Since this post will be current until January, thought I'd be salty/have fun with it. Let's see if we get Bingo, shall we?

Re: Hemophobia

[(Anonymous)]

I use a different email for Paypal than the one I signed up for FR on and I've never had a problem buying gems through it so I suspect that's bullshit.

Re: Hemophobia

No, it's not just that they used a different email. That's fine. The implication is that there's a Flightrising account attached to their paypal email as well as their main account. Which is potentially less fine.

Oh, I see. Like, the Paypal account is being used to buy gems on two separate active accounts? Did Hemophobia have any thoughts on who owned the other account?

Re: Hemophobia

Basically as I understand from what I read-

Email 1 - Hemophobia account email.

Email 2 - Their personal email account with PayPal attached, that also has a second FR account, according to staff, found in payment issue dispute.

Both emails are theirs.

Since I don't really know the intricacies of Paypal and FR relationship, can't someone buy gems for someone else on FR and so two FR accounts would be attached to one Paypal account?

you can't buy gems for someone else (the gems will always go to you first and you have to send them to your friend). if you go to buy gems it sends you to PayPal checkout and there's nowhere to specify that the gems would go to someone else. so if a PayPal account is attached to two FR accounts, it means that the person has access to both accounts.

i guess people could run into trouble if for example a family member buys gems for a child or spouse or whatever with their own credit card or PayPal account. hopefully staff uses other clues to conclusively decide that someone is multiaccounting.

Yeah having your paypal account attached to different user than your own is sus but it would suck if you were locked because your kid wanted you to buy gems.

Re: Hemophobia

Yeah, I am pretty sure that it had little if not nothing to do with the paypal.

I am pretty sure my sister allowed me to use her paypal account to buy gems on my account, and she used the same account to buy gems on HER account and neither of us were locked.

This.

I once allowed my roommate to use my paypal to buy gems for a WC cycle-in, bc Paypal had frozen their account because they had just legally changed their name, and Paypal threw a shit fit over it.

I had used my own account to buy gems for WC scrolls THAT DAY.

That was three years ago, and we're both still playing, ban free. (We're no longer roommates.)

Only way I could see that being an issue is if they're doing that multiple times on the same paypal for the same two accounts on a regular basis.

Got it, now I understand the problem (and the potential family add-on)!
