The idiots at PayPal froze my account since I couldn't prove 501(c) exemption (which I don't have - and more to the point, never claimed to!) and insist that it's "illegal" to receive donations unless you're a registered non-profit with 501(c) IRS clearance. All this happened when I changed the name of the account from my name to the name of my website (because I didn't want my name on the payment page), bringing to their attention my site and PayPal account.

Paypal is a criminal organization
How come people seem so surprised when this happens to them, don't they read the contracts? Have they never heard of these things happening before? I mean this is what you read of daily. Palpal screws everybody. This is like dealing with the mob and then whining you got ripped...
I sure hope the wonderful people at paypal have a lot of fun with all your money.
