I'd love to see that happen, but I imagine if you read the Terms and Conditions they've got some clause in there that allows them to do this. I wonder if there's anything in there about the duration of the freeze, how long they have until they return the money to its original owners, and whether they have to pay any interest on the money when it's frozen.

I don't really know much about this sort of thing, but I'm guessing that Paypal must be insanely low cost compared to their competitors or something, because I can't imagine anyone deliberately choosing Paypal unless it were really cheap to do so.

And what if they have a clause in their ToC that they are allowed to kill you, are they allowed to kill you then? ...

Paypal is convenient and well known, that's all. They are in fact expensive and extremely unrecommended for anything else than personal low-frequency convenient payments imho.

just my 2 cents.
