I can not imagine why they count my Paypal US turnover to Paypal EU. It is not the same legal entity. I am dealing since 2 weeks with that shit. I am not sure what comes next (an urine and DNA test?)

This can't be true. Europe is so much more free than America.

unless i missed a recent update, that's bullshit. the law as i recall it talks about 7.5k or more in a lump sum, not accumulated.

and i doubt Paypal counts as bank, which are the entities that law actually targets.

without having checked up at this moment, i would guess Paypal hides behind a law that doesn't even affect it, to gain more info about its customers.

interesting move, and even more reason to not use my account anymore.

Yes, I know this only as a lump sum, too. But I don't remember the amount, but 7500 sounds reasonable.
With this logic every Paypal EU customer gets under a special screening earlier or later. Some clients would need a month, others 2 or 3 years. I am a customer of several EU banks, and no one would like to have this informations from me.

Anti money laundering laws are good, but to much is to much.
