PayPal froze PhilC's account because he has some lo-res human figures for sale, and they don't even HAVE genitalia, but since they were unclothed, PayPal decided to shut the account down. He eventually got them to re-open it by agreeing to put "censor dots" over the non-existent genitals. PayPal froze the account of an online publisher of e-books who specialize in romance novels. Apparently, romance novels now count as "harcore pornography". I know of many, many sites and users who have lost their account without warning because PayPal suddenly decided that they were in violation. It's NOT a resonable policy, no matter what PayPal wants to try to claim. bonni
