Not stating my opinion about PayPal one way or the other, what if.......
- you didn't fill out all the "optional" information on the request money, send money forms? The "optional information is "for an auction" button, auction number, auction name etc.... if the buyer merely wrote a message "here's the money I owe you" and the seller wrote back "thanks".
- you didn't automatically or manually insert the PayPal banner into your auctions.
If the minimal amount of information was included on the transactions
- E-mail address
- Amount owed/sent
Would it not be a person to person transfer?
By putting the optional information, is it somehow easy to track if someone is using the service for Business purposes.
Just pondering. Ethics might come into play, but as previously stated, I do not want to comment on the PayPal incident.
