Checkered Flag in Hand

Going to try to get the online ticket sales for the Cindy McMasters Benefit race in February going by the end of the month.
I have heard that if any mention of a raffle shows up on PayPal it shuts your account down. So any ideas on what to call it instead of a raffle? Would race prizes work?
Thanks,
Bill

Just instruct everyone to not put any sort of comments. Then confirm back to the email address associated with the PayPal account through normal email. Thats what I did for the Wounded Warrior raffles, never had an issue. If anyone wants to make sure you got payment, have them PM either through Slotblog or Facebook.

As a fundraiser? I know you can receive donations in PayPal. I've done it to raise money to pay the fees for a forum I used to own.

From the PayPal website, under prohibited gambling activities:
Lottery tickets –Include the purchase or sale of any opportunity to participate in a raffle, drawing, sweepstake, pool, or any other form of game or contest involving the distribution of prizes or monetary compensation.
That's why I always stipulated that no comments be added, and any needed communication be done through PM or email. If they shut you down, you're done.

Since everyone knows it's a Cindy McMasters benefit "race" just have everyone send in their "entry fee" and you'll get your name thrown in for a door prize even if you don't show up for the race.

I don't always go the extra mile, but when I do it's because I missed my exit.
All my life I've strived to keep from becoming a millionaire, so far I've succeeded.

No matter how big of a hammer you use, you can't pound common sense into stupid people, believe me, I've tried.

This is a real concern.
Some years ago, Slotblog's PayPal account got locked for this very reason and I played hell getting it reopened.

Never forget that first place goes to the racer with the MOST laps, not the racer with the FASTEST lap

With the number of words that could cause a red flag with PayPal I will request any body that would like to buy tickets via PayPal pm or message me first, then I can give specific instructions on how to do it so there is no chance for screw ups.
Some people have problems following directions in a post no matter how clear you make it. Then all other conversations can be handled via e-mail rather than through PayPal.
