Scam by Paypal

Tried to access my account today. No dice as they claim to require further ID. I won't go into the details of the Anti-Money Laundering Act which they claim to be complying with but the upshot is anyone trying to send 1000+ dollars has to cough-up more ID. Until then your money is their money, so they claim. And you can bet your life they'll take as long as they like to verify your ID submission!
I complied with their odious demands, despite receiving no prior notice, and still they refuse me access to my account.
Given the length of time they've had to ask for further ID (Dec 13 2007!!!), it just strikes me as a scam to hang onto dodgy money for as long as possible and use the "processing request" excuse to keep honest users cash in their own pockets.
