Be Careful of your wording

[OKLAHOMAN]

Just a heads up to all , Pay Pal is holding up funds on all orders with the word Damascus in it until they can verify you are not a Terrorist. This is what the world has come to, not Pay Pal's fault it's just the times we now live in. I wonder what other key words are being scrutinized on the internet. I'll bet you'll have the same thing if you sell Syrian, Iranian, or Pakistani Rugs.

If the governments of the world can't verify if someone is or isn't a terrorist, how does Pay Pal think they can ?? Jim S

Jim, my thinking is that the word Damascus automatically shut it down for someone to look at it and when they see it's for a product it will be released, at least that's what Pay Pal told me.

Roy, you just saved a lot of folks some real aggravation. Thanks for the heads up.

go in and abbreviate the name of Damascus to either Dam or Cus.
