In fact, it's just that sort of (alleged) thing that prompted creation of a
Web site called PayPalwarning.com, replete with
horror stories from purportedly innocent users whose accounts were shut off.
But despite a
patent infringement lawsuit, and regulatory threats in some states,
investors continue to favor the stock of the Palo Alto, Calif.-based company
- it closed Wednesday at $19.65, up from its
$13 IPO price. The stock was down 80 cents in the early going today.
The most recent lawsuit, filed in San Jose, Calif., federal court, also
claims that the company makes it too hard for its 14 million customers to
resolve complaints against PayPal.
The suit seeks nationwide class-action status and was lodged on behalf of
three people who said they had their accounts frozen, or had money taken out
of accounts in error by PayPal.
"Based on our reading of the complaint, we believe this suit to be without
merit and we'll contest it vigorously," PayPal spokeswoman Julie Anderson was
quoted by the Associated Press PayPal faces another patent suit - CNET News.com::

as saying.
Meanwhile, there was some good news for PayPal as the company said that it
has received word from the FDIC Legal Department to the effect that, when
PayPal acts as agent for customers and places customer funds with FDIC member
banks, the funds will qualify for federal deposit insurance up to $100,000
per customer per bank.
