I know. h:

But when I hover over it, it goes into Paypal.

I just got this email. I guess spending $6 is potentially high risk h:

We recently reviewed your account, and we need more information about your business to allow us to provide uninterrupted service. Until we can collect this information, your access to sensitive account features will be limited. We would like to restore your access as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience.


Why is my account access limited?

Your account access has been limited for the following reason(s):

March. 21, 2006: We have observed activity in this account that is unusual or potentially high risk.

(Your case ID for this reason is PP-153-736-383-910)


How can I restore my account access?
