PayPal banning file-hosting services[edit]

http://torrentfreak.com/paypal-bans-major-file-hosting-services-over-piracy-concerns-120710/

This should be added under http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PayPal#Criticism_and_limitations

This article needs to be expanded greatly because PayPal is suffering major issues at the moment. --Massintel (talk) 02:37, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

PayPal Limitation Criticism[edit]

This section is so ungrammatical as to be almost incomprehensible. 212.159.59.5 (talk) 10:23, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

MyCash Reloadable Card Embezzlement — section removed[edit]

Hi All. I've just reverted a blog added as a second source by WP:SPA 73.210.15.131, which I now see had been previously added by apparent WP:SPA 50.179.94.19 on 3 August 2016, which was quickly reverted. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PayPal&diff=next&oldid=732768494

However, I then saw that 50.179.94.19 had previously added that entire section and its sole source, a first-person blog, as "MyCash Reloadable Card Embezzlement" on 18 May 2016, which I have just now removed. (No idea why both of these links appear to reach the exact same edit... https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PayPal&diff=720810930&oldid=720516594 or https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PayPal&diff=prev&oldid=720810930)

I can't imagine how the section survived this long, being entirely based on a singular, first-person account written in a blog. (The second source, also added and reverted at least twice, noted above, proved to be just another production of the same blog author.) I hope someone will pursue this information further, with WP:RS, should including it prove valid, because figuring it out already took me ages. AHampton (talk) 22:54, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
