    No one... And I mean no one... In their right mind uses PayPal if they aren't a 100% clean business because of their tendencies to randomly shut accounts down. I don't keep any sum of money in there even though all my international clients pay me via PayPal and I pay my international employees via PayPal.

Even clean clients get frozen pretty regularly. There's speculation that this lets them make a profit by investing those funds and keeping the interest after accounts are re-opened. See PayPal freezes 600k € in Minecraft Dev's account

That seems illegal.

Sadly, it's not about what you know; it's what you can prove.
