    Paypal sucks.
    Sky Image is a merchant, so they hold funds on our behalf.
    Last year, they froze our acct with about $3000 bucks in it, for an
    "internal" audit.
    No explanation, no telephone number to call. They wanted me to FAX our
    bank statements for 2 years + PGE and + Drivers License.

    After 30 days, they unfroze the funds, with no apology. Nothing.

    If you feel good about PayPal, just try to find a telephone number to
    call on their site.

    Maybe good for Payers, but not Payees.

    Beware, NEVER leave a balance with these jerks. They are an unregulated
    bank.
