They can't be blamed for not wanting competition.
Not wanting competition is OK. Taking anti-competitive action to squash competition is not.
it's not even that but their complete lack of clear policy and mafia style enforcement of perm ban. On ebay (which is owned by the same company as paypal) there is a VIRTUAL CURRENCY category to sell, yet when you use paypal to accept payment for a few collectible physical coins, they label you a currency exchange, freeze your money, then perm ban you. Keep in mind, none of the buyers filed a claim, complaint, or chargeback - they were all happy with the transaction and left positive feedback. But paypal doesnt care, they just ban you anyway.
Their "risk department" doesnt talk to their "compliance department" and noone talks between ebay and paypal. Right after the compliance dept said i am all clear after making jumping through hoops after hoops of signing and providing every document under the sun, the risk dept comes and bans me. Even after i showed them the email from their own compliance dept stating my account was cleared, they flat out said sorry that's a different dept not us. WTF dont you all belong to the same company? And why would you even have a virtual currency or currency category to begin with if selling physical coins get you banned.
It's a cluster**** over there, just pray you fly under the radar and dont get picked up by their automated system, once you do and those humans get involved, you are screwed.
