If you are using paypal solely to pay..... this is a non-event and you will not notice any change in practice.

If you use paypal to GET paid/receive income then what you are doing is electing to get electronic notification of anything they typically would have sent by mail, such as a 1099..

They are stating they will charge you a fee for any PAPER copies of anything they do/could email you (with the exception of the 1099, which I bet is required by law to be sent free of charge).

Is this a problem for you?

However, if that note arrived in an unsolicited email, I'd not click on it. I go directly to the paypal site, sign into my account, and see if it was noted/requested in there.

It sounds phishy to me. I got no such notice, and most of my income comes through PayPal.

I just logged in to my PayPal account and got the same message. I don't think I've ever gotten a piece of paper from them in the first place. It looks to me like I'm just agreeing to them doing what they're already doing.

Paypal goes through recurrent bouts of grandeur/dementia... At one time, and strictly as a purchaser of goods, they refused to process anymore of my payments (via credit card) unless I gave them direct access to my bank account... Given that my businesses at that time carried a large average daily balance on deposit at the bank that was a non starter from the get go - and there were horror stories at that time period about PayPal sweeping cash out of accounts just based on someone whining about something... Yeah, I could have started a dummy account with a hundred bucks and given them access, but I have this mental defect called principles... Anyway, I told them not just no, but hell no... And BTW they can go whistle for the $4k-$6K I was pumping monthly through them for materials...
After a few weeks the drugs their doctor put their account supervisor on began to work and I got an email from her canceling the demand for bank access and asking to kiss and make up... So I did, but not to the volume of monies I was doing previously... Once burned, twice shy... Plus my main supplier agreed to carry a commercial 30 day account in place of PayPal to keep my business - they saved enough money on PayPal charges that they gave me a one percent credit on payments within the 30 days - a win-win for both of us..

Tom: wasn't it PayPal that screwed you over on some transaction that you sold to a bozo?

Yes and I have not used them since.

I'm simply ignoring the notice. and not agreeing with the policy.
