I have been a victim to Paypal before but this take the cake, someone had sent me $xx for a coding assignment which I finished last month, he paid me on 1st of Feb, today I got an email from paypal saying that the money has been sent back to the sender because

Hello My_name,

Your payment of XX has been sent back to the sender of the payment.

We reversed this payment because we have stopped allowing personal payments to be sent to or from India.

If this was a payment for a purchase of goods or services, and not a personal payment, then you may contact the buyer and have him or her resend the payment as follows: (a) click the Send Money tab, (b) select “Goods,” and (c) provide a shipping address.

If this payment was a personal payment such as a gift, then we have requested that the sender find another payment method until we restore personal payments to and from India.

We are trying to resolve this issue as quickly as possible and we’re sorry for any inconvenience.

Thank you,
PayPal

so I am assuming this is a temporary glitch which will get resolved soon but really, paypal should do better then just reverting the transaction, and how can you just change the policies like that in the middle of the month without notifying your millions of users ?
