Either people paying YOU (membership sites) OR you paying others. They can and WILL shut you down – both ways – if they decide too.
Don’t pay for things with paypal unless you have no other choice. PayPal CAN just willy nilly reverse transactions you’ve paid to someone on “your behalf”.

BIG BOLD IMPORTANT STUFF– Reread #4 and 5 AGAIN. Let me reemphasize – paypal can just reverse transactions YOU’VE made to someone if they decide to lock you up. Yes, it happened to me during the second paypal fiasco.
