The website The Green Girl has a breakdown on the legal speak located in the TOS, but under PayPal’s own guidelines, a group can request to receive donations without a non-profit status “Donations not associated with a charity or nonprofit organization don’t need to meet these requirements, but all donations are subject to review.” The rep first stated that the problem stemmed from the use of the “Donate” button, which was reserved solely for non-profit organizations–an assertion that is not entirely correct according to PayPal’s own terms of service. A full transcript of the call can be found here. It is unclear whether or not the PayPal representative concluded the call by saying “bah humbug,” but it seems to be inferred.
“You can use the donate button to raise money for a sick cat, but not poor people.”Īssuming this was a situation that could be resolved simply enough, Winchell called PayPal and proceeded to have a bewildering conversation that ended with PayPal not only keeping the accounts frozen, but telling her she needed to return all the donated funds-minus both PayPal’s initial processing fees, as well as an additional processing fee on each of the returns.
