Paypal doesn't give a shit about anyone. Paypal + Ebay is the largest single fencing operation in the world. Police forces across Canada have full time employees surfing Ebay for stolen goods, and I doubt they catch more than a small percentage of the thieves selling their wares on Ebay.

If I was a theif, I would put my wares on Ebay before I hit up a local fence or pawnshop. Very little chance I'll be caught. Of course, selling titty pics will get my account locked, but breaking into your house and selling your wife's earrings? Good to go.

Paypal shut down my account (non adult) years ago, but I can still log into my Paypal account and purchase stuff. The last thing I bought through Paypal was the PC game "Torchlight" - about a year ago.

It may take awhile, but I think there's a hard fall a'coming.
