PayPal User Suspended for Purchasing an Isis Shirt

Although I doubt MetalSucks readers can all agree as to whether or not we should boycott PayPal because its founder is a Trump supporter, I’d wager all MetalSucks readers can agree that this is very silly.

Metal Injection reports that a fan named Jimmy Cianfrogna‎ has been suspended from PayPal… because he purchased an Isis shirt. That’s Isis the band, natch, not ISIS the terrorist organization.

In PayPal’s defense, they’re just covering their ass. Not so much in PayPal’s defense, this makes me realize how little attention they’re actually paying to any of the goods exchanged on their site beyond the name. Which makes me wonder if you can use PayPal to sell anything so long as you give that item an inoffensive label on the invoice. Like you could go purchase a sex slave and a massive bag of cocaine so long as you called it “Frozen deluxe princess pack” or something.

I’m saying this might not be the most secure system for weeding out the bad seeds, y’know?
