> we should give them the benefit of the doubt

In what form? Wait until people start losing $2,500 at a time for questionable reasons?

Is your contention that we should wait to see if PayPal abuses this policy, or wait to see if PayPal rescinds it?

Even if this was communicated in error, it shows how far this policy went internally to show up in customer facing copy. This calls into question any benefit of the doubt I’d usually be tempted to extend.

I think this comment was sarcasm, given PayPal have pulled this sort of stunt for years now (especially against anyone involved in adult content). They have always abused it. It's not new.

Yes, sarcasm. Their shenanigans are too numerous to describe. I don't know how anyone can continue using them.

It is so difficult to recognize sarcasm on the Internet these days. You’re probably correct.
