I thought that my account become a victim of PayPal "skilled professionals":
But I was wrong. My PayPal account is ok. However the PayPal AI (SkyNet???) has decided to block my outgoing payments that >$10 (any incoming payments are ok with them) w/o any reason. At least this is that their "support professionals" told me. They say everything is ok and they have no idea why their AI do this. Furthermore, they
can not control it 
So they just gave me a bunch of useless advices to deceive their SkyNet prototype. Here is a quote (the original spelling is retained):
Quote:
Dear %username%,
Thank you for contacting PayPal regarding the payment you wish to complete.
Mr. %username%, I have reviewed your PayPal account and can see that your payment of $xx USD has been stopped by our internal security system.
To provide one of the safest online payment methods PayPal reviews every payment before it's approved. Occasionally, we may block the use of a particular card or your balance if there may be a higher-than-normal level of risk associated with the transaction.
When a payment is blocked, this is not a reflection of you or your account activities. Our internal security system is an automated system which reviews all of the details of every payment that is made through PayPal. It has been designed to recognise patterns that could result in buyer complaints, unauthorised claims or chargebacks. This is similar to the way your bank or credit card issuer approves transactions.
For fraud prevention reasons, I cannot see what aspect of this payment has caused our internal security system to intervene. Neither can I override or manually change the security settings to allow your payment to go through.
I can, however, give you advice on the steps you can take to reduce the chances that our internal security system will block any future payments.
Here are some things that you can do that may help:
Clear your cache and cookies or try a different web browser
Attempt to make the payment from a different card
Attempt to make the payment at a different time
Ensure that you are making your payment from your country of residence. If possible attempt to complete the payment from your home computer or the computer you most frequently use to access your PayPal account.
We regret any inconvenience this may have caused and we advise that you contact your seller and inform them why the payment has not been completed yet. If the seller accepts payments through PayPal they will be familiar with your situation.

WTF was that?
I always knew that the US-based online financial companies are over bureaucratic and not so professional (there is no even closer comparison with professional ones like webmoney or yandex money) but I never though they can be that low.
The one must be a real masochist to enjoy using such a totally fucked up system as PayPal. These guys have no problem processing warez and illegal porn on filelockers but they "provide one of the safest online payment methods" to their regular customers
