Nevertheless, thanks to samwisekoi and matt3o for running this group buy!

Here here!
As much money as Paypal makes off these transactions, you would think they wouldn't mind as much. I wonder if they are being a pain just to make sure people aren't laundering money or something. I'm sure it's the legalities that are making things difficult.
Yes, all of the above. Paypal is currently running their business as legislated by the current laws within the United States. Hence the Federal Government wants to stamp out any suspicious transactions. Paypal would rather just make profit but they need to follow all the rules and regulations relating to all the current hype about funding from sources that may harm the US in any way. Thank you GW and Co.
It's not ever going to go away, hence I suspect more stringent laws will be pushed through congress to further clamp down on purchases such as these.
Amazing how times have changed so that the freedom of capitalism is now hammered down to such an extent, to seriously restrict trade within the borders of the US.
That's why anyone wanting to run a Group Buy now must be seriously mental or just love's all the pain and misery that goes with it.
