Just the way it is...

Are you a Paypal user? I am and just received Paypal’s Notice of Policy Updates few hours back. I don’t really do well with a long read especially when it says something like: Legal Agreements, Terms of Use, Terms and Conditions. They usually come with a very long tale and aren’t they just too boring to read? Most probably yes, but sometimes we just have to be as abiding being a user to any online services (especially when it is free) because it is where sometimes we get caught troubling ourselves with questions that are actually already been answered.

So if you haven’t checked it yet, you can view this Policy Update by logging in to your Paypal account. Once logged in, look at the Notification section on the top right side of the page for the latest Policy Update.

Meanwhile, you may wish to know from this post what services are available for you. Please scroll down.
