PayPal Punishes Bad Guys

PayPal used to allow online gambling, but changed their policy after they were acquired by eBay. If you use PayPal's services for gambling, adult content, or buying/selling prescription drugs from noncertified sellers, you're in violation of PayPal's User Agreement. In September 2004, PayPal announced that it would start fining users up to $500 for violation of the Agreement. Not only that, PayPal may take legal action in addition to levying the fines. If you engage in any of these activities, stop using PayPal unless you want to start paying hefty fines.
