Paypal is regulated by the luxembougish banking association. The most important rule is "know your customer". If you don't do that as a bank, you will go to jail if you have dirty money coming in.

I suspect all those crying foul in the past (also the minecraft) guy never provided identifying information (an email and a name is not enough!) and when your account exceeds a certain quota, you have to provide these information.
