Intellectual Property
We are adding a new paragraph to section 1.3., which outlines the licence and rights that you give to us and to the PayPal Group (see paragraph 12 below for the definition of “PayPal Group”) to use content that you post for publication using the Services. A similar paragraph features in the Privacy Policy, which is removed by the addition of this paragraph to the User Agreement. The new paragraph at section 1.3 reads as follows:
“When providing us with content or posting content (in each case for publication, whether on- or off-line) using the Services, you grant the PayPal Group a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple tiers) right to exercise any and all copyright, publicity, trademarks, database rights and intellectual property rights you have in the content, in any media known now or in the future. Further, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, you waive your moral rights and promise not to assert such rights against the PayPal Group, its sublicensees or assignees. You represent and warrant that none of the following infringe any intellectual property right: your provision of content to us, your posting of content using the Services, and the PayPal Group’s use of such content (including of works derived from it) in connection with the Services.”

I’m switching to Google Wallet or something else. Paypal lost me.Wow lost me too, PayPal. That’s seriously uncool.
oh fuck this im switching, hell to the fucking no.
becausedragonage You wanna link to that post that explains this?
I’ve commented on this post before but I’ll do it again.
It is most definitely NOT saying saying what the OP is claiming. The specific language is:
“When providing us with content or posting content (in each case for publication, whether on- or off-line) using the Services…”
There is no point in a Paypal transaction regarding a commission where the artist either provides Paypal with the content or posts the content using Paypal services.
None.
That’s generally done by email or mail. The only thing exchanged in a Paypal transaction using their services is payment.
Why do they have that clause? From what I’ve read it’s because they may be starting a storefront service where the ‘stores’ would be uploading such content to the Paypal site for their storefront theme. There have been legal issues with other services regarding who then owns the themes, logos, art and this is Paypal attempting to avoid that. That is it.
Claiming the language means they have a right to any content produced by an artist who uses their service is like claiming Visa has a right to anything you buy with their credit card. It’s bizarre and it would be illegal for both Visa and Paypal to do that.
The internet loses its fucking mind every time a TOS updates to reflect requiring permissions to display content users post. Tumblr, pinterest, deviant art, etc.
Warning: Paypal new User Agreement changes, “All Your Stuff Belongs To Us”
