New York AG Questions eBay, PayPal on Revised User Agreements

New York law enforcement officials have written to eBay Inc. and PayPal Inc. this week, saying the companies revised user policies "raise issues" under consumer protection laws. The updated user agreements would allow the e-commerce company and the payments division it's spinning off to contact users by phone for offers and promotions, to collect a debt, or to poll their opinions through surveys and questionnaires. eBay's updated user agreement is scheduled to take effect on Monday and PayPal's will become effective on July 1.
