My sentiments exactly, if this were the first instance of this i would forgive them however it is not; I fail to see why paypal is used given it recent history.

Ref: GlassUp Campaign - Indiegogo Diaspora's Funding Account Skullgirls DLC by developer Lab Zero - Indiegogo Paypal even froze a $35k donation for cancer treatment and in another case forced Regretsy to refund all their donations.

PayPal terms of service strictly requires any kind of charity donation campaign to be approved by them in advance. Anyone who has their unapproved donation drive frozen by PayPal kind of deserve what they get.

I don't agree with that. They kind of emphasise that they want people using donation buttons and unless you are going into the ToS and looking (which I'm sure 99.99% of people don't) you wouldn't know that.
