Sick cats
I’m not going to add much of my own commentary. I haven’t shut down my account completely but I’m going to avoid using it whenever possible and if I’m sending money or having someone buy something from me, I will make sure that the transaction doesn’t earn paypal any fees, if at all possible. They’ve made enough in the fees that they took from poor families and their donors before they allowed the rest of the money to be frozen so the site owner at regretsy couldn’t send it to the needy people she raised money for.

Please pass this info along. Write to paypal, to the news, to celebrities and talk show hosts, and to your own Facebook/Twitter/Google Plus/Wordpress and whatever else you have. Don’t let Paypal get away with this.
