Intellectual Property
We are adding a new paragraph to Section 1.3 (Intellectual Property) for businesses that use PayPal. The new paragraph outlines the licence that you give to us and to the PayPal Group to use your business name, trademarks and logos for the purpose of displaying information about your business and its products and services. The new paragraph at section 1.3 reads as follows:
“You grant the PayPal Group the worldwide right to use and depict your business name, trademarks and logos on our website and in our mobile and web applications for the purpose of displaying information about your business and its products and services.”

Seller Protection Program
Section 14 is amended to clarify that PayPal Here transactions are no longer eligible for PayPal seller protection. Section 14 now reads as follows:
“14. PayPal seller protection.
PayPal Here transactions are not eligible for PayPal seller protection. Please also read section 4.3 (Risk of Reversals, Chargebacks and Claims) of the PayPal User Agreement to understand the risk of Chargebacks arising when you receive a payment.”
You might not be a business, you might not use PayPal Here, but there are so many interesting points in PayPal's policy!
This is the latest in what seems like an ongoing slow wave of anti-consumer decisions. Another one appears to be that if you say Paypal sucks, you may be in violation of one item on a 50 page agreement you didn't read: http://themerkle.com/paypal-new-policy- ... ome-users/
This is an important topic here because, although it doesn't prevent contributing to freeware developers who mostly use Paypal, it's getting harder and harder to support a transaction system with these kind of bad practices. I've been strongly opposed to Bitcoin for years but maybe it really is the lesser of two evils. In an effort to be constructive -- does anyone know of another service beyond that we could recommend to freeware developers?
