[Coco] Private: Re: Pop*Star Pilot available for pre-purchase

Yeah, things have been changing a little since they split from eBay.

From the user agreement..

"4. Receiving Money.
4.1 Receiving Personal Payments. If you are selling goods or services, you may not ask the buyer to send you a Personal Payment for the purchase. If you do so, PayPal may remove your ability to accept Personal Payments.”

I read that to mean it’s fine if they do so on their own, you just can’t ask them to.
