I've had serious problems with them in the past, not going to delve into what, but let's just say I won't deal with them again. They were also very eager to blame everything on my email provider, but I am pretty sure they have a leak on their end.

You do realize that with the number of hackers out there using bogus emails and the number of SpamAssassin entries being used by mail programs to filter out spam, that the words "poser" and "addicts" are both on the "naughty" list and are blacklisted to go into spam-mailboxes by most spam checking programs. We are not blaming anyone's mail providers - it is a real life problem of today. And PayPal does act carefully when activating sales on websites where the payment email does not match the email of the user in the store purchasing something or the email is of a new or dubious type of email address. This is where the internet has gone while checking for spam and hackers and thieves. Innocents get hurt more often than not. And more work is made for those running stores, as we need to manually process orders PayPal will not activate for our own protection. It is one of the reasons the old management decided to give up and quit. Over a period of time PoserAddicts had literally thousands of products stolen via fake email and stolen PayPal accounts, used with fake emails. So this method of protection was adopted after we worked with PayPal Europe to stop theft. Imagine someone stealing your PayPal account info, using a fake email address and buying thousand dollar gift certificates and downloading all those products, and being caught when PayPal tells you they only paid $0.10 for $1000.00 worth of goods. They have since fixed that hack in the PayPal interface but not after major damages were done. But that problem was real for us back in around 2010-2014. Since then I have handled the sales personally and individually from 2015 on.

I'm not sure when you had serious problems with PoserAddicts in the past, but the management has changed and I am the only person running it from Europe since 2015. I make sure everyone gets their download links the moment the PayPal payment and verification hits my smart phone email and PayPal app. The store is only running on fumes anymore with legacy products for Poser not being so much in demand anymore. Although an inventory of over 5000 products for Poser exists, only a few things still are exclusive and sell only at PoserAddicts. I don't want to close down the store, killing availabilty of legacy products which are no longer available elsewhere to go away. This thread today shocked me and made me wonder if I should just shut down the store forever.

My issue had nothing to do with emails or paypal, it had to do with leaking of private information to 3rd party. When I confronted them about it, they denied they had anything to do with it, and blamed my email provider. I honestly don't think they even understood what the problem was, I can only guess it was the language barrier. All they did at the time was make a post on their site urging their customers not to provide them with their real phone number.

This was pre-2015 tho, but because this issue happened more than once, I'm sure you can imagine I'm not really ready to trust them again. But whatever, water under the bridge.

Then you were absolutely wrong about the issue. They never sold email information to third parties. I've bought a lot of things from their site and the sister erotic store for years and never had issues. You most likely had an issue with another site; Poseraddicts is a very small operation, if there an actual issue, more people would have an issue, not just you.

To the op: I'm curious to why you would create a negative thread on a another store (which is against TOS on this site), and not even contact the site you had an issue with then block the payment, when your order was ready to download on your account?
