From 1st July 2015, PayPal’s new terms of service come into play.
As part of its new terms of service, you are automatically agreeing to receive robotic calls from PayPal and its partners regarding anything they like!
If you complain, PayPal will show you how to close your account.
I hope there is enough uproar to make PayPal change its mind. Disgraceful!
Below is the single page advert PayPal placed in the New York Times.
It makes reference to the nude iCloud photos and Apple’s lack of security. Perhaps PayPal needs to be reminded of the huge eBay hack that was kept quiet for ages. eBay and PayPal are owned by the same people.
Meanwhile American Banks are fighting already to gain Apple Pay customers.
“It’s a healthy competition,” JPMorgan Chase marketing chief Kristin Lemkau told the Financial Times. JPMorgan Chase launched Apple Pay-centered marketing campaigns on the same day as the service’s unveiling, and similar campaigns from Apple’s other partner banks quickly followed.”
So in my mind PayPal should be extremely worried!

PayPal responds to Apple’s new Apple Pay offering.
” “Nobody can dispute Apple’s strong track record, but payments is a difficult area,” he said. “It’s much more difficult to do payments than to keep a live stream working!”
Seems rather blase response and a company nervous of Apple’s solution. In any event competition is healthy.
