There was also a period where PayPal would tell people that your account has been locked pending money laundering checks. Which made you sound really dodgy. It was a regulatory thing that was mandatory over a certain amount. Not sure if it overlapped with when this happend but it's pretty close.

I mean the game blew up, and he was selling it without a registered company. By the time they locked his account it had almost a million dollars on it. Same circumstances today, and paypal would do the same I reckon. The assets were unfrozen later from what I understand.

Was the opposite ever possible?

I have only ever heard extremely negative things about small businesses trying to deal with PayPal support.
