Valve routinely disabled accounts in the event of Paypal disputes:

Bit-Tech: Warning on using PayPal to pay for Steam games
Steampowered: Steam Wallet And Paypal
Steampowered: Steam disabled my account because of PayPal

Now most such cases were resolved by jumping through Paypal's hoops, but the fact that Valve was willing to block access to all games over a dispute involving a couple should be a source of concern to anyone with money tied up in Steam.


Something is not right about those. I had the same issue at that time with Paypal. Only the games that I bought on Steam with PayPal that was being disputed were locked, and I was not allowed to buy any other game till the dispute was over with But I still had access to all my other games that I bought prior to that PayPal screw up. I got it resolved, and never used Paypal since then.
