Wise words Stewart.

And I'm glad Martin has a store of mats for HI. I seem to have lost mine again!  😶

Richard here from Tinywargames. I have run Tiny wargames since 2015, I have over 200 mat designs and over 1000 happy customers, we ran everything within paypal inc shipping, printing, clients and money transactions, we use paypal working capital as a cashflow option, which we have used for 3 years, we were promised £29000, but after another request the paypal "algorithm" suddenly said NO!

We had an option of getting an investor to put cash into the business, but they pulled out after we announced this on facebook.

We have had to close the website down as its not right to take any more money or orders if they can not be processed.

ALL MONIES ARE AND HAVE been processed but this does take time, paypal are not being helpful or responsive, even though we process £95000 a year via them! The last thing we want to do is upset our valued customers, we are looking for new investment in the new year, nothing dodgy, I am NOT a thief, we are victims of paypals stupid automated Agorithm system!

Sorry you are having problems Richard. Bad news.
Putting the information on here is a very good idea. It cuts the gossip off.
Best wishes.  Let us know when you are running agian.

@Richard,
Thank you very much for taking the trouble to sign up to this Forum and setting the record straight.
I too am sorry that you have had these issues with PayPal and wish you all the best in getting them sorted out in the New Year.
Many of us here are big fans of your products, so I hope you will continue to have a strong customer base here once things are back on an even keel.

Adding my thanks Richard to what sounds like a really difficult situation. Those are scary sums of money.
