Why is it whenever I buy something from a particuler USA company, Paypal restrict/review my account?
I appreciate Paypal's efforts to protect my account, particularly as my account was hacked earlier this year.
However, the transactions with the company have been made by me and I would hope to deal with them in the future.

Hey Sally-Anne,
Payments can go under review for a number of reasons but if your account had previously been limited and you are logging in from somewhere that you usually don’t then this could be a reason for the funds being placed on hold.
Should this happen in the future I would advise you to contact us directly using the ‘Contact Us’ link to discuss your account more in depth.
