This is just for information purposes for those who use PP when buying / selling Nelson Pass components from the Aleph lines. If you include the word Aleph in any part of the PP transaction, PP will hold up the payment for a minimum of 24 hours, sometimes up to 5 days, and sometimes they will decline the transaction. They say it is for security reasons.
It is not due to the standard meaning of the word in the Hebrew alphabet, but rather due to the word also being the name of a Japanese doomsday cult. Quite a stretch on the part of PP, in my opinion.
Anyway, to save yourself headaches, do not use the word Aleph in PP transactions.

Yup, first time I every had a problem with a PP transaction is because I included “Aleph” in the message. I questioned PP about this and they gave me the stock corporate answer without actually answering my question.
Wonder if it is also then the word Pass. I sold an XA25 amp last year and PP held the money for 28 days.
That explains the PayPal hassle of my recent aleph classic group buy. It all worked out in the end, but not without a number a folks having to work with PayPal to clear things up.

In todays woke logic there will be at least 1 of the cult members offended that amplifiers exist with their cults name on it.
Cultural appropriation!

And I thought I was already in an Aleph cult…
Maybe we need to call it a cult classic now.
I was also caught in the PP Aleph net.
