Our petition and social media campaign went very far in raising awareness of an exploitable loop-hole in PayPal's policies.
There was a small update to policy wording a few months ago, but I didn't feel it went far enough with the wording to protect online entertainers who accept tips/donations from fraudulent charge-backs and outrageous fees by PayPal. We continued our campaign.
Today, however, a new update has been released which, in my opinion, now better protects (written policy wise) anyone who accepts tips/donations through PayPal. The policy now includes wording for donations and how Buyers and Sellers are not protected with PayPal's Protection programs (charge-backs).
I feel that our voice was heard and thank you for helping this petition to reach a successful conclusion. If you signed, tweeted or talked about this topic in a live or written forum, thank you.
I have linked the updated policy below for you. Note that the changes are not to take effect until November 19, 2016.
Thanks again.
