Is anyone else experiencing this issue with Paypal? I would like to use mod but don't want Paypal to limit my account.

PayPal have limited my account because I used this mod on my website. I now have to provide them with proof that I am a registered charity or non-profit organisation or I have to refund all donations.

Yup, the Australian Government has begun enforcing anti-money laundering / anti-terrorist financing laws, seems they've cracked down on PayPal to get proper identification, particularly from anyone receiving "Donations".
I believe PayPal are currently upgrading their system/s and as users that receive donations get moved to the newer system they get flagged as a charity/non-profit organization and are requested to supply proof of ID etc. etc.
I spent a week of emailing and 2 hours on the phone with PayPal last week getting my business account sorted out with them.
