(I already posted my response on another thread, but I want to make sure this question gets answered, so I'm quoting myself here as well.) https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/My-Feedback-for-PayPal/Changes-to-The-User-Agreement/m-p/967614#...

 

I'm also really wondering what exactly this change means. I think it's saying that Paypal owns content uploaded directly to the website, so for example, I have a business logo on my invoices that is uploaded here, and they will owns the rights to that logo. However, I'm worried that this vague paragraph means more than I understand, and is applying to the very content I'm selling.

 

I doubt that the latter is the case, since Paypal is linked to sites like Steam, and I really don't think Steam would allow Paypal the rights to all the video games they sell, but I'd really feel reassured if I understood this more clearly.
