Paypal's been doing this sort of thing for years and years... funny it took this long to hit someone in the spotlight.
My account was "locked" over three years ago, and because I wouldn't send them all the bs they wanted, it's been permanantely locked... no more ebayin for me

Paypal bit me via ebay too. I managed to keep my ebay account, but it's a pain to sell on it anymore.

That's pretty disturbing - gotta wonder how many George Martins they locked in the hope of getting the right one. Unless they were also looking for the double-R, it was probably a pretty long list.

Martin, here in the States disguised as a big old lovable teddy bear of a guy, is in reality Osama's right-hand man. His Song of Ice and Fire is a cleverly concocted codebook for a terrorist takeover, and Martin's so-called hobby of toy knight collecting was their way of laundering money and transporting deadly devices overseas for the nefarious scheme.
Fortunately PayPal managed to nip it in the bud in the nick of time.

Whoa... Big Brother is watching! (Does this mean we can't blame PayPal for any delays to the publication of ADwD?)
