There are plenty of reason why people seems to be unable to withdraw their Paypal money from their account. One of the main reason is that Paypal prohibit users from certain countries from withdrawing their Paypal account into local bank account, and getting a US checking account incurs additional costs that might not justify its use.

2Checkout does not permit selling Paypal, Clickbank related Items

I don’t know if any of you already know about this, but I recently read in one forum about 2Checkout won’t let a newly registered seller use its service solely because he sells Paypal and Clickbank related e-book.

Here’s the excerpt from the 2CO email taken from the forum :

Hello,

Sorry for the delay. 2CO does not support the service you wish
to provide. There is nothing illegal about it, it is just that 2CO
chooses not to support software that allows clients this type of
information on Paypalâ„¢ and Clickbankâ„¢. I do apologize for this
inconvenience. Please let me know if you wish to use the 2Co account for
something else or I can certainly close and refund the account?

Sounds like 2Checkout has its own anti-competition policy regarding items related to Paypal and Clickbank. It seems that the product status fell into “2CO’s sole discretion”, as it is not included in the “official” list ofProhibited Products in 2CO site.

btw, the seller did get his money back from 2CO because of that. So you can forget about using 2Checkout service if you’re planning to sell its competitor related items.
