  1. Choosing PayPal is a fault by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    PayPal is not a bank. They can practically freeze your account (and money) indefinitely and no regulation can stop them from doing so.

    Just go to http://www.paypalsucks.com/ and see how often they've done that in the past.

    I really wish Sourceforge (which is also owned by OSTG like Slashdot) would stop supporting PayPal and choose a more reliable service to handle project donations

    Don't trust your money to PayPal. All regulations that keep regular banks from just stealing from you do not apply for PayPal.
