I think you may have been talking about the huge scam that happened years ago with China sellers and eBay. eBay was taken for millions of USD. After that happened they cracked down on things and made the paypal pending balance thing and all of the other new rules they have out there as well

Cool, it was a couple of years and PayPal may be different now...I hope & if something serious happened then the dispute can be settled/dropped, but better safe than sorry...5 counts/arrests (I've found) of various attempts to defraud in multiple cities does not bode well though.
