If sav can't use paypal, I will leave sav from now on
Always nerve-wracking after what happened to Epik. I hope this is a glitch and nothing more.
if temp glitch then the guy who wrote that email should be fired on spot. cause first thing u say if its temp is that its temp.. and last thing you say if its temp is that u need new payment method for basically all of future.. I was getting comfy and liking sav... this is such bummer..
Sav is currently my favourite gtld registrar, for a clean panel and the prices. Yes, there are glitches but I usually shrug it off as growing pains. Hopefully the paypal issue won't kill them.
pp has what now 300mil users worldwide... or more... i bet tons domainers use pp.. buy sell etc.... pp is a deal breaker for most..domainers or other..
I know what you mean. SAV is not my favorite registrar, but they are my favorite auction marketplace site. They have become one of the primary places where I sell off my inventory that I no longer wish to renew. Without PayPal, those auctions are no longer going to garner much attention and they are not going to be worth my time.Sav is currently my favourite gtld registrar, for a clean panel and the prices.

Followed by the rest about adding another payment issue.We are currently experiencing technical difficulties affecting customers using PayPal as their payment method.
https://blog.sav.com/help-bring-paypal-back-to-savFirst off, we’d like to notify and thank our customers for their patience with the sudden issue regarding PayPal on our website.
Last night we received an email from PayPal stating that we can no longer do business with PayPal. The email didn’t state any more information except that there was a trademark or copyright violation regarding the sale of an item. We were never provided any additional information about the alleged violation. Additionally, we were never given any prior notice, nor any chance to explain any transaction before being banned.
We understand that PayPal has suddenly banned other domain service companies without initially giving detail of the reasoning, including NameBio last year. We are hoping for a chance to know why we have been banned, and to be given a chance to rectify the issue quickly and easily. But PayPal has not provided us any way to do that, other than to send a letter to their legal department.
To suddenly ban an ICANN-accredited domain name registrar without providing any specific details is a bad business practice. Sav and other registrars deserve a chance to explain and rectify any transaction before suffering a total, sudden ban. We hope that PayPal will reach back out to us soon to correct this mistake.
To our many users that use PayPal as their primary payment method, we are just as frustrated as you are. At the moment, we suggest you use a credit card to make any purchases on Sav while our attorneys work to contact PayPal and resolve this issue. We are hoping to get this issue solved as quickly as possible.
PayPal’s sudden and unfair decision to ban Sav has hurt our business. We are trying to do everything we can to give creators and domain investors the easiest experience possible, and PayPal has been part of that experience for many of our customers, for two years.
If you have any connections at PayPal or time to tweet them on behalf of Sav, then we would greatly appreciate the support! We will update this post as soon as we get more information.
> there was a trademark or copyright violation regarding the sale of an item
So I guess all the other dropcatchers and marketplaces are next...? Soon we will be paying for domains with cash, or maybe gold...
It doesn’t look good for those who pay with PayPal.
