> They are banning the sale of non-physical items

Can you link me to the seller policy? I have an app I'd like to sell (no bitcoin involved - except maybe taking it...maybe), and I've been wondering about the seller policy, but couldn't find it.

There's no ban on selling non-physical items. They have a very small list of prohibited services which includes currency exchange:

You are correct. By non-physical item, I could only think of a Bitcoin related currency exchange for USD or any other fiat currency.

Unless, can you think of a Bitcoin related non-physical item that is NOT a currency exchange?

An ebook about Bitcoin. (I would consider a digital download to be non-physical)

Good one timv. I wonder what Paypal would do with Bitcoin ebooks.
