We have experienced the most absolute moronic policy issue last 2 days regarding selling any pre 1951 Cuban League Baseball Cards, graded or ungraded. Now paypal will threaten to restrict and possibly limit your account if you have any mention of Cuba, or Cuban in your e bay listing or paypal HTMK description box..we found this out very recently without warning or knowledge, they told us to PULL listings off e bay but since e bay accepts these cards and it was less than 12 hours left, e bay refused to cancel. We have spent over 7 hours on phone talking to mostly inept people, only one very sharp paypal supervisor finally explained this....both paypal and e bay refused to resolve this as it is impossible for even them to contact paypal compliance division. They stated we have to reject any paypal payments and return them to buyer or risk further problems. This is so absurd as this is pre 1958, paypal supervisor stated this is a FEDERAL MANDATE to them and gave some federal agency as the party that requires paypal's crackdown without any knowledge of when item was produced. It even applies that if you sell an auto graphed pictured of Cuba Gooding Jr or Mark Cuban, or Cuban Missile Crisis book, they will be flagged also as the settings they use flagged and outlaw key words...welcome to 2015. They make you promise never to sell these items again and its still not totally clear as e bay still allows these cards to be sold and still requires we accept electronic method of payment (paypal) with NO warning about this policy. What a horror!
