PayPal Problem - NOW RESOLVED
From Peter White - NOC Vice Chairman
The problem was caused when the club attempted to add a new admin user to the account. The user apparantly had a similar name to a person of interest in Canada who according to PayPal had 'political sensitivity'. We explained patiently that despite having a popular name our candidate for the account wasn't some sort of political extremist! ...but they were determined to make us jump through a large number of security hoops before they finally accepted (on Wednesday 25th November) that our candidate was indeed not the person they were concerned with.
We share our members concern and will want to see that this situation never happens again!

Monday PM Update - Despite now believing that we know why the limitation was placed on the account, PayPal still appear unable to assist us to remove it.
