Indeed! read the various horror stories that can be found all over the web! Luckily, I never had anything to do with PayPal, but a relative of mine in the US had a similar problem to yours (they froze his account with about $700). Now, from what I have read, several states in the US are investigating against PayPal, and some users that have made bad experiences with them are now also planning to get legal help. I hope that the FreeBSD Foundation will not actually get in trouble by using PayPal's services...
