Amazing that the author has--and is keeping--$6k in PayPal. Even after they threaten to ban and freeze him.

They're well-known for freezing accounts at a whim, and as a merchant I keep nothing in PayPal longer than a day. I don't keep anything in there as a buyer either; they're perfectly happy to fund purchases directly from a bank or CC account. It's just plain safer if PP has as little of my money as possible.

And even if you don't worry much about paypal freezing funds on a whim, it does not make any sense to me to let your money sleep there.

Agreed, I see no reason to hold a balance on Paypal.

I'm more amazed by how they can just "freeze" other people's money, with no repercussions at all. I'd expect the police to get involved fast every time they do that.
