PayPal Freezes Hurricane Relief Account

logan5 writes "SomethingAwful's forum denizens, on the call of site admin Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka, raised over $20,000 dollars to be donated to the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. This was done via a PayPal donation link, and PayPal has now frozen the account on a twofold basis: one, that there have been reports of "suspicious behavior" from the "buyers," and two, that no shipping records have been provided for the donations." Since so many users are asking for it, SomethingAwful has provided a link for those wishing to still make donations to the Red Cross in the meantime.

    That, and they also have terrible business practices (PayPal that is.) You'd think PayPal would have learned from previous suits but the bad publicity this situation will bring is far worse than a $9.25 million settlement.
