I've been flagged by Paypal for an unacceptable use of their services.
"Dec 12, 2009: We have recently reviewed your account and have noticed that you are selling items on your website that violate our Acceptable Use Policy. We value you as a member of our community and wish to continue our relationship, so we ask that you remove all items from your website that violate our Acceptable Use Policy. Please note that subsequent violations will result in the closure of your account. (Your case ID for this reason is PP-852-186-747.)" According to them, Paypal cannot be used for a sweepstakes "You may not use the PayPal service for activities that: violate any law, statute, ordinance or regulation involve the sales of products or services identified by government agencies to have a high likelihood of being fraudulent violate applicable laws or industry regulations regarding the sale of (a) tobacco products, or ((IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) prescription drugs and devices involve gambling, gaming and/or any other activity with an entry fee and a prize, including, but not limited to casino games, sports betting, horse or greyhound racing, lottery tickets, other ventures that facilitate gambling, games of skill (whether or not it is legally defined as a lottery) and sweepstakes unless the operator has obtained prior approval from PayPal and the operator and customers are located exclusively in jurisdictions where such activities are permitted by law." I have to do two things: 1) sign the affidavit saying I won't violate the policy anymore (but they will shut me down if I keep getting stuff) 2) stop posting the link to edwardblume@gmail.com immediately on the main post. They even gave me a link to the post showing where the Paypal email address is listed. Honestly, I can stand behind what we are doing, but I don't want the attention from Paypal or anyone else. Can we switch up to another account and handle things by PM (cloak it)? Maybe we should change it to something like, if you are interested PM RobW. The current balance is $1044.93. We are at 72% on the raffle. Thanks, Rob |

Here's where Paypal rejected my appeal because the original post still mentions "paypal". Notice how it even picks up Dr Evil....
Wow. I PM'd Dr Evil asking him to wipe the paypal info on the original post. Thanks, R Dear Rob Ways, We have reviewed your account and unfortunately, we will not be able to grant your appeal at this time. The original posting by user Dr Evil still states PayPal as a method of payment for the fundraiser. This will have to be removed before the limitation on your account can be removed. In order to comply with the Acceptable Use Policy and avoid the limitation of your account, you will need to: 1. Remove PayPal as a payment option, as well as all references to PayPal, including the PayPal logo and/or shopping cart, from your raffle(s), http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=102047; For more information about the status of your account, please log in to your PayPal account. We encourage you to login and return your account to good standing as soon as possible. Failure to respond by 12/17/2009 will result in the further escalation of this issue. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter. Please understand that this is a security measure meant to help protect you and your account. We apologize for any inconvenience. If you have any questions, please contact the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy Department at aup@paypal.com. Sincerely, Richard PayPal Acceptable Use Policy Department PayPal, an eBay Company Please do not reply to this email. This mailbox is not monitored and you will not receive a response.
