PayPal freezes the finances of Burning Man’s Temple crew | San Francisco Bay Guardian

Jump to Comments

“PayPal has frozen the account of the Flux Foundation – a large crew of Bay Area artists and burners that is headed to the Black Rock Desert this week to build the most ambitious Temple in Burning Man’s 25-year history – claiming the right to profit from the money until the group formally attains its nonprofit status from a backlogged federal government.”

  • I don’t want to play “blame the victim”, but how many times does crap like this have to happen before people stop using PayPal? If you use PayPal, you apparently take a rather hefty risk that at some point they’ll, for whatever reason, freeze your account and make you through all sorts of silly hoops to unfreeze it.

    My outrageometer is totally busted on this, when I see yet another PayPal complaint I just sigh and carry on.
