- dustcoin 13y agoNeither the bitcointalk poster nor Paypal's CEO were lying, although the poster's conclusion is now proven to be incorrect. The OP was selling casascius coins, which contain bitcoin private keys (digital currency) and are therefore against the terms of service. The CS rep the OP talked to incorrectly communicated that ALL bitcoin related items were banned. Later Paypal and their CEO issued a statement clarifying that only digital currencies themselves were banned.
- citricsquid 13y agoI doubt they're lying, what they are doing is mislabelling their experience as representative. Low level PayPal employees have previously made mistakes that has resulted in people who are selling mining equipment finding their accounts suspended, however these are misinterpretations of the rules by the lowest level of PayPal employees. The David Marcus statement was in response to a story (almost identical to the story of the bitcointalk poster) from a couple of weeks ago. http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1v12p4/well_done_paypal_well_done_jerks/ http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1v12p4/well_done_pa... http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1v3qhw/update_well_done_paypal_well_done_jerks/ http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1v3qhw/update_well_...
- Grue3 13y agoYou really think somebody would do that? Go on the Internet and tell lies? Seriously, it's an anonymous Internet forum. Anything without proof should be assumed as false.
