After more than 10 years doing business with PayPal, they have decided to terminate Ghostbusters Fans' merchant account and seize our funds. We had done thousands of successful transactions with PayPal over the years, and have never had a chargeback or unresolved dispute (in fact disputes almost never happened). Despite that PayPal determined we were a "high risk" and decided to "part ways" with Ghostbusters Fans. What this means for you is that we will no longer be able to sell items using PayPal, and in some cases we will no longer be able to carry parts from our suppliers that were paid for with PayPal. We discovered that due to PayPal's control and market share that ultimately it is wrong to support a payment system that can frankly do whatever they want. It’s important not to rely on PayPal for anything, as a seller or a buyer. After sharing our news with others, we found that this was not unusual for PayPal to do, and countless Ghostbusters Fans have had money seized and their accounts at PayPal terminated against their will.
If you are able close your account voluntarily at PayPal, we strongly urge you to do so. If you are selling items on Ghostbusters Fans, we recommend accepting Money Orders or an alternative form of escrow payment. Sellers should make options available to buyers that don't require PayPal's involvement. If you are buying items from sellers on Ghostbusters Fans, we recommend using a method that is not PayPal and demanding alternative payment methods from your seller. Keep in mind that eBay is almost exclusively linked to PayPal and by using eBay you are almost certainly stuck with PayPal.
