Exactly, because anything identifiable in any context to you gets you these penalties, even when not using PayPal.
I was gonna disagree with you on this and say, based on the line, close to the beginning, in their AUP..."Prohibited Activities - You may not use the PayPal service for activities that...", it's only PayPal. But then I followed a link in their AUP to their “Restricted Activities and Holds” section of the PayPal User Agreement that says...
"In connection with your use of our websites, your PayPal account, the PayPal services, or in the course of your interactions with PayPal, other PayPal customers, or third parties, you must not:"
"Breach this user agreement, the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy, the Commercial Entity Agreements (if they apply to you), the PayPal Balance Terms and Conditions (if it applies to you), or any other agreement between you and PayPal..."
I think they CAN stalk and penalize you. No doubt, they can search for "unacceptable use" PRIOR to November 3rd. Gonna have to drop PayPal.
