just try to cause shit with you. it happens to a lot of people

    a temp holding place incase I need to access money to pay a
    vendor who prefers PP.

    Is eTransfer (an Interac-related service) available in your part
    of the USA?

    I find eTransfer even better. With just a simple encoded email
    link, when a person sends me money, it goes straight into my
    bank account. No advance passphrases required. And the
    transaction cannot be reversed.

    oh that's what i was using it for. until a crazy person reported me and paypal wouldn't talk to me. so i couldnt access my money. i could only refund all the people that sent me money. have fun with that. you might think it won't ever happen to you but me and other people felt that way too.

    That is a totally disgusting. But was the crazy reporting linked
    to a buy/sell transaction with another service?

    In my case, I am only limiting PP use to just payouts. The
    incoming are from people who are paying me direct to PP as a
    form to send me payment - that is, there is no online merch
    transactions via a 3rd party. However, overall the activity is
    quite low to non-existant.

    have fun with that. you might think it won't ever happen
    to you but me and other people felt that way too.

    So... the initial transaction was tied to an eBay/amazon-like
    service where you were selling some THING?
