The likelihood is that Paypal would end up on the PL list, and probably only narrowly survive a HoS nomination.

One of the best posts I have read lately…

Question: Can you use the "Personal PayPal" option to pay someone that you consider a friend for a book?

 

Here are answers from two different PayPal Customer Solutions representatives.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I guess we can begin arguing definition of "friend" next.

Looks to me like Paypal is complicit in facilitating thievery from itself.

I'd be happy to be convinced otherwise, but I think that would take a direct explicit statement from PayPal that it's indeed OK for me to use Personal to buy goods from a friend. I don't think that statement will be coming.

i don't believe it. I suspect Swick works for PayPal and coerced a few reps to write those responses.

Not only is he a MOD on these boards. He also secretively works for PayPal.

Aaaaaaarrrrrrgggggggghhhh.....how many $$$ have I squandered by insisting that my "friends" pay me via regular PayPal, even when they offered to pay me via Personal. Why, o why? It helped me sleep at night...I thought I was doing the right thing....

 

Wait...what is the definition of "friend," anyway? Anyone who trusts me enough to pay me via Personal must be my friend, right?

 

 

The only thing that still bugs me about that PayPal response is this bit: "But in the long run if the seller is doing these frequently then his PayPal account will be having some issues." Why would he be having issues? Too many friends? What kind of issues?

Probably because if PP finds out a seller is abusing personal in this way, they will get shut down.

That's exactly how I understood it.

But, if it's permitted behavior, how do you abuse it? What does "frequently" even mean? When does abuse begin?

 

Why can't they just state a clear policy, and interpret it consistently? Surely there is someone who works at PayPal who can figure out how to do that...
