Did they lock the account similar to some of the paypal horror stories we have seen float around? If so, that's another strike for paypal and a reason to motivate everyone to avoid them like the plague.

I had mine locked. I'm pretty sure it's routine.

  * You get a large number, or high transaction value
  * They lock it until you verify bank details/contact details etc
  * It's unlocked

Mine was unlocked in a few days and has been fine ever since.
