I read an article in Money magazine (or something similar) about Paypal's problems in this very regard. They have so many damn accounts and they have a system that shuts your account down if there are any anomalies, like the dude above who received $1500 in one day.

The problem isn't shutting your account down, it's how long it takes to get it back up and running again. It's all in the customer service. I swear they have a team of monkeys manning the phones over there. They pick up the phone, scream into your ears for a few seconds, then hang up and fling some poop against the wall. Good luck getting an email answered too. Isn't it kind of surprising though, considering they're an Ebay company, and Ebay is an enormous and well run organization.

In conclusion, Paypal blows.
