If ever there was a single shining example of how not to treat your customers, PayPal is it. Every year or two there is another story of a different arcane rule they have in place that is enforced with zero human consideration, oftentimes to deprive people access to their funds. They don't learn from their mistakes, nor acknowledge them in the first place. I can't think of another company that has drummed up such bad…

Small claims court?
Srsly. This is the UK so it's well within the limits of small claims. IANAL but the U.K. also has less tolerance of "fine print".

If that is the case then it makes you wonder if any of the TOS apply

As someone who uses PayPal on a multiple times per week basis and who has never had any issues, this type of story (as well as the general sentiments of many of the comments) makes me worry that my time will come soon enough. Can anyone recommend a service like PayPal that would be good for online transactions between individuals, but that also allows for credit card use? Fees are to be expected, it's just that I hav…
PayPal seems to manage this, but on the other hand they don't hesitate to block the accounts for whatever reason. Sometimes I wonder if this behavior is the reason they have survived in this business.

Doesn't matter. That clause is invalid in most countries.
That may well be the case but forced arbitration clauses are legal in the US. There have been several recent Supreme Court cases that upheld mandatory arbitration clauses.

In most countries, arbitration clauses are prohibited in B2C contracts. You can't prohibit consumer from suing you.
