CNET: PayPal to levy fines for gambling, porn

PayPal will enforce its morals clauses with extra fines and fees starting September 24. The terms of service have long banned the purchase of adult content, shady prescription drugs dealings and gambling services, and the e-commerce payment firm owned by eBay said it will begin to debit account owners bank accounts directly for as much as $500 per violation. The policy enforcement may not have much to do with concern for the moral hygiene of PayPal's customers. A very high percentage of customer service and legal issues come from this small minority of purchases.
