[freenet-support] Payment failure
Dear Freenet people, I just got this email from Paypal: Dear David Hershberger, Your subscription payment to Freenet Project Inc for Freenet Project Membership failed on May 17, 2004 because of problems with Freenet Project Inc's account. We will try to make this subscription payment again on May 20, 2004. -- Subscription Details -- Amount: $20.00 USD Date of payment failure: May 17, 2004 Date of next payment attempt: May 20, 2004 Subscription Name: Freenet Project Membership Subscription Number: S-8HJ8572886814752L Is there something going on with freenet's paypal account that you know of? Is the money still needed I presume?

Freenet project paypal account frozen was Re: [freenet-support] Payment failure
The account has apparently been frozen. Feel free to slashdot. (I was rather tempted to CC this to announce, but I don't think it would have been a good idea :) ). We should be able to get the money back (fortunately there wasn't much in the account).. but it may take 6 months... Apparently the AUP prohibits the use of anonymizing proxies. We naively assumed that this means to access the account - which is something we have never done. But perhaps it means that you are prohibited from developing one, in which case that would explain it.

Re: Freenet project paypal account frozen was Re: [freenet-support] Payment failure
Yep, I phoned them up and they wouldn't give me any reason beyond use of anonymizing proxy, but did point out that according to their Terms of Service, they don't need one. This is extremely annoying because we lose the numerous monthly subscriptions that people had signed up for, hopefully most of those people are subscribed to one or more of these mailing lists so they can re-sign up once we have found a suitable alternative. My suspicion is that someone inside or outside of Paypal took a dislike to the project and emailed their abuse address. I am sure Toad will agree that we make it his #1 priority to get us set up with an alternative to Paypal ASAP. Ian. Toad wrote: The account has apparently been frozen. Feel free to slashdot.
