I have had to open a dispute with someone that I bought something from recently because the promised item has yet to arrive. And now I am getting many threatening emails because apparently Paypal has frozen the other person's account till the dispute is resolved.

Is this how things are normally with Paypal-that you are frozen out of your account? I gave a long, long time for something to arrive that should have taken just two days-I gave a month, so I do not feel guilty. I just want my refund.
