Just got a really long email from PayPal informing me of some class action settlement for anyone who opened a PayPal account between Oct '99 and Jan '04.

Anyone else get this? eek:

does this mean you get money or something.

Theres something on hardocp frontpage about it in yesterdays news section, think if you signed up before a certain date they have to pay you back a certain cash amount or some shit.

Yeah, apparently someone's suing PayPal on behalf of all those users. It looks legit, but you never can tell.

[quote:d08c7]The lawsuit alleges that PayPal violated the federal Electronic Fund Transfer Act ("EFTA"), 15 U.S.C. §§ 1693 et seq., including provisions requiring PayPal to supply customers with information about dispute resolution procedures and to follow certain procedures when investigating complaints of unauthorized or incorrect electronic fund transfers. For example, the lawsuit claims that PayPal did not provide account statements in the manner required by the EFTA. The lawsuit further alleges that PayPal has placed inappropriate restrictions or other limits on customers' accounts and engaged in other improper practices.[/quote:d08c7]

i got it too, it is legit, you just have to fill out all the forms... its a 9.2 million dollar settlement, each person in the class will get paid out, but likely there will be several million in the class, so the chance of big bucks is slim, but i'm going to do it... unless it fucks you over with PayPal in the future... maybe i'll get my lawyer to look at it...
