Hey Gang,
Today MMOBugs PayPal account was "permanently limited" by PayPal for "the sale of items that infringe or violate any copyright, trademark, right of publicity or privacy or any other proprietary right under laws of any jurisdictions".
If you have recurring billing setup with PayPal you wont be charged again. PayPal can't be used as a payment option for MMOBugs any longer either.
For the past three months quite a few people in the EQ community have had the same thing happen to their PayPal accounts
One of them tried to fight it, and this is the information they got from PayPal.
MMOBugs has been using the same PayPal account since 2005. It's sad to see it go. It's really not a happy outcome.

For what reasons did PayPal place a permanent limitation on the account?
A limitation was placed on this account as a review of the customer's account activity shows that his sales activity was encouraging illegal activity as he is selling licensed products on his website. They are selling Krono for the game Everquest, which are in-game assets which can be redeemed to receive 30 days of All Access membership time.
They are sold in the marketplace for real money only, or they may be purchased from other players via the broker or private trade for in-game currency. Players may not, however, sell Krono to each other for real world money.
On what basis was this decision made (referring to specific section of the User Agreement).
Please see following excerpt from our acceptable use policy: You may not use the PayPal service for activities that: 2. (d) items that encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activity.
