Paypal Doesn't Want Slain Soldiers' Families To Receive Aid

I think "d**cknob" is too nice a term for this. Shame on PayPal.

I have never opened a PP acct. I've been extremely reluctant for this very reason as I've heard stories of them freezing money.

I have had a PayPal account for a few months now and all my payments for my HostGator.com hosting account go through it. I have never had any problems with them, but that is probably because I don't use it for big amounts of money.

At the end of the day they are running a buisness, and all buisnesses rip people off for money in some shape or form.

Well to be fair, the title of this is unfair "Paypal Doesn't Want Slain Soldiers' Families To Receive Aid" this is patently untrue. We all know that they do.

Someone has got very emotionally involved in this and fails to see the bigger picture; using the expression "Slain Soldiers" is sensationalism to say the least.

At the end of the day PayPal may be over zealous in their dealings with clients on the basis of rules and regulations, but security and finacial intergety absolutely must take presidence.

You can't have people opening "charitable organization" accounts without the appropriate documentation, or else PayPal would become a TAX fraud haven.

At the end of the day a misstake was made, by whom its impossible to tell, its difficult for any organizations to start making exceptions but perhaps PayPal can do exactly this in this case, but likewise Deadspin need to calm down and see this for what it is. 180 days will pass in no time (and if nothing untoward has happened they can be sure that the right people will receive the money), and I notice that they are still using a PayPal Donate button on their site anyway...

jg, I think what annoys them is the fact they didn't open the paypal account as a charitable account. They opened it just as a regular account, and then PayPal changed it I think. This is what I gathered from their website posts, but purhapse he is overexagerating a little
