To me, this entire section should just be purged. The article should be about PayPal, not everything remotely related to PayPal. As it stands, the section comes accross as off-topic feel-good propaganda - trying to show indirect community involvement. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:58, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Why not just create a new article titled Entrepreneurship by former employees of paypal and make a note of it in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.32.31.254 (talk) 19:06, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. I purged that ridiculous unencyclopedic section. 71.34.146.193 (talk) 01:26, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

I recently tried to open an account, and noticed that the accounts are upheld against Singapore law. --Kebman (talk) 13:56, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

I went through the article and it mentions that Paypal is available in 190 countries. Googling it revealed that there are 194 countries in the world. In which four countries are Paypal's services not available? For the sake of completeness of the article, can these countries be listed in the main article with the reasons for the unavailability of the service, if any? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 450w (talk • contribs) 14:11, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

How exactly is PayPal available in China? It says that there are two kinds of accounts for .cn and .com, but there is not source cited for this? (92.243.8.186 (talk) 02:51, 12 January 2010 (UTC))

The section on the security key is self-contradictory. It describes the use of the key as two-factor authentication, meaning that logging in requires both something you know (the password) and something you have (the hardware security key). But then a couple of sentences later, the article says the security key is not required; the credit card number can be used instead. That's a helpful convenience, but it's no longer two-factor authentication. The credit card number is the same type of factor as the password -- something known. (Furthermore, it's not even a secret if it's ever been used to buy something.)

If that's really the way PayPal has implemented the process, the article should not call this scheme two-factor. Or at the least, there should be a big caveat. Spiel496 (talk) 21:21, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Would anyone mind if I expanded this? Since their takeover by eBay PayPal seems to have become the World's Least Contactable company. I have just spent a hour talking to a machine, then I sent an email with a straightforward technical support request and all I have recieved is two emails advising me to talk to the number with the machine on it. It's all very frustrating and I am seriously thinking of looking for an alternative. Other customers will do likewise.  SmokeyTheCat  •TALK• 10:20, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

The PayPal acceptable use policy has a series of boilerplate terms against "using the PayPal service for activities that ... relate to sales of items that "2 relate to sales of ...
