I don't know why people always use Paypal when it's had a history of screwing people over.

Use Google checkout for merchants, I've used it and it's really really easy to setup as well as safe.

Google Checkout closed our account because of suspicious attempted purchases of our JavaScript ebook, and kept our money.

So… nope.

How did they keep your money? Was it just a small amount that you couldn't be bothered with so you let them have it? (going by how well your products seem to be doing that's unlikely)

Otherwise I can't see any legal way that they (or PayPal for that matter) would be able to keep anything beyond their transaction fees.

Simple: they close the account without appeal and there is no way to contact a human.
