Apparently one can opt out of this new power play by PayPal, however, I have spent the last half hour of my time attempting to find out HOW, exactly, I can opt out..The method for opting out of this new policy (see below for policy) is conspicuously absent from this site. Do I really want an organization such as PayPal having access to any aspect of my money??? Someone do PLEASE enlighten me as to how to opt out of this. Thanks Amendment to the PayPal User Agreement and Privacy Policy Effective Date: Nov 01, 2012 Print Amendment to the PayPal User Agreement This update to the User Agreement effective November 1, 2012 contains changes that affect how claims you and PayPal have against each other are resolved (see Disputes with PayPal below). You will, with limited exception, be required to submit claims you have against PayPal to binding and final arbitration, unless you opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate (Section 14.3) by December 1, 2012. Unless you opt out: (1) you will only be permitted to pursue claims against PayPal on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action or proceeding and (2) you will only be permitted to seek relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) on an individual basis. See Disputes with PayPal below for more information.
