While reading another forum I found this bit and had a bit of a chuckle:
"[My brother] claims PP is homophobic. ROFL
He and a buddy drove from Missouri to the Indianapolis 500. my brother's share of the hotel was $107.45, so he decided upon his return to send it via paypal to friend.
When sending money, you have the option to attach a string of characters in the "Notes" section. I mean come on, they KNOW that someone is going to write something stupid in that section. He thought it would be funny to add a comment. Being a smartass and not thinking about the consequences, he attached the following message: "Anal Intercourse Payment"
In response to his absolutely hilarious comment (neither one being gay), his friends' account was blocked from usage (seriously!!!!), and has been blocked ever since. Mind you, this has been over two years ago. The friends' account is still locked out, and they stopped responding to his inquiries to reinstate his account. They took the money from my brother's account stating, "suspicious activity" and it is now in the void of the black hole paypal. Neither party ever got back the money."
Sounds like Paypal really does scrutinize things. Thank goodness I never put anything like "Payment for 1 kilo of smack" or anything goofy like that otherwise Sgt. Stadanko would be knocking at my door. Then again Paypal has its fair share of critics even since the acquisition of Paypal by eBay.
