#2I cancelled my PayPal account after it was first announced a few weeks ago. This just makes me even more sure it wasn’t a ‘mistake’ on their part.

#3Is there any source for this other than Twitter? Is PayPal's TOS public? I was unable to find a reliable source for this in my Google search just now, the best I can find is https://mindmatters.ai/2022/10/paypal-can-still-fine-its-use...

Paypal's TOS mention $2,500 fine for "Acceptable use" violations but that has to do with sending money. NOT what you post online.

#5Remember the guy who collected tens of thousands of dollars for Katrina victims and PayPal just closed their account and stole all the money?
This POS company is a blight on humanity. Neither their executives nor the government officials that should be regulating them care, since they’re all laughing all the way to the bank.

#6This is relevant mainly to sellers, would that be correct?
Also, is this a “fee” that becomes due on some sort of bill that you can choose to ignore, or can/will they actually pull money from a linked account?

One could try typing "PayPal terms of service" into a search engine. If your experience mirrors mine, it will be the first link. Here, I'll save you some scrolling:

#8This does not seem to be accurate. I couldn't find anything in their TOS other than reasonable sounding restrictions on what can be sold. Sorry.

> including, but not limited to, internal administrative costs incurred by PayPal to monitor and track violations, damage to PayPal’s brand and reputation, and penalties imposed upon PayPal by its business partners resulting from a user’s violation - considering all currently existing circumstances, including the relationship of the sum to the range of harm to PayPal that reasonably could be anticipated because, due to the nature of the violations of the Acceptable Use Policy, actual damages would be impractical or extremely difficult to calculate. PayPal may deduct such damages directly from any existing balance in any PayPal account you control.
This is such a board statement than they an decide whatever they want and pull that fine.
And if we look for the Acceptable Use Policy, there is a line:
> (f) the promotion of hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory or the financial exploitation of a crime

#10Right now there's a private equity firm somewhere scheming to buy out PayPal and confiscate everyone's money
