Judge rejects PayPal arbitration

[darnell]

Well this proves (http://news.com.com/2100-1017-957753.html) that just because you put something in a EULA it does not make it enforcable.

A judge has rejected PayPal's attempts to force upset customer's issues into arbitration instead of a court trial.

So much for PayPal's thoughts that their EULA protected them from a lawsuit :p .

The above are mainly all redundant. CNet didn't mention this, though:

According to the San Francisco Chronicle there are approx. 100,000 complaints outstanding at PayPal. In many instances disputes can run on for months leaving people frustrated and out of pocket as they are unable to access their accounts.


...while PayPal has been pocketing the interest.
