Why do torrent sites lose their PayPal all the time?

[spark]

I do not get it? maybe because I do not get the idea of receiving money via PayPal

you gave for yourself the answer :p

member who get banned file a refund claim. too many such claims will make paypal freeze the account. since torrent sites are illegal the changes of getting such frozen account back is almost zero.

Pretty much this, according to my understanding.

There was a rather long thread about this, made some time ago...

This is just one among many reasons why they may freeze the account. In fact it appears as if they find new reasons every time they decide to mess with you.

Recovery/Withdrawal issues in Paypal are usually due to not trusting why there is so much income on an account. At most they need confirmation that someone real is on the receiving end, or that the income is based off of legit means. In that case, explaining you run a google-like service is your best option. You may not gain anything from doing so, but hey, at least you tried.

When you submit money to a site with Paypal isn't that gifting/donating? How can a person demand a refund or make a claim on that? That can't be the reason for losing Paypal access.

buyer/donor is always right, that's the policy anyway.

This.

SeX recently lost access to their PayPal account. Trackers can't use anything but PayPal unless their host accepts other methods of payment, such as AlertPay, Moneybookers, etc.

anything that doesnt provide ship # number / non-bills > lose claim / dispute
maybe tracker should start make bills for donation?
