I wanted to sell sensitive data on ebay like mailchimp lists etc but people were saying that PayPal has blocked their accounts for illegal activity - it can't be true!
I guess the law has changed or something because it's possible on eBay to sell items like databases full of personal data and pay through PayPal.
I'm glad that was not true!

Hi FWand,
Thanks for reaching out to us in regards to this.
From what I understand, I would think that database lists could be sold once the information is obtained with the persons permission and there wasn't any sensitive information (card number, bank account number etc) included on the list.
If the information was to include any sensitive information or was fraudulently obtained, then this would not be permitted to be sold through PayPal.
I hope this helps,
David.

Hello David,
You can see exactly what is listed here:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161670719983
Description doesn't say anything about information was obtained with the persons permission etc
Do you think would be possible to ask 14.5 K or more people to give the permission?
At least 99% would not agree 🙂
YOU ARE NOT RIGHT DAVID SAYING

Bulk email lists, including:
Opt-in lists
Information on how to obtain bulk email lists
Corporate email lists
Private email lists
The "good" thing is that PP / eBay doesn't check what's inside?

1. Why use paypal for an item that is collected?? Ebay allows you to put cash on collection on auctions where you are selling that type of item. That way you would have had instant cash in hand and no paypal fee.
2. Feedback does not count towards payment release.
3. Info in the link but make sure you scroll right to the bottom of the page or you will miss the release criteria times.
