So, at PayPal's sole discretion, they can decide that something I say is "objectionable", and charge me $2500? That's, um... wow.
But courts have sometimes ruled that terms are "unconscionable", even if the user agreed to them. If PayPal starts enforcing this on things that are not clearly over the line, they're going to get sued, and it is not clear that they will win. (They're likely to get sued even if they enforce this on things that are clearly over the line, because this is the US and that's how we roll...)
