I couldn't agree more. I  have  now resorted to  using  credit  cards  and  wire  transfers  to  complete  purchases   that  I  would  otherwise  do  through  PayPal.  PayPal's  policy  makes  absolutely  no   sense.  If  I  have  actually demonstrated  my  reliability  by  spending  $10,000  through PayPal over  5  years, billing through a credit card,  why would they feel the  need  to  cut  me  off  when  I  hit  the  $10K  mark?  in  fact,  I  would  have   hit  the  $10K  mark  years  ago  were  I  not  purposely  avoiding  PayPal  payments!    It  should  be  quite  the  opposite.  Anyway,  I’ll  simply  avoid  Paypal   transactions,   work  around  them  or  avoid  entirely  any  merchant  who  doesn’t  give  me  an   alternative.  Unfortunately,  PayPal's  inane  policy  of  cutting  off  someone  AFTER   they  have  demonstrated  their  spending  reliability  to the tune of $10,000,  gives  me   no choice but to avoid PayPal to the extent I can and reserve my use of it to those increasingly rare situations when it is the lesser of evils. ...
