Zitat:Update on Paypal Review and Other Matters (Reporting at MPA Server time 28th Dec, 20:00:00):
[1] As what started as a small review, it turned to some what major review again. The reasons quoted by Paypal for their extensive review at this junction has been in wake of some of the Policy Changes that they made at their corporate level in Singapore.
As part of their review they stopped both "Receiving Money" and "Sending Money" options in our account.
I have submitted all the documents and replies to their questions and they are expediting the review process. They have not yet given the time frame on when they can finish the review because of the absence of some of their experts who need to do the review process. But, I urged them to finish it soon because we have been on hold since 23rd Dec.
[2] As it is a major review and as we can not accept add funds and send payments through Paypal, we are closing the Add funds and withdrawals with all other payment processors and everything will be resumed after we hear back from Paypal.
I will update as soon as I hear back from Paypal. Until then the add funds and withdrawals are closed with all payment processors. Thanks.

Admin, MPA

Zitat:Update on Paypal Review (Reporting at MPA Server time 30th Dec, 04:20:00):
[1] We have been pushing Paypal for finishing the review and let us know the outcome and it is still not done yet because of the unavailability of their full team members. Therefore, we are still waiting in anxiety for the outcome of the review.
Meanwhile, I am asked to meet them in person for a discussion regarding the review on Monday at 2 pm.
So, I am expecting that they will conclude their review and let us know the outcome during that meeting. Hence, our waiting is extended until Monday, 4th Jan 2016.
[2] As of now we are not able to receive the funds, send the funds and withdraw the funds from Paypal account.
[3] As it is a major review and as we can not accept add funds and send payments through Paypal, we still close the Add funds and withdrawals with all other payment processors and everything will be resumed after we hear back from Paypal.
We are going through very tough situation now and hoping for the best so that we resume to normal operation as soon as possible. I thank everyone for your cooperation and understanding.
Regards,
Admin, MPA.

Zitat:Update on PayPal Review (Reporting at 4th Jan 2016, 02:00)
Dear All,
We had a good meeting with PayPal Team and they had clearly shared their concerns on how the current limitation was put and what they were looking for from us. We were asked to make some changes to the Pay plan and website content to address their concerns and after we agree to those changes suggested by them and submit the drafts of the proposed changes, they shall be most probably finishing the review in 24-48 hrs time after submission. We need to make those changes to comply with paypal's new Terms and Conditions. I am just waiting for the meeting minutes while working on preparing the possible responses. We will update to you all as soon as we have some progress. Our petition and tweets have worked well and they acknowledged all of your unfailing support to MPA. We deeply appreciate everyone of you who made it possible. Thanks.

Admin, MPA

Zitat:Update on PayPal Review (Reporting at 8th Jan 2016, 04:00):
Dear All,
I have been patiently waiting for the review outcome but it has not happened today yet. I had a conversation with our manager and she was telling that there are couple of teams working on the review which are based in Singapore, USA and at other locations and because of that it is taking more time as they all based at different time zones.
We have well expressed all our anxieties and the kind of damage it is causing on the business but they are just asking for more time as many teams are involved to look at the case.
We cannot continue unless we know the outcome of the PayPal review in terms of enabling the add funds and withdrawals. We are making plans necessary such that we do not encounter such halting in future. But, we only can continue the journey after we hear the review outcome.
I know everyone of you are patiently waiting for the outcome of review and continuation of the business, but give ourselves some more time as requested by PayPal and continue as soon as we hear their review outcome.
I will share with you all as soon as I have any progress. Thanks.
Regards,
Admin, MPA

Zitat:Update on PayPal Review (Reporting at 11th Jan 2016, 01:00):

Dear All,

I just had an update from our PayPal account manager in response to my inquiry sent today morning and she told that they are rushing to finish the review as soon as possible and she foresee that they can let us know the outcome of the current review by tomorrow evening. They had a meeting setup among different teams at 11 am Singapore time tomorrow and she foresee that they can let us know their advice after the meeting and post discussions in their team.

We waited long and let us wait for this time period also and then we can continue after we know the PayPal review outcome. Thanks.

Update on PayPal Review (Reporting at 12th Jan 2016, 02:30):
Dear All,
I got some update from PayPal regarding the ongoing review and before we discuss it, just few words of background on why the current review is going on. There has been some changes recently in the terms and User Agreement policy at PayPal because of which they no longer support ad revenue sharing sites worldwide (or support conditionally) and because of which they have been reviewing our program to see whether there is any possible compliance so that we can continue using PayPal at our program. In the event if they find that we cannot continue using Paypal, they will freeze the funds in Paypal for 180 days before giving the access to us.
So, what we have been trying now is to see whether our business model is compliant with their terms or not so that we can continue the business with PayPal and have the access to our buyers' funds.
Some good news is PayPal found that they can be able to support Ad Revenue Sharing programs in Singapore with some changes made to their terms and conditions locally. So, they proposed to us that they will formulate those new terms and conditions locally so that if we match with them we can continue using PayPal at our program with newly implemented changes. In the event we decide not to be compliant with their revised terms and want to continue with our current business model and with other payment processors, the money in our PayPal will be frozen for 180 days and then will be released to MPA.
Hence, after careful consideration of all possible solutions, MPA management has taken the decision to wait until we know the revised terms and conditions of PayPal so that we can get the approval to use PayPal at our program. Until that point of time we will not be able to enable the add funds and also not able to enable the withdrawals using all payment processors. This may bring some disruption to our business but this seems to be the best solution at this point of time.
At the moment PayPal has not given any time frame yet regarding the whole process to be done but it may can take up to 2 weeks. We will know some indication of the exact time frame that it takes as we progress further.
On whole what we are seeing is it will be better to know PayPal's new terms to us so that once we are comfortable with those new terms we can run the business for long term without any major issues. The PayPal has changed their terms to be in compliant with the government policies, so when we are complaint with PayPal terms means we are fully compliant with the government legal rules.
We apologize for all the inconvenience caused and we hope that this whole process will make us strong to be in this industry for long term and serve everyone better to realize their dreams.
We will continue to update as soon as we have some progress. Thanks.
Regards,
Admin, MPA

Dear All,

Hope you are all doing great.

We got the revised guidelines from PayPal and we need to further revise our PayPlan to get them approved so that we can continue to use PayPal at MPA. As we highlighted it earlier, we need to get this done so that we have the access to our funds and continue our business.

After a careful and thorough consideration, we submitted a revised Pay Plan to them for their suggestions and/or approval. So, the next action is to continue working with PayPal until the both parties (MPA and PayPal) come to an agreement on the new Pay Plan. At the moment, we do not know the exact time frame on when it will be finished, but after we hear their first course of comments/suggestions, we can be able to estimate the time frame on when this whole process will finish.

More details will be posted when we have some new progress.

We understand how eagerly everyone is waiting, but we need to have some new progress to post to you all. In a nutshell we are working on to finish it as soon as possible so that we can continue the business. Thanks.

Regards,
Admin, MPA

5th Feb 2016 - Update

Dear All,
Hope you had a productive week. With lot of regret we like to pass on the message that we have not been able to come to an agreeable PayPlan with PayPal (which can be reasonably profitable for our members) and hence we will not be having PayPal as a payment process supporting MPA any longer and our funds inside PayPal are frozen for 180 days.
The reasons for PayPal not supporting MPA is because of some global policy changes within their organization in terms of supporting Advertising Revenue Sharing programs. They primarily view these businesses as “Get-rich quick scheme” after certain daily volume of the business and hence they see them high risk for their buyers. They especially see the businesses as riskier when they have rapid growth in shorter period of time. That is the reason for them departing ways with ad rev share programs after supporting for certain period of time.
The revised terms given to us can only allow to run a simple Paid-To-Click website which has entirely different business model and may not bring the type of rewards that ad rev share program can offer. All our efforts to convince PayPal for some similar business models like the current one have not been successful.
Therefore, we will not use PayPal at MPA any more. Our current funds inside PayPal are frozen for 180 days from 4th January 2016. During this time, I will not have access to those funds.
Our business has grown with PayPal and our 95% funds are in PayPal and hence moving forward we have to take some major changes to our program so that we can run it longer and as profitable as before. We are committed to be in this industry and serving the members and advertisers of Ad Rev Share programs for long term. The business in this field is ever increasing and looking at the name and popularity that we accumulated in this field, we are fully committed to be continuing in this business for long term.
Therefore, we will have some major changes in moving forward and below are certain pointers for the same:
[1] We will continue the business with New PayPlan. The optional non-guaranteed revenue sharing will be up to 120% instead of up to 150% in our old PayPlans. The details of the new PayPlan will be provided as soon as possible with the tentative date of launch.
[2] The members accounts will be re-adjusted to continue forward. The revenue sharing for all the current adpacks will be stopped and they will be made inactive in terms of receiving the revenue sharing. 
[3] Members who have withdrawn more than their deposited seed money will have to make a new beginning with zero balance in their accounts. 
[4] Members of payments processors of Payza, STP, PM and Bitcoin will have the initial account balance as the amount that they yet to receive to reach their deposited seed money (i.e. the difference between their deposited money and the total withdrawn money). This money can only be used to make new purchases in the new PayPlan and cannot be used for withdrawals at the launch time.
[5] For PayPal members we will add the amount that they yet to receive to reach their deposited seed money to their accounts in the new PayPlan after 180 days so that they can use them to build their accounts. Members who cannot wait for 180 days will need to claim the money from PayPal
as the money is fozen with PayPal for 180 days and MPA don't have the access to it. Hence, the PayPal members have to use fresh deposits to make any purchases in the new PayPlan. We urge the members to put a clause to accept the partial refunds, if they are disputing, so that PayPal can make a suitable judgement regarding the case. 
[6] We will continue to deliver the advertising views as per the Surf Banner Credits that you have or that you will be using. Unfortunately, we will not be able to continue the optional and non-guaranteed revenue sharing for the older adpacks because of the disruption to the business due to the discontinuity of PayPal and the frozen funds inside the same. This has serious consequence on the revenue generation and the company funds and hence the revenue sharing for the older packs is discontinued. 
[7] We sincerely apologise for all the inconvenience and any monetary losses that may have caused to you and as you all can agree such unexpected losses in this business cannot be avoided some times and Ups and Downs are common. Our thoughts are with every one of you who have experienced the possible loss of time, energy and any monetary losses. We tried our best to avoid such things to happen but we failed. We learned the lesson and will be more efficient in future. Hopefully, we provide a good environment to earn back the losses that may have occurred.
[8] We will continue the new PayPlan with Payza, STP, PM and Bitcoin. We are currently working on the other payment processors and the details will be passed soon once they are ready. Any payment processor will be seriously considered which does not hold our money so that we will not experience any such disruption in the future. The payment processors we are considering have multiple options of funding (through credit cards, bank wire etc) and multiple withdrawal options including customized debit cards.
We will also be posting a video elaborating the above facts in 1-2 hrs from now while you go through this announcement. Thanks.
Regards,
Admin, MPA

2nd Feb 2016 - Update
Update on the PayPal review (Updating at MPA Server time 2nd Feb 2016, 01:45):
Dear All,
A short and quick note. We are working very closely with Paypal to put a closer to the issue. They are being slow and we do not want to drag too long also because our members are loosing the patience. So, we asked them to tell us the final word on our revised PayPlan submitted recently within 1-2 days time from now.
[1] If they approve our revised PayPlan, we get the access to our funds and we can continue to pay to the members under new PayPlan.
[2] If they does not approve and/or say they need more time (without giving a proper time frame) beyond 1-2 days time, we discontinue our efforts and make a plan to continue the business without PayPal. In this situation our money in Paypal account will be frozen for 180 days.
So, we are closer to hear a solution soon, i.e. 1-2 days from now. We will let all of you know the Plan to move forward soon. Thanks.
Regards,
Admin, MPA
