What can we all learn from this? Don't use PayPal.
Use Moneybookers, OKPAY, AlertPay and so on instead.

This aint a lesson learning thread in general, its more on dismay and bad experiences on paypal. So that others will learn to be careful next time.
Exactly, lesson successful

I guess there's some thread also about paypal titled "paypal sucks" on this thread.
lol!
Paypal is bad.
i had my cc cloned last month so my paypal stopped working.
At that point i relised pp is a carte blanche link either to a card or a bank; you can't prepay to protect you funds. So it's debt based and not protecting your details.
I'm looking at virtual creditcards to reduce the problem.

If anyone here is from the bitcoin-OTC IRC channel, you've probably heard me a million times, but here's my story:
Just thought I'd say, paypal are assholes, I got into a dispute for what I thought at first was a chargeback from someone I sold BTC to, but nope, infact after the disputes were over, I saw that they were labeled as "MIP Investigation" meaning Multi-Item Purchase. Sure I can understand them locking my account over a few more transactions than normal... BUT the worst part is, it took 14 days to get any sort-of reply from PayPal after they put me into 10 different disputes with Steam, and people who I'd received or sent money to (INCLUDING GIFTS/PAYMENTS OWED).
After they solved the disputes... they decided that even though the transactions were all good, nothing suspicious... they wanted to reverse them anyway.
So, at the moment I've been limited for over a month, I've got my steam account suspended (that's $300 of games down the drain), and since the payments to steam have now been reversed, I'm expecting my account to get fully removed soon.
Take a look at these screenshots if you want and you'll see the hell I've been through:

A nice list of my disputes: http://i51.tinypic.com/9i4tbp.png
-$40 balance... http://i55.tinypic.com/2q8wkr4.png
And then a crapload of full reversals, but still limited...: http://i54.tinypic.com/2jakfvb.png
And THIS bullshit is why I like bitcoin... your account can't be frozen for no apparant reason and then having all your transactions reversed...
