It’s common knowledge that Paypal has regarded the PTC site business as somewhat shady as a result of so many complaints of scam sites that have taken users money.  But it’s also been a gauge of how legit a site is.  In order for a PTC site to actually be able to offer Paypal as a payout option, it has to be in really good standing and that’s very hard for most PTCs.  As you have probably noticed there are very few Bux type PTCs that actually accept Paypal.

Slow Decline

We have seen a gradual decline in PTC sites that offered Paypal since the beginning of the year.  Mostly notably was the demise of bux.to.  Still very popular, but having lost much of its appeal after Paypal cut its ties from them.  The site was forced to use other means of payout, and as a result, bux.to went into a tail spin having delayed payments up to 6 months.  One by one sites were being dropped by Paypal and the future with PTC sites was looking gloom indeed.

Darlings of Paypal

After some time the dust settled and there were still some sites left.  These sites were deemed to be trustworthy and thus became favorites of many.  Crewbux, Thinkbux, and Neobux amongst the leaders.  Then without notice it started again.  The once “darlings” of Paypal began to have its problems with the payment processor.  First Crewbux, then Thinkbux.  How could these two sites who have a fantastic history of paying its members within 24 to 48 hours be cut off from Paypal.   This was very troubling indeed.

The Final Blow

There were still a few left, most prominent being Neobux.  Now we all know Neobux pays instantly and they have great support and involvement by their admin, so there is good reason why they have strong ties with Paypal and no need for worry.  But amazingly, just last night the admin had announced the bad news.  Not only had Paypal cutoff Neobux, but had frozen all its funds for a time of 180 days.  According to the site, that is 72% of its current funds.  A pretty disturbing number if you are a member and my guess is just about everyone involved with PTCs is.

Conclusion

This looks like the end of the relationship between Paypal and Bux PTC sites.  Now we turn to Alertpay.  A bit of a rough start by this payment processor, but it is slowly becoming more dependable.  We can only hope that Alertpay does not do the same thing Paypal has done or the PTC community may have its days numbered.
