PAYPAL IS THE DEVIL HIMSELF (Not Really)
14 years ago
So a ton of hub-bub has been going on around here about Paypal and banning accounts and such.
First:
OH NOES, PAYPAL IS FREEZING MY ACCOUNT BECAUSE I DRAW PORN. HOW DARE THEY
Everyone who signs up for Paypal accepts their Terms of Service. Part of this term of service is that Paypal is not to be used for any adult activities. This includes, commissions, sites, stores, auctions, etc etc etc. By accepting this contract you have told paypal that you won't be using it for those activities. After this using paypal to conduct said activities is a breach of the contract you agreed to.. and they are 100% within their right to freeze your account.
PAYPAL IS STILL EVIL, LETS DO THIS TO BYPASS THEM.
So you decided that breaching a contract is still for you and you don't want to let paypal know. Stealth is the right way to go correct?
WRONG... guess what. Paypal might not just freeze your account. They might just delete it and take all your money. You could try and sue them for it.. you'll get to court. Paypal will trot out the contract you accepted saying that you agreed not to do it and the judge laughs you out of court. Yes, laughs for you will be a moron.
PAYPAL IS MAKING THIS GROUP REFUND ALL DONATIONS AND KEEPING THE FEES. HOW DARE THEY!
Once again, terms of service lovelies and this one is even worse. Parading yourself around taking donations and pretending to be a non-profit is a CRIME. There are very strict rules and guidelines you need to follow to ensure you are either a charity or a non-profit or both. These rules are put in place to prevent people from scamming YOU out of your hard earned money. Paypal is following the law and their terms of service. The fees they are keeping are a small price to pay for not having your account locked for trying to defraud them (Yes it is fraud. Anything you lie to someone or something for your own or someone elses financial gain is fraud.) IF you don't like it.. go change it. Go start a petition, get the government to change the laws regarding non-profits and charities. Just don't complain when companies like GE and AIG get tax-exempt status because you wanted Paypal to bow to your every whim.
That's it for now from me.. I will... think of more probably. You may feel free to post your arguments below here but I'll tell you now. If you wanna bawl about how unfair paypal is.. go walk off a cliff.
