Seriously? That's freaking crazy considering how common it is for Ebay real estate auctions to ask for payment via paypal. Is it just in regards to selling or did it include renting?
heres what I had to deal with
Hello Ronald J Parise,
We have reviewed your PayPal account and found that you operate as a seller of timeshares. Using PayPal to accept payments for real property,
including raffles/lotteries, reverse auctions, and timeshare sales violates
our Acceptable Use Policy. To continue using your PayPal account, we need
you to provide us with a signed and notarized affidavit stating that you
understand and will comply with our policies.
Keep in mind that we have placed a limitation on your PayPal account and
this limitation will remain until we receive and review this information.
Below, please find suggested language for the requested affidavit. Please
ensure the affidavit is signed and notarized.
I, the undersigned, on behalf of [Company name], do affirm that we
understand and agree to comply with PayPal's policy regarding the use of
PayPal accounts for the sale of real property. We understand that PayPal
cannot be used for the sale of real property, which includes the direct
sale of property or variations on this model such as raffles or lotteries,
reverse auctions, and timeshare sales. We further affirm that we understand
that any detected violation of the policy may result in the immediate
closure of the PayPal account or restriction of access to the PayPal
account.
We also ask that you provide us with:
• A list of all URLs or websites that will be used to receive payments.
• The type of payments you will send and receive; including the type of
goods/services you will accept payments for.
Please log in to your account and go to the Resolution Center to find out
what you need to do.
Additionally, in the future, if we find that your PayPal account is being
used for the sale of real property, PayPal will sever its business
relationship with you.
We look forward to hearing from you and thank you for choosing PayPal as
your business partner.
Sincerely,
Koffi
PayPal Compliance Department
