Just wondering if anyone knows about the Paypal TOS/Pricacy agreements? Are we allowed to publicly post someone's (name, paypal transaction id) on a public forum/website without the other users consent?
I see anything but for your own protection I wouldn't post the full transaction ID. You don't know what a nogoodnik could do with that info. Depends on how you use the info - but I'd be careful about criminal liability - you can't post someone elses bank statement online.
What would possess you to do something like that? That is private financial information and could lead to you getting in some hot water criminally and civilly should that persons account become hacked. You may also want to read up on the Financial Privacy Act. I believe this falls somewhere in line with that. However, I do not have any case law. But, their account gets hacked, then someone has access to the bank account/credit card numbers. So I would advise against it.
Well, I can't see how someone's full name, and a paypal transaction ID for a sale, which they had with you would get them hacked? So if it was posted here on a site, would it be legal? Let's say someone here scammed me. Would posting their full name, email and paypal transaction id of the sale we had be legal? Or is that breaking Paypal TOS somewhere?
3 posts, now 4, saying that you shouldn't do it and you are still looking for someone to tell you that its okay?? Don't do it, what possible good could it do you??
I see people posting their transaction numbers all the time. its just a paypal confirmation that a transaction took place..but regardless, if i posted info that is supposed to be private, and as a result something happened to you because of what i posted, then I could be held liable... its just common sense...
Are you trying to get back at somebody? Or are you just wondering what you should do if you get scammed? I mean if your worried about getting scammed and you want to warn others I still wouldn't post the information. There are other ways that you can go about the matter, even a few where you can get your money back. If you had to ask in the first place than I think it's not a good idea to post the information.
I'm pretty sure it is against PayPal's ToS. If not, they would probably add it really quick if they found out your asking this kind of question. Use your common sense. But, common sense isn't that common. I understand you may be trying to get back at someone. But, do that other ways. You can't see how posting a transaction ID and a full name could get them hacked? It is completely possible, and quite easy to do once you receive this information. Especially when you know the email address to go with it. Then you just need a little bit of time and BAM, hack complete. Quit trying to get people to agree with you. No one will.
I would expect it to be somewhere in paypals tos as it is personal info and they have got responsibility to keep all the personal data secure and not to be published without the users consent.
