> So you're asking PayPal to create a new level of service.
No, I'm just saying that the problem seems not to be a fundamental one. And the point here is that PP does accept payments on behalf of IGG. If I decide to fund a campaign, one of the payment options is PayPal (obviously that can be configured and turned off, since it's off for mailpile atm). The funds donated to mailpile via PayPal were donated via the IGG website. That means to me, that PayPal is well aware that the user is trying to fund a risky endeavour, since by definition all IndieGoGo campaigns are presale and likely to fail.
What I don't get here is: Why does PayPal as Payment Provider for IndieGoGo suddenly cop out and say "My dear, but that's too risky. I'll freeze the funds."
It IS a fundamental one. Most of your comments center on "why it's not a problem for IGG" while failing to understand the risks involved (and the risk mitigation actions taken).
