there ARE indeed a few innocent people that get their account frozen by mistake. However the fact is that most of the frozen accounts DID do something wrong.
This is not to knock paypal. they indeed can be good to work with. I have had 1000's of transactions with them. Our account is large enough we have had a business manager appointed for us to work with.

Nevertheless they froze my account over $1200 us when buying some furniture. Totally out of the blue. No notice, no phone call. Fortunately I found out before any serious problems arose but it could have been hugely embarrassing to us as a business.

What bothered me the most was the fact that everybody claimed somebody else was doing it. According to paypal mastercard initiated it. According to Mastercard paypal initiated it.

I would not keep any large amounts with them anymore.

If you're running a business make sure you have alternative payment methods that can replace them instantly.
