Are you sure you're just not getting scammed? It doesn't make sense that PayPal would even care. I've used PayPal for years for all sorts of things and have never had anything flag. Seems really odd they would do that.
I mean I don't get it either. Says he's in the US but still I've not really heard of that. I've heard of it for developers but not for people making purchaes.

PayPal algorithm for blocking accounts for "protection" must have been coded by Elon under ketamine back in the days.

Once they blocked my account (I don't use it to get paid, just to pay) for "suspicious activity" while I was trying to buy a train ticket. I almost missed the train having to queue at the ticket vending machine.

I phoned their customer service and they asked: "Maybe you used your account from another city?".

YOU DON'T SAY?

Saturday, while being in Town A, I bought a ticket from Town A to Town B... Must be EXTREMELY "suspicious" that on Sunday I tried to buy another ticket from Town B to Town A while being in Town B... :FacePalm: :FacePalm: :FacePalm:

That really sucks they did that. It's just really weird they do that at all. Then again, I get crap like that all the time with my debit card...and it's suuuuuuuper annoying.
