It is widely reported that paypal is applying 'competitive' currency exchange rates that are 4% worst than on the market. That is not advertised and is a hidden fee. But my case is funny because THEY cancelled the withdraw, charged the $1.75 withdraw fee, charged the $6 fee for failed withdraws, and lost almost 8% of my balance with currency conversions that didn't take place (from dollars to euros, then from euros back to dollars). My total loss was $84,68 on $1,157.56 balance. Adding insult to injury they limited my account (on Oct 1, 2002) and had me fax shipping receipts, bank statement, cc statement and my drivers license. After that was faxed, my account is stil limited due to issues with my mother's paypal account (her balance is not negative).
But one image is worth a thousand words. Watch the incredible shrinking paypal account go from $1.157,56 to $1.072,88 although no transaction took place:

if they locked up your mother account which has a positive balance,it could be she is facing a chargeback or complaints and there is not enough fund to cover .
but we are back to this issue unique to cyberspace,is it really your mother's account or is it your account in your mother's name??
are you two sharing pc,isp,addr,phone,cc,bank accounts??
