Learn from their mistakes? I think the biggest lesson has been that you can scam a small percentage of users out of their money, without any real impact. There's been so many stories about paypal stealing people's money, but their core business is still going strong.

Easily the service I hold the most disdain for on the 'net.

And users, indeed trust them. It's merchants that have the most reason to complain.

I think it's part of the plan, while your account is suspended they could possibly use the money and lend it at an interest...
