Thank you. I knew that PayPal was notorious for holding or delaying funds, but I didn't realize that they did so based on whether or not they thought your business met their moral standards.

Edit: and for the record, I can confirm that you literally did "call" all this.

It's not even as noble as failing to meet moral codes. It's more "do we think someone, for any reason could/has become upset with something tangentially related to your site and complains to us." Recently they shut down the account of someone who put up code that could be used as a torrent search engine on GitHub. He wasn't running a search enging, just facilitating it was enough for them to freeze him out.
