I mentioned this story to my wife and - surprisingly - she quite forcefully blew it off as hot air. She's dealt very heavily with Paypal's support dept over the last few months, in the course of her work with a nonprofit, and not only did she find them very pleasant to deal with, she was able to deal with a regional support manager directly to answer the question as to whether or not PayPal requires tax return information from nonprofits. (The answer, fwiw, is no.)
Paypal nonprofit accounts require 503c status, and they used to not ask for verification on this fact, but now they do. From what I understand presently - and IANAL, nor an accountant or a CPA, and am not that great at taxes - if the account was configured as a nonprofit, and is not owned by a 503c, then what PayPal has done is no different than what any other bank in the US would do. ... There is some organization behind foobar2000, right? This post has been edited by Axon: Jan 3 2010, 05:50 |

There is some organization behind foobar2000, right? All I can say is I don't trust PayPal from my dealings with them. They are arrogant and make no attempt to read emails. It seems if you don't fit into one of their problems, they don't want to hear, and they will not respond to any other queries. Just do a google search on paypal problems: Results 1 - 10 of about 62,800,000 for paypal problems. (0.31 seconds) I'm not alone. Tom C -------------------- Tom
