You cannot legally do a raffle to sell something.
You can only legally do it if 100% of proceeds... Literally every penny... Goes to charity
This. Paypal contacted me when I did the LCEF bike raffle and I had lengthy conversations with them to unfreeze my account. it was ( obviously--it went ahead ) all fine in the end, but a ballache nonetheless.

Yes.

@JamesNQ can you confirm that the entire proceeds are going to charity, otherwise this conversation is going to be deleted imminently and you had best refund all PayPal transactions to date.
