Are you telling me I can start website called "ebay ltd" and get donations from paypal for hosting wikileaks and snowden leaks and paypay might block ebay transactions along with my ebay ltd?

No because Ebay is well known, but pick a name of a small to medium start up and yes you can probably kill their paypal account

PayPal seems to arbitrarily block transactions on eBay too. Happened to my friend and he called support and they told him there is nothing they can do. In disbelief he called again and got the same response.
