Hmmm. Peculiar shenanigans going on at PayPal. See, I bought (another) one of these on e-bay. The seller prefers PayPal, so I go and register (I used to have an account, but closed it, because I never used it). Two days later PayPal e-mails me to say my account has been suspended because of suspicious activity. I'm thinking PayPal must be paranoid as f**k, because there's been no, none, zip, nada activity on the account. No money in, no money out. None.
Having visited the site to find out what the issue could be, I find out that they want me to fax them my passport / driving licence. I say bugger that for a game or soldiers.
Thankfully, it would appear that I'm lucky. I had no money in my account. Others have had a different experience.
I await PayPal's response to my request to close my account.
