Paypal steals your money

[elevatoria]

Suffering and smiling people are dying on paypal because there is no alternative means; that means they are necessary evil.

Well, I have written before in this thread, but it was quite some time ago...
Now I'm over and done with them; Never PayPal again, even if it was at all possible, which it isn't.
They froze my account for a "routine credit check", when I had more money in it then I've ever had - about $ 30,000 USD in various currencies. (For the sole reason I had a major EUR payment I wanted to use PayPal funds for, since I would lose money withdrawing the funds, exchanging currencies, and then back again when making the payment.)
When I told them I needed that money, they closed the account permanently - because if I needed it, I wasn't credit worthy!
By that time there was over $40K in the account, since payments had continued to come in during the time they "investigated"...
The result; $40K frozen, which they eventually released months later, and $15K less in revenue per month, from lost customers who can't (or won't) use any other means of payment.
But I may never again open an account with them... Apparently, since having $40K frozen by them caused me inconveniences (but not enough to not fulfill my services to my customers, and I was able to pay all bills on time), then I'm not worthy of having an account with them... (Not that I ever would want to again.)
But I wonder how many small companies can have $40K frozen from months and not get cash flow issues?

But they love playing Gods...

Just curious, why would you want to recharge your Starbucks card? Why even have one? Are the latte's that expensive that you don't carry cash?
