I got an email back that said "Thank you for contacting PayPal regarding the account you would like to create to receive donations for your forum. I appreciate the opportunity to assist you with your questions. I have read your enquiry and would like to inform you that first of all you would need to clarify if your activity is not prohibited on PayPal."

I checked the forums that Id listed in my email a month later and they still had active Paypal processing.

Even when notified with examples of infringing websites using their services, they ignore it.

If you read my thread about LeaseWeb; the child pornography we found on their servers can be paid for with PayPal, Visa and MasterCard as well. I notified MasterCard Holland about this 2 weeks ago but they didn't do a thing.
