Default The FSA regulations/principles paypal must abide by

i couldnt find this anywhere else so i have done a bit of research and i wanted to post this useful bit of info.

below are all the fsa regulatory principles paypal must abide by. these are very useful to drop when your making a complaint:

The FSA Principles

1 Integrity

A firm must conduct its business with integrity.

2 Skill, care and diligence

A firm must conduct its business with due skill, care and diligence.

3 Management and control

A firm must take reasonable care to organise and control its affairs responsibly and effectively, with adequate risk management systems.

4 Financial prudence

A firm must maintain adequate financial resources.

5 Market conduct

A firm must observe proper standards of market conduct.

6 Customers' interests

A firm must pay due regard to the interests of its customers and treat them fairly.

7 Communications with clients

A firm must pay due regard to the information needs of its clients, and communicate information to them in a way which is clear, fair and not misleading.

8 Conflicts of interest

A firm must manage conflicts of interest fairly, both between itself and its customers and between a customer and another client.

9 Customers: relationships of trust

A firm must take reasonable care to ensure the suitability of its advice and discretionary decisions for any customer who is entitled to rely upon its judgment.

10 Clients' assets

A firm must arrange adequate protection for clients' assets when it is responsible for them.

11 Relations with regulators

A firm must deal with its regulators in an open and cooperative way, and must disclose to the FSA appropriately anything relating to the firm of which the FSA would reasonably expect notice.

PayPal is not regulated by the FSA. Much like they're not regulated by the SEC in the US. PayPal is unregulated, however you can raise a complaint against them with the Financial Ombudsman Service and it will cost PayPal 300 if they are to represent.

Well lets hope more UK PP users will see this and start filing complaints costing $300 each...

I spoke to the fsa today and they informed me that paypal must abide by these principles. So i thought i would pass them on.

I would love to cost paypal £300 in fact i think we all should do it!
