Hi, I have a question I'd like to be answered if possible.
My PA account has over $2k+ worth of orders (all purchases, no selling), why do little orders such as $5 still get flagged? It's really annoying. My account is also 2+ years old. I don't use PA as much as I used to, actually I haven't used it in 3 months, so I don't know if the policy has changed, even if I would pay by PayPal balance, or credit card, it would get flagged.
Hey Fubi,
Thanks for your question, it is a very good one. Right now our system is
way too strict. I know this, and likely a good number would agree. It hasn't been announced yet, so Sythe users will hear it first I suppose, but we are working on a new payment aggregator system which, actually will be ready to integrate into our platform in about 10 days, however I am postponing its deployment until Jan (end of month, we experience higher volume of trading. Boy's buying their honey's game accounts so they can have "playdates" :love: ^_^ ).
The new payment center is supposed to be more "intelligent". That isn't to say that it isn't already, actually our risk management and fraud prevention systems are highly sophisticated... but they're too strict. Living internationally, I feel the eCommerce frustration of honest buyers. I've been there.
We also deployed an internal "rating system" of all users which should take into greater account trading history and purchasing/selling behavior. Why our system is manually reviewing $5 orders for you, I can't answer immediately, but if you send me your username, I'd be interested in looking into it. Our system employs well over 100 rules for all transactions and it may simply be that you're account is flagging a greater number of the less weighty rules or perhaps flagging a really big one, either way it'd be helpful for me to look into.
Just a super fast note as to why our system is more strict than less strict, I think is fairly understandable, as it's "better to be safe than sorry". I think I'll write a separate post on this for people who are interested in risk management and fraud prevention.
Toss me your username however, and let me see if there is something I can fine tune for you.
Glad to see PA PR making an assiduous effort rectifying mistakes on their end here at Sythe.org.
Thank you SellerMan. Very much appreciated.
