I’ve got this email few days ago from Matt Ng and because of my “bz” (got new blog incoming), I forgot to read the whole story at his blog. For your information, PayPal will shuts down any account that using 7 Dollar Scripts Salespage Copy….!
This is hot man. You must read this.
If you are using 7 Dollar Script and PayPal as your payment processor, please read this!
Recently, there was a stir in the internet marketing world over PayPal shutting down Jonathan Leger’s 7 Dollar Secrets site and several other $7 sites as well for ‘apparently” violating PayPal’s Acceptable Use Policy (AUP).
And since I know that many of you are either promoting them as well or are running your own $7 promotions and sites, I wanted to make sure that you were at least aware of the issues. I want to make sure that you knew what you can do to prevent your PayPal account from being shut down.
It’s NOT the 7 dollar script that PayPal is shutting down. It is the salespage copy that they find it’s against PayPal’s AUP. PayPal has been shutting these accounts down has NOTHING to do with the 100% instant commissions being paid to affiliates immediately (Although, it IS also a violation of their AUP to pay split commissions instantly to different affiliates or to split a payment between you and an affiliate but this is NOT THE CASE).
The “so called reason” why PayPal is shutting down these sites:
Basically, PayPal is saying that when you advertise the fact that you will pay 100% instant commissions within the sales letter, or as a bonus, that this is the equivalent of selling a business opportunity that is not tied to the sale of a product. According to PayPal, that violates their AUP. They have therefore shut down these various accounts and despite protests, are not willing to reopen them.Advice: When you are making a sale, that sale must be tied to some product , whether physical or digital or it is often prohibited by law (In the US at least and in many other countries as well). Did you know that you can’t charge someone a fee to get the right to sell your products and earn a commission? I did not know either as I just found that out. It’s for that reason that PayPal prohibits it as well. PayPal is suggesting that when the price of a product is so nominal, that listing the 100% instant commissions as a bonus is essentially amounting to selling the business opportunity itself.
