"it might work" OR it might not
Read PP's TOS carefully and remember for what reasons the other site's paypal got locked down.

Paypal will freeze your account as soon as they find out what you're trading, at that point you will lose all funds in the account.
It sucks that paypal have this rule, but the TOS is a contract which you willingly enter into by opening an account and you should therefore abide by it.

Can you only make sites through webs.com or WYSIWYG services? Everything I've seen you make can be created by almost anyone. There is no background knowledge needed for creating a webs.com website. You need to have a good background knowledge of web technologies (HTML, CSS Styling, PHP, Ruby) before you even try to begin. If not, who's going to trust a limited functioning website made through a WYSIWYG service? It looks unprofessional with the ads, theme, and a donation button with no content. Not to mention the "Create a Free Website" button on the footer. |

I have no money in my 2nd But you presumably will if you get customers. Customers will buy your BTC, they will pay to paypal - you send the BTC. You lose your BTC. Next, paypal freezes your account. You lose the fiat you sold that BTC for. |

Yeah definably a bad time to be doing this, esspecially after another use got locked. Paypal will just be monitoring large amounts of money that are coming from unused account by now for sure. Then they'll just do a google search of your email, find out its being used for bitcoins and then lock its. Sounds stupid to me. Lose your money and others

I run a business using Paypal checkout. Initially they do a LOT of reviews of you to make sure you're legit. Until I had $10k+ sales I would get a call almost every time I withdrew to my account. Then they just sort of chill and let you do business. Unless you get a bunch of complaints, I don't think they really do much more reviewing.
My advice:
DON'T sell bitcoins directly through Paypal. Instead, sell GIFTCARD CODES to your site, which people can use to get site credit to then purchase bitcoins. Selling giftcards to your site is NOT going to violate Paypal's TOS, and if the item shows up as "Yoursite.com Giftcard" on the Paypal invoice, it shouldn't raise any red flags. Honestly, Paypal usually doesn't spend much time looking at a merchant unless there are a bunch of fraud/complaint charges.
Try to start small, maybe limit the number of users initially. A rapid spike in sales will set off red flags. Instead going gradually from 1k-3k-10k-20k a month or so looks better.
