I want to give you money ---- Will you turn me away?

Long story short is they restricted it to verify it was really us... and now it's back to unrestricted.

Hold on a minute. They took off the restriction within a day???
Man, it took me 3 months of hell to lift restrictions from my site's business account. I'm not sure how often I have called, emailed them back and forth and being stuck in their stupid and insane system. I was just about to bring in my lawyers when they instantly lifted the account freeze.

I dunno... maybe they got better. Literally, I just got an email saying they wanted to verify it was me. I called in, and 5 minutes later... done.

That's a walk in the park then. Nope, they have not really changed yet, but they have promised to change: http://techcrunch.com/2013/01/11/paypal-jay-lake-apology/

I was already wondering about Paypals move to grab a good marketshare in retail POS, gift cards & mobile payments while having such unfriendly policies and reputation. Paypal has been partnering up and buying up companies left and right to get into these markets: http://techcrunch.com/tag/paypal/
