What is PayPal's Infringement Report process?

Our  Infringement Report  (IR) allows rights owners to identify potentially infringing activity taking place in association with a PayPal account. This process can be used to report infringement on websites or other forums offering goods or services through PayPal. 

PayPal also allows third parties to develop applications utilizing our services. For infringement associated with these applications, rights owners should first contact the developer who created and maintains the application in order to address the matter. If this does not resolve the issue, rights owners can use the IR process to report the infringement to PayPal.
