What is PayPal’s policy on the popular $7.00 products being offered in the Internet Marketing community?
Typically a report is made on a niche subject such as search engine or for a software product like Joel Comm’s MyContactStation.
Customers who make a purchase of the $7.00 product are given the right to promote the product themselves and receive 100% commissions paid directly into their PayPal account.
This unique and clever script used to instantly grant customers their own money making products after purchase is linked to one of their PayPal emails. TAll you need to do is replace the email link with your own PayPal email address and viola you’re good to go.
No physical products or inventory to store!
No time spent to create your own products!
No time waiting to get paid!
You get an instant product to promote to your web site visitors and mailing list without the headaches of hosting files on your own server!!
So what about those people who have had their PayPal accounts CLOSED?
According to an email I sent to PayPal they found that the $7.00 100% commission system to be acceptable. I used the example of a software product MyContactStation.
Their answer was…
It is not MLM and does not breach any of the policies in the user agreement.
Hmm, so why have several people reported that their accounts were suddenly closed.
Somewhere the lines of communication and interpretation are not working.
It leads me to the conclusion that if you’re using PayPal to promote anything that isn’t a straight forward and conventional single tier affiliate program whereby the merchant pays you a cut of a referring sale after they have processed the customer’s payment. In other words affiliates have to wait before receving commission payments. You should contact PayPal and make sure you get their approval in writing beforehand.
That way you have evidence that you were given authorization to use PayPal for these tranascations.
I’m not sure how some of you got around to getting your accounts reinstated. But as I understand it. You have to first removal all PayPal payment buttons from your web site and then PayPal will confirm this by checking your site. You will later receive an email with a reminder that you should not use your PayPal account in this manner and that you may again be subject to account closure of risk the possibility of forfeiting your account.
Have you been a victim of account closure because you used the $7.00 script to accept instant 100% commissions?
