I had a similar incident happen. I sold a Nikon Slide scanner to a guy for 1100, and paypal deemed this an out of the ordinary transaction vs. my past history. I sent the package as soon as the funds showed in my Paypal account. Well I got a call at 8 in the morning from a lady claiming to be from paypal and saying that she wanted a tracking number or she was going to freeze my account. She was quite rude and offensive. I wasnt about to give up information from someone who called me so I asked if I could call back. She informed me that she would be freezing my account and thats where the phone call ended. I promptly looked up the phone number from the Paypal site and called them. I was informed that my account had been frozen and that nothing could go in or out until I faxed them "required documents to ensure my security" after going back and forth with them (I think some things are privileged). I finally gave in and faxed them my documents, only to get an e-mail from them saying that they required more documents than was initially stated. What a load of horse poopy! Any who two weeks later my account got unfrozen and I again had access to my funds. This royally pissed me off, as I don't have an extra 1100 to float around as need be. If they weren't so damn convenient I would stop using them
