PayPal drops Sav.com in repeat of NameBio’s adventure

PayPal has dropped domain registrar Sav.com from its services, without much of an explanation. Sav is a premium sponsor of DomainGang.

According to a new blog post by Sav, the company was not given any prior notice, nor the chance to explain any transaction before being banned:

“We understand that PayPal has suddenly banned other domain service companies without initially giving detail of the reasoning, including NameBio last year. We are hoping for a chance to know why we have been banned, and to be given a chance to rectify the issue quickly and easily.

But PayPal has not provided us any way to do that, other than to send a letter to their legal department.”

To suddenly ban an ICANN-accredited domain name registrar without providing any specific details is a bad business practice. 

In 2020, NameBio had to jump through several hoops in order to get its services reinstated by PayPal.

Sav, is seeking assistance in establishing communications with PayPal in order to be re-instated:

If you have any connections at PayPal or time to tweet them on behalf of Sav, then we would greatly appreciate the support! We will update this post as soon as we get more information. 

Update 8/22/2022: Services have been re-instated.
